What is BS EN 60068-2-31 - Environmental testing for rough handling shocks about?

BS EN 60068-2-31 is a standard that covers environmental testing for rough handling shocks, ensuring the safety and durability of products and equipment. BS EN 60068-2-31 deals with a test procedure for simulating the effects of rough handling shocks, primarily in equipment-type specimens, the effects of knocks, jolts and falls that may be received during repair work or rough handling in operational use. BS EN 60068-2-31 testing should only be specified for equipment likely to receive such rough handling, for example, those of small to medium size and mass, and should only be applied to those faces and corners where there is a risk of such treatment being encountered. BS EN 60068-2-31 may be applicable to fragile unprotected equipment or irregular shaped items of equipment when they are in their transit case or in their handling frame or jig. BS EN 60068-2-31 is applied to the face of equipment that stands only on one face. Note 1: BS EN 60068-2-31 does not simulate the effects of impacts received during transportation as loosely constrained cargo. Note 2: BS EN 60068-2-31 does not simulate the effects of shock applied to installed equipment. Note 3: BS EN 60068-2-31 may not be applicable to fragile unprotected equipment of irregular shape which, when removed from the installation would be contained in a handling fram...
