    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    CONTAINED IN VOL. 15.10, 2017 Defines the random vibration testing of filled shipping units.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1This test method covers the random vibration testing of filled shipping units. Such tests may be used to assess the performance of a container with its interior packing and means of closure in terms of its ruggedness and the protection that it provides the contents when subjected to random vibration inputs.

    1.2This test method provides guidance in the development and use of vibration data in the testing of shipping containers.

    Note 1:Sources of supplementary information are listed in the Reference section (1-11).2

    1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific safety hazard statements are given in Section 6.

    1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
