Empty bag test method
Empty bags should be sealed with some air in them to test properly. It is recommended that a block of
foam be placed in the bag to give a consistent volume for testing. This ensures that all operators will
achieve the same results.
5.3
Rigid tray, tub, or cup test method
Rigid packaging sealed with lid film can be tested with the lid film down if there is no product. It is
recommended that the test is performed with the lid film up if there is product. This allows the gas in the
headspace to escape if there are any leaks. Gases are much more easily seen than liquid product.
Some products can be tested with lid film down using the dry chamber method, looking for product (see
page 4).
