What is BS EN 14149 - Impact test on packages by rotational drop about?
Package testing is performed to determine whether packaging materials withstand the typical stresses of shipping and transport processes. Impact test by rotational drop is a procedure used to evaluate how a package and its contents react to impacts such as free-falls, tumbles, and other types of handling during the shipping and distribution environment.
BS EN 14149 specifies methods for carrying out a rotational impact test on complete, filled transport packages or unit loads, by dropping. It can be performed either as a single test to investigate the effects of rotational impact or as part of a sequence of tests designed to measure the ability of a package or unit load to withstand a distribution system that includes a rotational impact hazard.
Who is BS EN 14149 - Impact test on packages by rotational drop for?
BS EN 14149 on impact test on packages by rotational drop is useful for:
- Goods packaging products manufacturers
- Food packaging industries
- The goods packaging and distribution industry
- Quality control professionals
- Testing bodies for testing packages
Why should you use BS EN 14149 - Impact test on packages by rotational drop?
An impact drop test is performed to investigate the effect of vertical impact or as part of a sequence of tests designed to assess a complete, filled transport product and package's ability to withstand different levels of impact encountered during the shipping and handling process.
BS EN 14149 describes a method of performing an impact drop test on a complete, filled transport package by dropping. BS EN 14149 provides you with the test procedures including face impact test, edge impact test, and corner impact test and describes how the test reports should be presented.
BS EN 14149 is helpful for the design and for the optimization of packaging since it allows choosing the right packaging for the product in order to resist the dangers of the distribution cycle.
