Packaging - Complete, filled transport packages - Vertical impact test by dropping (ISO 2248:1985)

Principle: Raising of the test package above a rigid plane surface and releasing it to strike this surface (the "impact surface") after a free fall. The atmospheric conditions, the height of drop and the attitude of the package are predetermined. An annex gives the predetermined attitude of the test package.

La présente Norme internationale spécifie une méthode d'essai de choc vertical par chute libre des emballages d'expédition complets et pleins. Un tel essai peut être effectué comme essai simple dans le but d'examiner les effets d'un choc vertical, ou il peut faire partie d'une série d'essais destinés à mesurer la résistance d'un emballage dans un système de distribution qui comprend un risque de choc vertical.

Overview

EN 22248:1992 (ISO 2248:1985) specifies a method for performing a vertical impact (drop) test on complete, filled transport packages. The test reproduces a free-fall vertical impact onto a rigid plane to evaluate a package’s ability to withstand distribution hazards that include vertical drops. The standard sets the principle, apparatus requirements, package preparation, conditioning, test procedure and reporting requirements. An annex defines the predetermined attitudes (faces, edges, corners) for different package shapes.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Test principle: Raise the filled test package and release it to strike a rigid, horizontal impact surface after a free fall. Atmospheric conditions, drop height and package attitude are predetermined.
• Apparatus:
  • Lifting arrangement that does not damage the package.
  • Means to hold the package in the predetermined attitude prior to release.
  • Release mechanism ensuring an unobstructed fall.
  • Impact surface: horizontal, flat and massive (note: the surface normally should have a mass at least 50× the heaviest package, flatness within 2 mm, and rigidity such that it deforms no more than 0.1 mm when 10 kg is applied to 100 mm2).
• Package preparation: Use intended contents or simulated/dummy contents that closely match the physical properties and dimensions of the real contents. Close the package as for normal distribution.
• Conditioning: Condition packages in accordance with ISO 2233 (environmental conditioning) and, where critical, perform the test in the same atmosphere.
• Procedure tolerances:
  • Drop height must be within +/– tolerance (height held within +2% of predetermined drop height as defined from lowest package point to impact surface).
  • Impact velocity should be within ±1% of free-fall velocity.
  • Predetermined attitude (face/edge/corner) must be held within specified angular tolerances; the annex details identification and orientation rules for parallelepipeds, cylinders, sacks and miscellaneous shapes.
• Test report: Must document reference to the standard, number of replicates, package description and dimensions, contents (or dummy-item details), gross mass, conditioning details, test attitudes, drop height, apparatus, deviations, results, date and tester signature.

Applications and users

• Packaging engineers and designers validating protective packaging performance.
• Test laboratories performing type or acceptance testing.
• Manufacturers, shippers and logistics providers verifying packaging resilience for distribution.
• Quality assurance teams using drop tests for production control and design verification.
• Regulatory or procurement authorities specifying minimum handling/transport performance.

Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take patt in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard ISO 2248 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 2248-19721, which has been technically revised as follows: - a new clause on “Package preparation” has been added. Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its Jatest edition, unless otherwise stated. 0 International Organkation for Standardkation, 1985 Printed in Switzerland SIST EN 22248:1996

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 22484985 (E) Packaging - Complete, filled transport packages - Vertical impact test by dropping 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies a method for carrying out a vertical impact test on a complete, filled transport package by dropping. lt may be performed either as a Single test to in- vestigate the effects of vertical impact or as part of a sequence of tests designed to measure the ability of a package to with- stand a distribution System that includes a vertical impact hazard. 2 References ISO 2206, Packaging - Complete, filled transport packages - ldentification of Parts when testing.

The atmospheric conditions, the height of drop and the attitude of the package are predetermined. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Lifting arrangement, which will not darnage the test package during either lifting or release. 4.4 Impact surface, horizontal and flat, massive enough to be immovable and rigid enough to be non-deformable under test conditions. NOTE - In normal circumstances, the impact sur-face provided shall be - integral with a mass at least 50 times that of the heaviest package to be tested; - flat, such that no two Points on its sut-face differ in level by more than 2 mm; - rigid, such that it will not be deformed by more than 0,l mm when an area of 100 mm* is loaded statically with 10 kg anywhere on the surface; - sufficiently large to ensure that the test package falls entirely upon the surface. In addition, the apparatus shall meet the requirements and tolerantes of clause 7. 5 Package preparation The test package shall normally be filled with its intended con- tents. However, simulated or dummy contents may be used, on condition that the dimensions and physical proper-Ges of such contents shall be as close as possible to those of the in- tended contents. Ensure that the test package is closed normally, as if ready for distribution. If simulate
