Contractors proposing a packaging deviation need to submit the following (to be included within the contract): (1) packaging instructions including list of packaging materials with sketch for packagers; (2) picture of package design, including interior; and (3) successful test report.

Note: The International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) is an acceptable alternative test method for packaging design performance, as ISTA tests to the standards of ASTM D4169.
