This test is usually used to simulate the free fall of unpacked/packaged products during handling, and investigate the ability of products to resist accidental impact. Generally, the drop height is based on the product weight and the possible drop probability as the reference standard. The drop surface should be a smooth and hard rigid surface made of concrete or steel (if there are special requirements, it should be determined by the product specifications or customer test specifications).
For different international specifications, even if the products are of the same weight, the drop height is also different. For handheld products (such as mobile phones, MP3, etc.), most drop heights range from 2500px to 3750px. For handheld products ≤ 2kg, IEC recommends that the drop height should be 2500px. For MIL, the drop height should be 3050px. For Intel handheld products (such as mobile phones), the drop height should be 3750px. The severity of the test depends on the drop height, drop times and drop direction.
