Product Reliability Tests

1. Vibration, Shock & Drop Test

Purpose

    – To simulate road, air, sea transportation and other vibration loads
        including repetitive / non-repetitive shocks / bumps
    – To search for vibration resonance
    – To screen out defective / poor quality components / products
    – To verify package ruggedness / fragility due to mishandling, physical
        impact, shipment
    – To compare robustness of packaging design, packaging materials
