Packaging Quality Certification Also by CJ Logistics... Recognized as an Internationally Accredited Testing Organization

Securing Nationally Certified Credibility
Providing Packaging Testing and Solutions

CJ Logistics has become an internationally accredited testing institution capable of evaluating the safety of logistics packaging.

On the 15th, CJ Logistics announced that its Packaging Innovation Center was recognized as an internationally accredited testing institution for logistics packaging safety by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS), under the National Institute of Technology and Standards of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

KOLAS's testing institution accreditation system officially recognizes testing capabilities by evaluating the systems and technical skills of testing institutions according to international standards. The test results from CJ Logistics' Packaging Innovation Center now hold the credibility of national accreditation.

The Packaging Innovation Center evaluates product safety under various conditions according to domestic and international standards, including ▲product safety in parcel delivery environments ▲product safety against vertical drop impact ▲product safety under compressive load ▲product safety under irregular vibrations. Notably, the Packaging Innovation Center was the first to obtain KOLAS accreditation for the uniquely domestic standard testing specification specialized for parcel packaging, 'KS T 5055.'

As the e-commerce market grows, demand for packaging research and development and quality testing suited to logistics distribution situations is increasing in related industries. In response, CJ Logistics plans to provide accredited testing services to client companies and requesting organizations.

The Packaging Innovation Center is CJ Logistics' packaging research organization established last year in the Dongtan logistics complex in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province. It is equipped with a 'Packaging Safety Laboratory' capable of conducting tests related to damage such as compression, stacking, and vibration tests that may occur during delivery, and an 'Environmental Testing Laboratory' that can replicate domestic temperature and humidity conditions to test product deterioration during delivery. Researchers at CJ Logistics' Packaging Innovation Center analyze the impact on parcel boxes by dropping the boxes 460 times on corners and faces in each direction over the average parcel delivery time of 36 to 48 hours, shaking them 60,000 times, and repeatedly exposing them to low and high temperatures.

Kim Jeong-hee, head of CJ Logistics TES Logistics Technology Research Institute, said, "We plan to provide accredited testing services to clients pursuing high-quality packaging and eventually propose packaging solutions optimized for material properties."
