Laboratory testing is designed to complement real-life shipment validation, and often it is immediately apparent that a laboratory test is needed (for example, in the case of regulatory compliance). In some cases, a field evaluation may be required to deliver a greater insight on a particular performance issue. Conducting distribution testing in a laboratory environment provides the ability to control the test intensity level. This means that testing can be undertaken at a range of intensity levels representing the range of real-life shipment and handling severities, providing performance trends and data on performance for different supply chain conditions. If testing is only conducted using real-life ‘live’ shipments, the true hazard levels are not known for any given shipment, making the testing subjective.
