NOTES:
A/ Perform drops from a quick-release hook or drop tester. Orient the test item so that, upon impact, a
line from the struck corner or edge to the centre of gravity of the case and contents is perpendicular
to the impact surface. For the floor or barrier receiving the impact, use five cm (two inch) thick
plywood backed by concrete. For materiel over 454 kg (1000 lb), use a concrete floor or barrier.
B/ With the longest dimension parallel to the floor, support the munition (shipping container) at the corner
of one end by a block 13 cm (five inches) in height, and at the other corner or edge of the same end
by a block 30 cm (12 inches) in height. Raise the opposite end of the munition to the specified height
at the lowest unsupported corner and allow it to fall freely.
C/ While in the normal transit position, subject the munition to the edgewise drop test as follows (if the
normal transit position is unknown, orient the case so the two longest dimensions are parallel to the
floor):
Edgewise drop test: Support one edge of the base of the munition on a sill 13-15 cm (five to six
inches) in height. Raise the opposite edge to the specified height and allow it to fall freely. Apply the
test once to each edge of the base of the munition (total of four drops).
D/ If desired, divide the 26 drops among no more than five test items.
