Drop test for fiberboard shipping containers
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. They do not apply to cylindrical containers or cans made of fiber. This test is not normally used on packages heavier than 45.2 kg (100 lb). No single procedure is applicable to all handling, transportation and environmental conditions. Listed in the Appendix are alternative procedures that may be used at the tester’s discretion.
