    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    CONTAINED IN VOL. 15.09, 2015 Establishes shock-absorbing features of foam-in-place packaging materials.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1These test methods determine the shock-absorbing characteristics of foam-in-place packaging materials.

    1.2Test Method Auses a free-fall package drop test apparatus.

    1.3Test Method Buses a shock-test apparatus.

    1.4The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

    1.5This 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
