Drop Testing
Drop testing, per MIL-STD 202 Method 203, is used to determine the effects on component parts of random drops tested and repeated impact due to handling, shipping, and other field service conditions. This drop testing is an accelerated test designed to indicate structural and mechanical weaknesses of types not necessarily detected in shock and vibration tests. Package drop testing can help determine the survivability of a product’s packaging and help manufacturers identify potential warranty issues from poor packaging or improper handling instructions.
