Abstract

This method describes procedures for determining the ability of fiberboard containers to protect their contents and/or to withstand impact in free-fall drops. These procedures are specifically designed for controlled drop testing of solid fiber or corrugated shipping containers <br>They do not apply to cylindrical containers or cans made of fiber. <br>This test is not normally used on packages heavier than 68 kg (150 lb). <br>NOTE 1: Heavier packages may rarely be tested, but are unwieldy and usually undergo other tests such as incline impact or rotational edge/corner/flat drops. These tests are not defined in this method. <br>No single procedure is applicable to all handling, transportation and environmental conditions. Alternative test procedures are available in the literature cited in the References section.
