ASTM D999-08 (2023) is a standard test method used to evaluate the performance of shipping containers in a vibrating environment. The primary purpose of this method is to test the ability of containers, internal Encasements, and enclosures to protect against vibration during transportation. By simulating the vibration inputs that may be suffered during transportation, it is possible to evaluate the damage or absence that containers may suffer during actual transportation. The standard covers a variety of test methods, including, repeability Impact Testing, Single Container Resonance Testing, and Tray Load, Unit Load, or Vertical Stack Resonance Testing. These test methods can help determine Critical Frequency and optimization of container design to reduce damage and failure during transportation and ensure the safe delivery of products to their destination.
