Accu Drop 160 TEST CRITERIA For packaging containing liquid, each packaging does not leak. There can be no damage to the outer packaging likely to adversely affect safety during transport. Inner receptacles, inner packagings or articles must remain completely within the outer packaging and there must be no leakage of the filling substance from the inner packaging. Any discharge from a closure is slight and ceases immediately after impact with no further leakage. ( ) DROP ORIENTATIONS AND TEST RESULTS Sample #2: Flat on Bottom Sample #1: Flat on Top *Sample #3: Flat on Long Side PASS: No leakage or damage. PASS: No leakage. Caps punctured top EPS pad. PASS: No leakage or damage. *Sample #4: Flat on Short Side *Sample #5: Bottom Corner **Sample #2: Top Corner PASS: No leakage or damage. PASS: No leakage. Slight deformation at impact corner. *Side and corner drops were conducted to impact the manufacturer s joint. **Flat on bottom drop sample was also used for the top corner drop. PASS: No leakage. Slight deformation at impact corner.

A packaging passes the vibration test if there is no rupture or leakage from any of the packages. No test sample should show any deterioration which could adversely affect transportation safety or any distortion liable to reduce packaging strength. ( ) VIBRATION TEST SET-UP AND RESULTS Sample # Results Comments/Observations 1 PASS No leakage or damage. 2 PASS 3 PASS
