This standard gives a method of test for determination of the resistance to mechanical shocks of articles used in catering and industrial services where they are subject to substantial and frequent shocks. It is well known that the results of this test procedure depend upon the details of the test conditions. The results therefore cannot be generalized for other ustensils made of the same material, nor to other test conditions. The results are only valid for the article and test conditions specified in the test report.
