Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard IS0 2249 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122,
Packaging.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IS0 22491972), which has
been technically revised as follows:
- a new clause on “Package preparation” has been added.
Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time
and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its
latest edition, unless otherwise stated.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD IS0 2248-1985 (E)
Packaging - Complete, filled transport packages -
Vertical impact test by dropping
1 Scope and field of application
This International Standard specifies a method for carrying out
a vertical impact fest on a complete, filled transport package by
dropping. It may be performed either as a single test to in-
vestigate the effects of vertical impact or as part of a sequence
of tests designed to measure the ability of a package to with-
stand a distribution system that includes a vertical impact
hazard.

Conditioning for testing.
3 Principle
Raising of the test package above a rigid plane surface and
releasing it to strike this surface (the “impact surface”) after a
free fall 1). The atmospheric conditions, the height of drop and.
the attitude of the package are predetermined.
4 Apparatus
4.1 Lifting arrangement, which will not damage the test
package during either lifting or release.
4.2 Means of holding the test package prior to release in
its predetermined attitude. 2)
4.3 Release mechanism, to release the test package in
such a way that its fall is not obstructed by any part of the ap-
paratus before striking the impact surface (4.4).
4.4 Impact surface, horizontal and flat, massive enough to
be immovable and rigid enough to be non-deformable under
test conditions.
NOTE - In normal circumstances, the impact surface provided shall
be
- integral with a mass at least 50 times that of the heaviest
package to be tested;
- flat, such that no two points on its surface differ in level by
more than 2 mm;
- rigid, such that it will not be deformed by more than 0.1 mm
when an area of 100 mm2 is loaded statically with 10 kg anywhere
on the surface;
- sufficiently large to ensure that the test package falls entirely
upon the surface.
In addition, the apparatus shall meet the requirements and
tolerances of clause 7.
5 Package preparation
The test package shall normally be filled with its intended con-
tents. However, simulated or dummy contents may be used,
on condition that the dimensions and physical properties of
such contents shall be as close as possible to those of the in-
tended contents.
Ensure that the test package .is closed normally, as if ready for
distribution. If simulated or dummy contents are used, ensure
that the normal method of closure is still employed.
8 Conditioning
The package shall be conditioned in accordance with one of the
conditions described in IS0 2233.
1) In some circumstances, a completely free fall may not be possible; in such circumstances, the impact velocity shall be within 1 % of that which is
achieved by a free fall.
2) The difference in behaviour of a sack, for example, suspended from the top or supported below in an and drop, could be significant. In such
instances, the method of holding the package before dropping shall be described in the test report.

IS0 2248-1885 (El
7 Procedure 8 Test report
The test report shall include the following particulars:
a) reference to this International Standard;
b) number of replicate packages tested;
c) full description of the package, including dimensions,
structural and material specifications of the package and its
fittings, cushioning, blocking, closure or reinforcing ar-
rangements;
d) description of contents - if simulated or dummy con-
tents were used, full details shall be given;
e) gross mass of package and mass of contents, in
kilograms;
f) relative humidity, temperature and time of conditioning, tem-
perature and relative humidity of test area at time of test;
whether these values comply with the requirements of IS0 2233;
g) the attitude in which the package was tested, stated in
one of the ways given in the annex;
h) drop height, in millimetres;
j) type of apparatus;
k) any deviations from the test method described in this
International Standard;
m) a record of the result, with any observations which
may assist in correct interpretation;
r-r) date of the test;
p) signature of tester.
Whenever possible the test shall be carried out in the same
atmospheric conditions as used for conditioning, where this is
critical to the materials or application of the package. In other
circumstances, the test shall be carried out in atmospheric con-
ditions which are as near as practicable to those used for con-
ditioning.
7.1 Lift the test package and hold it in the predetermined
attitude (see annex) at a height within * 2 % of the predeter-
mined drop height as defined by the distance between the
lowest point on the package at the time of release and the
nearest point on the impact surface (4.4).
7.2 Release the test package from its predetermined attitude
within the following tolerances:
- for face or edge drops: 2O maximum angle between the
impacting face, or edge, and the horizontal surface;
- for edge or corner drops: the angle’between a pre-
scribed surface of the package and the horizontal surface
+ EP or + 10 % of the angle, whichever is the greater.
The velocity at impact shall be within 5 1 % of that which
would be achieved by a free fall.

pressed in one of the following ways, using the method of iden-
tification given in IS0 2266.
