ASTM D4168-95(2021) PDF

Scope: 1.1 These test methods determine the shock-absorbing characteristics of foam-in-place packaging materials. 1.2 Test Method A uses a free-fall package drop test apparatus. 1.3 Test Method B uses a shock-test apparatus. 1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
