EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60068-2-31 testing. This standard deals with a test procedure for simulating the effects of rough handling shocks, particularly on equipment type specimens, impacts, jolts and drops that can be received during repair work or during rough handling in operational use.
This procedure does not simulate the effects of impacts received during transport as loosely restrained cargo. Where the effects of loose cargo transport are to be evaluated, the test Ee: Bounce should be used. Also, this procedure does not simulate the effects of shock applied to installed equipment.
Where to evaluate this effect, see Ea: Shock test. The test should only be specified for equipment likely to be subjected to such rough handling, such as those of small to medium size and mass. and should only be applied to faces and corners where there is a risk of encountering such treatment. In general, equipment that is frequently used and maintained (for example, field equipment and unit spares) may be considered at risk, while equipment that forms an integral part of a permanent installation is not normally considered at risk and does not need to be tested.
The test may not be applicable to fragile unprotected equipment of irregular shape (e.g. aircraft nose radar) that will be contained within a carrying frame or gauge when removed from installation. However, it can be applied to these pieces of equipment in transport situations or while in transport frames or apparatus. For equipment that stands on only one face (for example, a normal sole), the test is usually applied to that face only. Shock tests are performed on the sample when it is fixed to the testing machine.
Drop and rollover, free fall, repeated free fall and splash tests are performed while the sample is in the free state. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1969 and constitutes a technical revision.
