Drop test generally refers to after the product is packaged (in the outer box), do free fall at a certain height, and then see if there is damage. It is mainly suitable for testing the damage condition of the product packaging when it is fallen, and the impact strength of the parts when it is fallen during the transfer process. The diamond, corner and face of the packaging container should be tested.

Specifically, it is to drop one corner, three sides and six sides of the box 10 times, the order is any corner, the corner corresponds to the short side, the second short side, the long side, the order of six sides is a small area, the second small side, the area is from small to large. All products shipped in a cartoon box should be 1 box, except for fragile products (such as products made of glass, ceramic or containing glass or ceramic materials) or large furniture (such as tables, chairs and beds). For most products, the landing test failure does not REJECT the shipment, but it does give Homebase an idea of how much the product may have suffered during the transfer process. For electrical products (power supplies with plugs), if live parts are exposed after the landing test, it is judged CRITICAL. For large furniture, if possible, place the product straight and push it down once during the landing test.

This test is usually mainly used to simulate the free fall that the product may suffer during the transfer, to test the ability of the product to resist unexpected shocks. Usually the height of the fall is based on the weight of the product and the probability of falling as a reference specification, the falling surface should be a flat, solid rigid surface made of concrete or steel

Test intention

Confirm the resistance of the product to throwing, pressure, and dropping during transfer, transportation, storage, and use, including the cartoon box, and whether the product is packaged in a manner that is adequate and meets the requirements for the purpose of packaging the product or for the low level of robustness required to confirm safety requirements.
