Keith, engineering analysis of the package to the
requirements of the Code will suffice.  Keep the
documentation available for review by regulators.  Best to
include the analysis documentation as an attachment to your
office file for each shipment made using the package.  You
can also perform testing yourself to back up the analysis.
