TEST SEQUENCE FOR PROCEDURE 2A k 2A Second Vibration Test Bloc5 Shock testing is now complete. Go to the Second Vibration Test Block. 6 Select a bottom face corner to replace the corner required in Step 4 Sequence 1 to begin the test. 7 Identify the edges of the packaged-product that meet the Step 4 Sequence 2 and 3 requirements. 8 Select any 6 faces to replace the faces required in Step 4 Sequence 5 through 10. 9 Using the corner, edges and faces from Steps 6 through 8 go to Step 3 and proceed. 10 Shock testing is now complete. Go to the Second Vibration Test Block. FIXED DISPLACEMENT Step Action 1 Determine if testing is going to be Fixed Displacement or Random Vibration. IF Vibration testing is going to be … THEN go to … Fixed Displacement Step 2. Random the Random Vibration Test Block. 2 Put the packaged-product on the vibration table so that face 3 rests on the platform. 3 Start the vibration system to vibrate at 1 inch (25 mm) total displacement at the machine’s lowest frequency. 4 Maintain a fixed displacement at 1 inch (25 mm) and slowly increase the frequency (speed) of the vibration table until the packaged-product begins to momentarily leave the surface of the platform. 5 Hold the vibration frequency to that determined in Step 4. 6 Can a metal shim be intermittently moved between the bottom of the longest dimension of the packagedproduct and the surface of the platform? . If Yes, hold that frequency and then continue to next Step. . If No, then increase the frequency until the requirement of Step 6 is met and hold that vibration frequency. 7 Determine the test duration in minutes using the formula indicated in the Before You Begin Block and the CPM or Hz frequency identified in Step 6. 8 Begin vibration duration. 9 Are you using a vertical linear motion on the vibration system? . If Yes, then go to Step 13. . If No, then continue with the next Step. 10 Stop the vibration test half way through the vibration duration and perform the appropriate action as indicated in the table below: IF a single 90o horizontal rotation is… THEN perform a horizontal rotation of … Possible 90o as the specimen rests on the platform. Not practical because of the size of the 180o as the specimen rests on the platform. packaged-product or the stability of the packaged-product. 11 Start the vibration system and continue the vibration test at the frequency used in Step 8. Continued ISTA 2A 2001 - Page 12 of 18 TEST SEQUENCE FOR PROCEDURE 2A 2A 12 Can a metal shim be intermittently moved between the bottom of the longest dimension of the packagedproduct and the surface of the platform? . If Yes, then continue to next Step. . If No, then slowly increase the frequency until the requirement of Step 12 is met. 13 Complete vibration duration. 14 Inspection of the package-product for visible damage is allowed, provided inspection does not alter, in any way, the current condition of the package or the condition or position of the product(s). 

15 All testing is now complete. Go to the Test Report Block. RANDOM Step Action 1 Put the packaged-product on the vibration table so that face 3 rests on the platform. 2 Start the vibration system to produce the random vibration spectrum indicated in the Before You Begin Block. 3 Stop the vibration system after the completion of 30 minutes. Invert the packaged-product so that face 1 (top) rests on the platform. 4 Begin the vibration duration for this orientation. 5 Stop the vibration system after the completion of 10 minutes. Place the packaged-product so that either face 2 or 4 rests on the platform. 6 Begin the vibration duration for this orientation. 7 Stop the vibration system after the completion of 10 minutes. Place the packaged-product so that either face 5 or 6 rests on the platform. 8 Begin the vibration duration for this orientation. 9 Stop the vibration testing at the end of 10 minutes. 10 Inspection of the packaged-product for visible damage is allowed, provided inspection does not alter, in any way, the current condition of the package or the condition or position of the product(s). 11 All testing is now complete.
