Standard Test Method for Concentrated Effects on ASTM D6344 Transport Packages

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D6344 test standard. This test method covers procedures and equipment for testing fully filled transport packages for resistance to the typical low-level intense impacts encountered in the distribution environment.

The test is most suitable for packages with thin corrugations, such as lightweight corrugated boxes or stretch wrap packaging.

The test result is a pass-fail determination based on previously established acceptance criteria and a record of the energy dissipated by a fully loaded transport package during a low-level intense impact.

This test method discusses the conduct of testing from a predetermined height, which may or may not meet certain acceptance criteria. It may be possible to perform such tests using modified procedures that provide a numerical response.

These may include an incremental test in which the drop height (or mass) is increased until a certain failure occurs, or the up-down or ladder procedure is used to find the average height up to the failure.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
