IEC 60068-2-31 standard, commonly referred to as the IEC 60068 drop test, is indispensable. Specifically designed to simulate the mechanical stresses that products may encounter during shipping, installation, or routine operation, this test evaluates a product’s ability to withstand repeated drops and rough handling. It serves as a benchmark for assessing the resilience of packaging and internal components, providing crucial data on structural integrity and functional performance after impact.

In today's fast-paced global economy, products are often shipped across long distances and through various modes of transport. As a result, packaging plays a critical role in protecting products from damage during transit. However, even the most well-designed packaging can be subjected to sudden drops, impacts, and collisions, which could potentially compromise the integrity of the product inside.
