From regulatory validation and shelf-life studies to shipment simulation, sterile barrier integrity and temperature-controlled testing, our specialists can support packaging programmes across development, validation and investigation.

Packaging testing may need to demonstrate compliance, evaluate product and pack performance under expected distribution conditions, or investigate an unexpected failure. Smithers combines specialist healthcare packaging expertise with extensive laboratory and distribution testing capabilities to help clients:
  • Support packaging validation and applicable regulatory requirements, including ISO 11607 and MDR
  • Evaluate packaging and packaged-product performance through transport and storage
  • Identify potential weaknesses before they affect later development milestones
  • Investigate packaging, material and distribution-related failures
  • Support packaging development, optimisation and technical decision-making

Where testing forms part of a wider development or submission programme, Smithers can also provide a more coordinated approach - from technical scoping and protocol development through laboratory scheduling, testing, progress management and reporting.

We support both routine and bespoke testing programmes, including custom test method development for complex scenarios. Our specialists can also draw on wider Smithers expertise in materials selection, physical testing and chemical analysis where required.
