Common questions
Is ISTA 1A enough for a retailer?
Usually not. Series 1 is a non-simulation integrity test. Retailers and carriers generally require Series 3 or their own Series 6 program.
Not certain ISTA 1A is the right test?
Answer a few questions about what you ship and we will tell you which standard applies — and why the others do not.
