AS 60068.2.32-2003 identically adopts IEC 60068-2-32:1975 incorporating Amendment 2:1990 which assesses the effects on a specimen of simple standard tests intended to be representative of the fall likely to be experienced during rough handling, or demonstrates a minimum degree of robustness, for the purpose of assessing safety requirements.

To assess the effects on a specimen of simple standard tests intended to be representative ofthe fall likely to be experienced during rough handling, or to demonstrate a minimum degreeof robustness, for the purpose of assessing safety requirements.This test is primarily intended for specimens not in their packing and for items in their transport case when the latter may be considered as part of the specimen itself.
