Describes a test method to determine resistance to mechanical shocks of articles for use in catering and industrial services where subjected to frequent and substantial shocks. Results from this test method are dependent upon the details of the test conditions. Results cannot be generalized for other utensils made of the same material, or to other test conditions, and are only valid for the test conditions and article detailed in the test report.
