This standard specifies test procedures to simulate the effects of shock, knocking, rattling and dropping, primarily used on instrumented specimens, to which they may be subjected during rough handling during repair work or equipment use. The procedure does not simulate shock effects during transport, such as loosely secured cargo. If it is necessary to evaluate the effects of carrying loose loads, it is recommended to apply test Ee: Recoil. Additionally, this procedure does not simulate shock effects on installed equipment. If these effects need to be assessed, see Test Ea: Impact. The test should only be specified for equipment likely to be subjected to rough handling, e.g. equipment of small or medium size and mass, where the hazards of such handling are not present. It is best to apply it only to existing surfaces or corners. In general, equipment that is frequently handled or serviced (e.g. field equipment and spare parts) can be considered at risk, but is an integral part of a permanent installation. Constructed equipment is usually not considered to be at risk and therefore does not need to be tested. The test is not applicable to fragile, unprotected equipment of irregular shape (e.g. aircraft nose radar) that is placed in a handling frame or jig once removed from the facility. There may not be.
