Drop tests are tests in which the strength of an object is determined when it is dropped under standard conditions or when a certain weight is dropped from a certain height. These tests are designed to determine the structural integrity of a product.
What is tested by drop tests may be the dropped object or the surface or object on which an object is dropped. It generally involves examining an object deposited on a second object or surface from a predefined height.
If the object dropped from the height is the tested product, its ability to withstand a certain physical effect is measured by dropping it from a certain height onto a standard hard surface, such as cement. Such drop tests are widely used to ensure the safety of portable hazards such as chemical containers.
However, if the falling surface is to be tested, its ability to withstand a certain impact force is measured by dropping a standard amount of weight and mass over a certain height. Such drop tests are commonly used, for example, to ensure the effectiveness of fall protection systems and to identify surfaces that may pose a fall hazard.
Drop tests are frequently used by manufacturers to demonstrate the effectiveness of the product's fall protection in terms of job safety. For example, safety nets are used to reduce drop-offs to prove that they can withstand the weight of standard objects (such as a punching bag) falling from a certain height. In this example, the drop test is designed to determine the effect when an employee falls into the network.
The following are a few standards based on drop tests carried out by the competent authorities:
TS 6718 EN 27965-1 Packaging - Bags - Drop test - Part 1: Paper bags
TS EN ISO 7965-2 Bags - Drop test - Part 2: Bags made of thermoplastic film
TS EN ISO 6272 Paints and varnishes - Rapid deformation (impact resistance) tests
The application is received, the contract and then the product, vehicle and vehicles for which, what kind of service is determined exactly.
The necessary laboratory environment is prepared and the products, tools and instruments requested by the organization are tested by experts with the reference of the existing standards and measurements are made.
The data obtained as a result of meticulously completed tests, measurements and analyzes are evaluated and accredited approved reports are submitted by expert engineers.
