Product Details

ASTM D7860 Torque Retention for Child Resistant Packaging Standard Test Measurements using Automated Torque Testing Equipment ASTM D7860 is a testing standard that focuses on characterizing the torques associated with thread-based closure devices of medical packaging. This standard is most commonly used for pharmaceutical pill bottles. This test ensures that all consumers - regardless of hand strength - can easily remove bottle lids to access their medication. This test also ensures that the child-closure mechanism is working properly, a critical check for the safety of young children. MATERIALS TESTING SYSTEM For ASTM D7860 testing we recommend WDW-5E single column system with the lower grip, four post torsion grips are ideal since they can accommodate a wide range of bottle geometries. The upper grip should be a lathe chuck capable of grabbing onto the cap. The load cell should be biaxial.
