Bounce Testing

Bounce testing simulates the constant agitation experienced by packaging during truck transport. Environment Associates can duplicate transportation conditions by vibrating a package or palletized loads up to 500 lbs.

Often times, containers carrying military and civilian hardware (such as: medical supplies, electronics, weaponry, communication devices) travel for extended periods of time and must be transported off-road. All of these items must maintain functionality upon arrival at their destinations.


MIL-STD-810 and ISTA Procedures 1A and 1B offer package test procedures for packages subjected to repeated vibration (bouncing Testing) for a distance of up to 150 miles (240 km), while unrestrained and repeatedly colliding with other cargo and the walls and floor of a four-sided compartment.
