A drop test system for consumer electronics is used to check whether a device, its internal components, and its packaging can survive real handling, shipping, and accidental drop conditions.
For electronics, the goal is not only to see whether the outer shell breaks.

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.
