FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Transport Packages and Packaging Codes Sectional Comm ittee had been approved by Transport
Engineering Division co~nci],

This standard was first published in 1973. The second revision of this standard was undertaken to bring it in
line with the revised International Standard 1S0 2247:2000 ‘Packaging — Complete, filled transport packages
and unit loads —- Vibration tests at fixed low frequency’.

In this revision the following technical changes have been incorporated:

a) Operational frequency range is provided for methods of test along with a graph instead of 3,4 and 6 Hz
frequency;
b) Concept of unit loads;
c) Clauses on terminology and reference;
d) A sub-clause on instrumentation has been included under APPARATUS; and
e) Two types of methods of test to subject the test specimen to vibration.

The composition of the committee responsible for the preparation of this standard is given in Annex A.

6 TEST SPECIMEN PREPARATION
6.1 Preparation
Fill the test specimen with its intended contents and
ensure that the test specimen is closed normally, as if
ready for distribution.
6.2 Simulated or substitute contents may be used
provided that the dimensions and physical properties
of such contents are as close as possible to those of
the intended contents. The normal method of closure
shall still be used.
8.1.2 Place the test specimen in the predetermined
attitude on the vibration table (5.1), with the centre of
its lowest face or its centre of gravity placed as near
as practicable to the centre of the table; if the test
specimen is not secured to the table it may be fenced.
8.1,3 If a superimposed load is required, the loading
procedure shall comply with IS 7028 (Part 1).
8.1.4 Subject the test specimen to vibration according
to either Method A (8.2) or Method B (8.3).

8.1.1 Wherever possible, the test shall be carried out
in atmospheric conditions identical to those used for
conditioning, particularly where this is critical to the
materials or application of the test specimen. In other
circumstances, the test shall be carried out in
atmospheric conditions which approximate those used
for conditioning as closely as is practicable.
8.3 Method B
8.3.1 Operate the vibration table to give an acceleration
at a selected level such that the test specimen separates
from the table causing repetitive shocks.
