Sacks - Drop test - Part 2: Sacks made from thermoplastic flexible film (ISO 7965-2:1993)
Specifies a method of vertical impact testing, the testing procedure and how the results of tests should be presented. It may be performed either as a single test to investigate the effects of vertical impact or as a part of a sequence of tests designed to measure the ability of a sack to withstand a distribution system that includes a vertical impact hazard. The principle of the method is raising the filled sack above a rigid surface and releasing to strike this surface after a free fall, the atmospheric conditions, the height of the drop and the position of the package being set in advance.
Säcke - Stoßprüfung im freien Fall - Teil 2: Säcke aus thermoplastischen Kunststoff-Folien (ISO 7965-2:1993)
Dieser Teil von ISO 7965 beschreibt die Stoßprüfung im freien Fall an befüllten Säcken aus Kunststoff-Folie. Die Prüfung darf entweder als Einzelprüfung durchgeführt werden, um den Einfluß eines vertikalen Stoßes nach freiem Fall zu untersuchen der als Teil einer Prüffolge zur Ermittlung der Widerstandsfähigkeit eines Sackes im Rahmen eines bestimmten Verteilungssystems, das Stoßbeanspruchungen einschließt. Der vorliegende Teil von ISO 7965 beschreibt das Prüfverfahren und die empfohlene Darstellung der Prüfergebnisse.

La présente partie de l'ISO 7965 prescrit une méthode d'essai de résistance au choc vertical de sacs pleins faits d'un film thermoplastique flexible lâchés en chute libre. Un tel essai peut être effectué en tant qu'essai isolé destiné à étudier les effets du choc vertical, ou bien en tant que partie d'une série d'essais destinés à mesurer la capacité d'un sac à résister aux conditions d'un système de distribution comprenant un risque de choc vertical. La présente partie de l'ISO 7965 prescrit le mode opératoire et la façon dont il convient de présenter les résultats des essais. Elle est basée sur l'ISO 22481), mais a spécifiquement trait aux sacs faits d'un film thermoplastique flexible.

Overview
EN ISO 7965-2:1996 - Sacks - Drop test - Part 2: Sacks made from thermoplastic flexible film (ISO 7965-2:1993) specifies a standardized method for vertical impact testing (sacks drop test) of filled sacks made from thermoplastic flexible film. The standard defines the drop-test principle - raising a filled sack and releasing it to strike a rigid surface after free fall - and details test procedures, reporting and acceptance criteria. It can be used as a single-impact investigation or as part of a sequence simulating distribution systems that include vertical impact hazards.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and principle: Vertical impact testing of filled thermoplastic-film sacks by free-fall drop onto a rigid surface.
- Apparatus requirements:
- Lifting arrangement that does not damage the sack.
- Means to hold the sack prior to release and a release mechanism that does not obstruct the fall.
- Impact surface: one-piece, mass at least 50× the heaviest test sack, flat (surface variation ≤ 2 mm), rigid (≤ 0.1 mm deformation under 10 kg/100 mm²), and large enough to ensure the entire sack falls on it.
- Sampling and conditioning: Sampling per ISO 7023 and conditioning of filled, closed sacks per ISO 2233 (designated atmospheres).
- Drop modes: Flat (face/back), side (left/right), and butt (bottom) drops with defined starting heights and increments:
- Flat/side progressive start: 0.85 m, increment 0.15 m.
- Butt progressive start: 0.30 m, increment 0.05 m.
- Test methods:
- Progressive drop-height method (incrementing height until breakage).
- Constant drop-height method (selected height producing ~10 drops to rupture).
- Limit-height method (calculate lowest height causing first-drop failure).
- Failure definition: A sack is considered broken when spillage of contents occurs; slight discharge (e.g., through closures) is not necessarily a failure if no further leakage follows.
- Reporting: Full details of sack construction, filling mass, drop heights, number of drops to breakage, method of holding, location/type of failures, and other test parameters. Annex C provides a report format.
Applications and users
- Practical uses: qualification and quality control of flexible-film sacks for agricultural, chemical, mineral, food and industrial commodities subjected to handling and transport impacts.
- Who uses it: packaging engineers, quality assurance teams, manufacturers of thermoplastic film sacks, testing laboratories, shippers and logistics professionals assessing packaging performance under vertical impact hazards.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 7965-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 122, Packaging, Subcommittee SC 2, Sacks.
