The AMAZON ISTA 6 standards were developed by ISTA in cooperation with Amazon.com to evaluate individual packages. Project 6-AMAZON.COM is a general simulation test for “Ships In Own Container” (SIOC) packaged-products shipped through Amazon’s distribution system to final customer destinations.

This test is for packaged-products shipped by Vendors to Amazon.com Fulfillment Centers and delivered to final customer destinations via Parcel or Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) outbound shipment methods.

Amazon.com Vendors are encouraged to use this test to understand the protective performance of their packaging.
