Section II of Packing Instruction of 965, 966, 968 and 969 require a 1.2m drop test. Do the shipper have to drop all the boxes or can it be done on a sampling basis? (29 Oct 10)
A.
Please refer to DGR 6.3.3 Drop Test and to Table 6.3.A. If it is a drum, six test samples must be used. If it is a box, five test samples must be used. Follow the procedures explained in DGR 6.3.3 and check whether the test satisfies the target requirement spelled out in the Packing Instructions.
