The test drop height varies with the weight of the packaged-product. Find the weight of the packaged-product in the
following chart to determine a drop height or an equivalent impact velocity or velocity change to be used for a substituted drop:

The test method requires the packaged-product to be dropped in several different package orientations.
A drop test must be performed in all required orientations where dropping the packaged-product is practical. (参看ASTM D 5276-98)
