Description (English):

This International Standard specifies a method for testing the resistance of a complete, filled transport package or a unit load to water spray or the protection it gives to its contents from water spray. It may also be used to precondition a complete, filled transport package or a unit load prior to another test to investigate reduction in strength caused by exposure to water. The test is performed on the test specimen as prepared for transport and may form part of a test sequence.

Abstract

Overview

EN ISO 2875:2002 is an international standard developed by CEN and ISO that specifies a method for testing the resistance of complete, filled transport packages and unit loads to water spray. The Water-spray test evaluates how well packaging protects its contents from water spray exposure during transit and storage conditions. The test can also be used as a preconditioning step to assess the reduction in package strength after water exposure.

This standard ensures that packaging solutions meet industry requirements for durability and protection against water ingress, contributing to safe and reliable transport of goods.

Key Topics

Test Scope: Applies to complete, filled transport packages and unit loads as prepared for transport.
Test Methods: Two methods are outlined:
- Method A - Continuous spraying on the top surface.
- Method B - Intermittent spraying with sprays moving across the package.
Apparatus Requirements:
- Controlled temperature conditions (5°C to 30°C).
- Spray nozzles positioned at least 2 meters above test specimen.
- Uniform water spray rate calibrated between 80 and 120 liters per square meter per hour.
Test Specimen Preparation:
- Use intended or simulated contents matching physical properties of the original goods.
- Packages must be sealed and conditioned per ISO 2233.
Calibration: Ensures uniform water distribution and accurate flow rate using calibrated containers.
Test Procedure: Water spray applied vertically for a defined period; package and contents assessed for water infiltration or weakening.
Result Reporting: Detailed documentation including test conditions, specimen description, environmental factors, method used, and observations.

Applications

EN ISO 2875:2002 is essential for industries requiring reliable transportation of goods with protection against water exposure, such as:

Logistics and Shipping: Verifies packaging performance against environmental conditions encountered during shipping.
