STACKING STABILITY TEST SET-UP & RESULTS Results PASS CRITERIA FOR PASSING THE TEST In guided load tests, stacking stability must be assessed after test completion. Two filled packagings of the same type must be placed on the test sample. The stacked packages must maintain their position for one hour. ( ) For stack stability, TEN-E places the filled samples one on top of the other. The bottom sample is rotated to the top until all three samples have been subjected to stacking stability for one hour each.
