Transportation Bounce Test System

Bounce testing simulates the constant loose cargo state during truck transport. 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.
 
The International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) developed a civilian package test procedure resembling the military test: 1A for products weighing less than **0 lb (*8 kg) and 1B for over **0 lb (*8 kg). Additional tests in subsequent procedures such as 1C, 1D, 2A and further combine the loose cargo basic test with atmospheric conditioning and other factors.
 
MIL-STD***0 and ISTA Procedures 1A and 1B offer package test procedures for packages subjected to repeated vibration (bouncing Testing) for a distance of up to **0 miles (**0 km), while unrestrained and repeatedly colliding with other cargo and the walls and floor of a four-sided compartment.
