Child-Resistant Package and Microbiological Testing for the Packaging Industry

As a supplier of packaging components, you are a critical link in the supply chain. Manufacturers depend on the quality and compliance of your components to ensure their own final products are market-ready and as safe as possible. Perritt Laboratories provides child-resistant (CR) package and microbiological testing services to help you verify the integrity of your materials. We operate as your independent, third-party testing partner, delivering defensible data to support your products, strengthen customer relationships, and differentiate your business in a competitive market.

Child-Resistant Package Testing for Suppliers

Our CR package testing for component suppliers provides data demonstrating that your products meet rigorous CPSC and ISO standards. This proactive verification de-risks your clients’ development process and positions you as a knowledgeable partner. We test a wide range of components and materials from injection-molded closures and vials to flexible blister materials, films, and complete nonreclosable systems, providing defensible data to qualify your products.

Microbiological Testing for Packaging Materials

Our microbial testing for package suppliers evaluates bioburden across a range of items, including glass and plastic bottles, stoppers, liners, and flexible pouches. We verify that your components meet stringent safety regulatory requirements, such as CPSC and ISO 8317 standards. 

We perform:

  • Microbial limits and bioburden testing: We quantify the microbial load on finished components to confirm compliance with cleanliness specifications. If microorganisms are present, we can identify their specific type, providing critical data to pinpoint the source of contamination and to perform other internal packaging material quality control protocols.
  • Environmental monitoring: We assess airborne viable bioburden in your cleanrooms and test your water systems for microbial contamination, enabling you to confirm that your components are produced in a clean setting.
  • Surface testing: Our scientists test your manufacturing equipment and assembly lines to evaluate the efficacy of your sanitation and cleaning protocols. This process confirms that product changeover procedures are effective and that your equipment is free from contaminants.
  • Antimicrobial effectiveness testing: We challenge your innovative materials to verify that they actively inhibit microbial growth, providing a significant value-add for your customers. This service is appropriate if you are developing active packaging solutions designed to help preserve the end product.

Why Choose Perritt Laboratories

Our status as a trusted, independent lab provides defensible data demonstrating the quality and compliance of your components. These reports help you reduce your clients’ testing burden, build trust, and foster long-lasting partnerships. Our laboratory holds A2LA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 and is FDA-registered, demonstrating conformance to international quality standards. We also perform tests in accordance with CPSC protocols.

If you are working with novel or unique packaging materials, standard testing methods may be insufficient. We can develop custom testing solutions tailored to your specific material using AOAC and ASTM standards. This capability allows you to provide accurate quality control data.

We conduct tests in a state-of-the-art facility in central New Jersey, featuring equipment maintained to cGMP standards. The facility is divided into clean areas for testing different samples, and all controlled-temperature units are monitored 24/7 to maintain test integrity.
