This part is Part 11 of GB/T 4857. 1 Scope This part of GB/T 4857 specifies the main performance requirements, test procedures and information of test report for test apparatus used to carry out horizontal impact testing (horizontal or inclined plane test and pendulum test) on transport packages or unit loads. This part is applicable to assess the performance of transport packages and unit loads in terms of the withstand strength or the protection that they offer to their contents when subjected to horizontal impact tests. It may be performed either as a single test or as part of a sequence of tests. 2 Normative References The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of GB/T 4857. For dated references, subsequent amendments (excluding corrections), or revisions, of any of these publications do not apply to this part. However, parties to agreements based on this part are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. GB/T 4857.1 Packaging — Complete, Filled Transport Packages — Identification of Parts When Testing GB/T 4857.2 Packaging — Transport Packages — Temperature and Humidity Conditioning GB/T 4857.17 Packaging — Transport Packages — General Principles for the Compilation of Performance Test Schedules GB/T 4857.18 Packaging — Transport Packages — Quantitative Data for the Compilation of Performance Test Schedules 3 Principle Applying a horizontal velocity to the test specimen and bringing it to a halt by impact with a vertical impact surface. The atmospheric conditions, the impact velocity and the attitude of the test specimen are predetermined. Particular conditions of impact may be simulated by placing appropriately profiled inserts between the impact surface and the impacting face or edge of the test specimen.
