Owing to the differences in the type, material and specification of dangerous goods packaging, the requirements of the performance tests are also different. Under the premise of not affecting the accuracy of the testing results, the test could be run by using an analogue instead of the actual sample. The testing performance of the dangerous goods packaging consisted of the drop test, air tightness test, hydraulic test and stacking test, being corresponded to the impact resistance, the sealing performance requirements, the internal pressure and the strength accordingly. Attentions should be paid to testing requirements, testing conditions, the qualification criteria and key control points as of detection. In the practical detection, unqualified dangerous goods packaging included corrugated carton stacking failure, unqualified hydraulic test of the plastic drum, steel plastic composite barrel hydraulic test failure, steel drum drop testing unqualified, carton drop testing failure etc. In the future, the packaging testing should be oriented in the direction of standardization, normalization and scientization, with less influence from factors such as human interference.
