[en] The test series described in this paper has shown that the proposed dynamic crush test or the alternate static crush test result in significantly greater packaging deformation than occurs when the regulatory 9 meter drop test is performed on lightweight, low density, Type B packagings. Furthermore, when the test results from the current program are compared with test results from an accident simulating test of a truck/trailer system carrying such lightweight packagings, the proposed dynamic crush test or the alternate static crush test both appear to provide a crush environment similar to that which can be expected in transport accidents, whereas the 9 meter drop test does not appear to simulate this environment. The energy absorbed by the packaging under the proposed dynamic crush test is independent of the packaging mass and can be significantly greater than the energy the packaging must absorb during a 9 meter drop test. The deformations produced in the 310 kN static crush test and the proposed dynamic crush test are very similar, and are generally greater than those experienced in the 9 meter drop test. The outer drum lid of the generic designs opened under these conditions, at times exposing the inner container. Such damage could lead to increased heating of the inner container during the following thermal test prescribed by regulations
