Inclined Impact Test
Scope	To test the ability of a container or shipping unit or interior packing or both, to provide protection to the contents, when subjected to impacts. Required if unloading is conducted using sliding ramp.
Reference	ASTM D4332, ASTM D880
Test Procedure	The test specimens should be conditioned per standard WATER-GDC-T099. Place package on sled of test equipment so package will impact before sled. Release sled allowing package to impact test surface. Sled must be traveling for the packages with velocity ≥ 4.8km/hr (1.3 m/s) at impact. The sequence in which the faces and edges are subjected to impacts may be at the option of the operator and will depend on the objective of the tests. Continue the test until failure of the container or shipping unit occurs. Typical sequence of inclined impact test is each vertical surface for total of 4 impacts, Right (2), Left (4), Front (5) and Rear (6).One vertical edge, 2- 5, 2-6, 4-5 or 4-6. Choose most critical edge. Repeat for remaining package orientations.
Evaluation	After undergoing the inclined surface impact test, the packages may not be deformed and have pressure marks. Depending on the purpose of the test, failure is when some predetermined type of damage has occurred, that is, exposure or spillage of contents, or both.
Level of Acceptance / Success Criteria	There should not be any permanent deformations of cracks on test specimens and the packaging should not have considerable damage. The packages may not be deformed and have pressure marks. All test specimens should pass the test.
