o Purpose: To assess the strength and durability of the bag's handles when subjected
to sudden jerking motions.
o Test Standard: Star Bags Internal Test Method (Based on Industry Best Practices).
o Purpose: To assess the tensile strength and functionality of the backpack's zippers
under load.
o Test Standard: ISO 13936-1:2016 - Textiles - Seam tensile properties of fabrics
and made-up textile articles - Part 1: Determination of maximum force to seam
rupture using the grab method.
6. Test Procedure:
o The Lab Engineer randomly selects one bag from the lot for destructive testing.
The chosen bag should epitomize the overall quality and design of the entire lot.
o The bag is securely affixed to the universal testing machine, ensuring its natural
position during load application.
o The bag's main compartment is filled with weights to attain a predefined load
level, meticulously simulating maximum weight capacity.
o The load is gradually applied until reaching the specified level, meticulously
assessing the bag's performance under pressure.
o The bag's handles are subjected to sudden jerking motions to closely simulate
real-world usage scenarios.
o The Lab Engineer scrupulously assesses handle integrity and attachment points,
meticulously documenting any indications of damage or failure.
o The bag's shoulder straps are subjected to sudden pulling forces, thoroughly
evaluating their endurance and resistance to wear.
o The Lab Engineer diligently inspects the shoulder straps, meticulously recording
any signs of stretching, tearing, or damage.
o Material samples are meticulously extracted from the bag for the tensile tests.
o The samples are meticulously clamped in the universal testing machine, and force
is meticulously applied until material failure occurs.
o The Lab Engineer meticulously records the maximum force and elongation at
maximum force in alignment with ASTM D5034-09(2015).
o The zippers on the backpack's main compartment and additional pockets undergo
meticulous testing for tensile strength and functionality.
o Each zipper is securely affixed to the testing machine, meticulously applying
controlled force to assess resistance to pulling and sliding.
o The Lab Engineer meticulously inspects the bag after each test, scrutinizing for
any signs of damage, failure, or deformation.
o The test results, including load capacity, handle jerk test outcomes, shoulder jerk
test outcomes, tensile test results, zipper test results (if applicable), and any
observed defects, are meticulously documented in detail.
oIf the tested bag passes all destructive tests without significant defects or failure, it
is considered acceptable for use and representative of the entire lot.
o In the event of bag failure or excessive defects, the non-conformance handling
procedure is meticulously initiated, prompting further inspection, corrective
action, or rejection.
7. Documentation:
o The Lab Engineer meticulously creates and maintains comprehensive records of
the destructive testing process, encompassing test parameters, procedures, results,
and any non-conforming outcomes.
o All testing documents are securely stored, ensuring meticulous accessibility for
future reference, auditing, and quality assurance purposes.
8. Last Generated List:
o The "Last Generated List" is meticulously updated after each destructive testing,
encompassing essential details such as the PO number, destructive test date, lot
size, test results, and meticulously specific notes or observations pertaining to the
tested bag.
