ISO 2244 Packaging, Complete, Filled Transport Packages and Unit Loads, Horizontal Impact Tests

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 2244 testing. This International Standard specifies methods for horizontal impact testing on a complete, filled transport package or a unit load. The test may be performed as a single test to investigate the effects of lateral impact or as part of a series of tests designed to measure the ability of a package or a unit load to withstand a distribution system with lateral impact hazards.

Applying a horizontal velocity to the test specimen and stopping it by impact with a vertical impact surface. Atmospheric conditions, impact velocity and behavior of the test specimen are predetermined. Certain impact conditions can be simulated by placing appropriately profiled inserts between the impact surface and the impact surface or edge of the test specimen.

The dimensions of the impact surface must be larger than the impact surface or selected portion of the test specimen. The impact surface must be rigid enough not to bend more than 160 mm when a load of 0,25 kg/cm is applied to any part of the surface.
