Compliance Management Group Approved for ISTA 3L Testing

New testing protocol designed for e-commerce retailers shipping direct-to-consumer

Marlborough, Mass. ─ August 29, 2023 ─ Compliance Management Group (CMG), a leading package and product testing laboratory for manufacturers nationwide, is pleased to announce its approval as an ISTA 3L Testing Certification provider. ISTA 3L is a research-based, data-driven testing protocol that simulates the hazards experienced when product orders, fulfilled by retailers, are shipped directly to consumers.

“While we’re excited about this new package testing capability, we’d like to reiterate some specific guidance for our valued partners,” said CMG President Michael Morrow.

For Amazon vendors: Continue to use the ISTA Amazon standards. Our commitment to ensuring the integrity of products shipped through the Amazon distribution network remains intact.

For our partners in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries: We recommend retaining the use of ISTA 3A, ISTA 3B, or ASTM D4169 standards.

CMG’s priority has always been, and will remain, to align with the best industry practices and standards, ensuring the utmost quality and reliability for our partners.

This past weekend, two of my key engineers were at your facility working a highly visible and critical program for Northrop Grumman, the ATFLIR program supporting the FA-18s. I wanted to pass along my sincerest thanks to you for arranging support at your facility, and most particularly to the two gentlemen, Dan Gordon and Bernie Cameron, who worked with us on Friday, October 13th and Saturday, October 14th. Without their professional assistance and support, we could not have managed to achieve all that we did in such a short time or on such short notice. Both should be commended for providing top notch level of support. I have been told by both Northrop Grumman engineers who were at your facility that Dan and Bernie gave 110% effort. Please express to each our thanks, not only for their support, but for giving up a part of their personal time on our behalf.

I would like to express my appreciation for the support I received from your organization on our latest round of testing last week of the APR-39A Receiver Assemblies. I would especially like to thank your technical staff, particularly Dan and Bernie, for successful test profiling and after-hour support on a holiday weekend. Timely completion of the testing sequence represented approximately 400K in end of year sales for our Littleton Operation. Thanks again and I look forward to future programs with your organization.
