What is BS EN 22248 - Vertical impact test on packages by dropping about?
Package testing is performed to determine whether packaging materials withstand the typical stresses of shipping and transport processes. Raising the test package above a rigid plane surface and releasing it to strike this surface (the “impact surface”) after a free fall. The atmospheric conditions, the height of the drop and the attitude of the package need to be predetermined.
BS EN 22248 specifies a method for carrying out a vertical impact test on a complete, filled transport package by dropping. It may be performed either as a single test to investigate the effects of vertical impact or as part of a sequence of tests designed to measure the ability of a package to withstand a distribution system that includes a vertical impact hazard.

Why should you use BS EN 22248 - Vertical impact test on packages by dropping?
A vertical impact drop test is performed to investigate the effect of vertical impact or as part of a sequence of tests designed to assess the ability of a complete, filled transport package to withstand a distribution system that includes a vertical impact hazard.
BS EN 22248 describes a method of performing a vertical drop impact test on a complete, filled transport package by dropping. BS EN 22248 provides you with the test procedures and how the test reports should be presented.
BS EN 22248 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.
