ISO 21920-2 Mechanical Shock Testing: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Services

The ISO 21920-2 standard is a crucial guideline for mechanical shock testing, ensuring the safety and reliability of products subjected to sudden and extreme forces. This standard is part of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) family, which develops and publishes international standards.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

Mechanical shock testing is regulated by various national and international laws, including:

  • European Unions Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)

  • United States OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.216)

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards

  • Industry-specific regulations, such as those in aerospace and automotive

    • International and National Standards

    The following international and national standards apply to ISO 21920-2 Mechanical Shock Testing:

  • ISO 21920-2:2018 - Mechanical shock testing

  • IEC 60068-2-75:2008 - Environmental testing - Part 2-075: Tests for sustained vibration components of oscillatory type

  • ASTM F1500.1M:2020 - Standard Practice for Verification and Calibration of Mechanical Shock Test Equipment

  • EN ISO 17605:2019 - Mechanical vibration Evaluation of the dynamic response of freight containers

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and publishing international standards, including ISO 21920-2. Other standard development organizations involved in mechanical shock testing include:

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

    • Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in technology and industry needs. This ensures that the standards remain relevant and effective in ensuring product safety and reliability.

    Industry-Specific Requirements

    Different industries have varying requirements for mechanical shock testing, including:

  • Aerospace: AS9100 certification

  • Automotive: IATF 16949 certification

  • Industrial equipment: ISO 9001 certification

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with ISO 21920-2 is mandatory in various industries and countries. Failure to comply can result in product recalls, financial losses, and damage to reputation.

    Why This Test Is Needed and Required

    Mechanical shock testing is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of products subjected to sudden and extreme forces. Without this test, products may not meet regulatory requirements, leading to:

  • Product failures and recalls

  • Financial losses due to repair or replacement costs

  • Damage to reputation and brand image

    • The following steps are involved in conducting ISO 21920-2 Mechanical Shock Testing:

    1. Sample Preparation: The product under test is prepared according to the standards requirements.

    2. Testing Equipment: Specialized testing equipment, such as shock test machines, accelerometers, and data acquisition systems, are used to conduct the test.

    3. Testing Environment: The testing environment must meet specific temperature, humidity, and pressure conditions.

    4. Measurement and Analysis: Measurement data is collected using accelerometers and analyzed to determine the products response to mechanical shock.

    The following information is typically included in a test report:

  • Test setup and equipment used

  • Testing parameters and conditions

  • Measured values and calculated results

  • Interpretation of results

  • Conclusion and recommendations for improvement

    • Performing ISO 21920-2 Mechanical Shock Testing provides numerous benefits, including:

  • Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Identifying potential risks and taking corrective actions to prevent product failures.

  • Quality Assurance and Compliance: Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.

  • Competitive Advantages: Demonstrating a commitment to quality and safety, enhancing brand reputation and customer trust.

    • Eurolab offers a comprehensive range of laboratory testing services, including ISO 21920-2 Mechanical Shock Testing. Our expertise and experience in this field ensure accurate and reliable results.
