Under the condition that the electronic control valve is working normally, the assembly is carried out according to the method described in the relevant clauses of QC/T XXXX test. After the test, continue to test according to the free clearance of 6.1.1, the internal leakage of 6.1.2, the function test of 6.1.3 and the steering force characteristic of 6.1.5 to check whether the assembly works normally. In the muddy water endurance test of forward rotation, the vehicle speed signal is input to the controller at a frequency of 0.05Hz and the vehicle speed varies from 0km/h to Vmax to 0km/h. Under the condition that the electronic control valve is working normally, the assembly shall be in accordance with the relevant provisions of QC/T XXXX. test using the method described above. After the test, continue to test according to: 1 free clearance, no-load torque and external leakage, 2 internal leakage, 3 functional test, 4 steering gear stiffness and steering force characteristics to check whether the assembly works normally.

What Are the ISTA Standard Tests and ISTA Testing Equipment?
ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) standard tests are globally recognized transportation packaging test procedures designed to evaluate the safety and reliability of products and their packaging throughout the logistics chain. By simulating real-world transportation conditions such as drops, vibration, impact, stacking, and compression, ISTA testing helps identify potential packaging weaknesses before products enter large-scale distribution. ISTA testing equipment—including drop testers, vibration testers, incline impact machines, and compression testers—plays a critical role in accurately reproducing these conditions under laboratory settings. Proper selection and use of ISTA-compliant equipment enable manufacturers to reduce transportation damage, lower return costs, enhance packaging design, and improve customer confidence in product quality and logistics safety.
