The test method described in this part of IEC 62137 applies to solder joints between terminals
of surface mounting devices (SMDs) and land patterns on printed wiring boards (PWBs).
This test is intended to evaluate the strength of the solder joints of larger sized multi-terminal
components and other components in devices (e.g. handheld mobile devices) in the event
that the device is dropped. The properties of the solder joints (e.g. solder alloy, substrate,
mounted device or design, etc.) are evaluated to assist in improving the strength of the solder
joints.
