Amazon Product Packaging ISTA 6-Amazon.com-SIOC Testing:

The packaging and transportation testing system established by the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) is designed to verify whether goods can withstand long-distance transportation and various environmental conditions—such as air, sea, rail, and road transport—and still arrive at their destination intact and fully functional. The ISTA Project 6 series are member-specific test standards, such as those for Amazon, SAMS CLUB, FedEx, etc.

The ISTA 6-Amazon.com-SIOC test standard is an agreement that products from Amazon and its suppliers must follow within Amazon's operational environment.
