Overview

This standard specifies a method to carry out a vertical random vibration test on a complete, filled transport package(s) and unit loads using random excitation. This test can be used to assess the performance of a package in terms of its strength or the protection that it offers to its contents when it is subjected to vertical vibration. The test discussed in this document can be performed either as a single test to investigate the effects of vertical vibration, or as a part of a sequence of tests designed to measure the ability of a test specimen to withstand a distribution system that includes a vibration hazard. This document has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122 "Packaging" (secretariat: JISC, Japan) in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 261 "Packaging" (secretariat: AFNOR, France). The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 115-01-04 AA "Anforderungen und Prüfung" ("Requirements and test methods") at DIN Standards Committee Packaging (NAVp).
