本国际标准规定了对在储存、运输和搬运过程中可能暴露于倾倒危险的完整、充满的运输包装进行倾倒试验的方法。该测试可用于评估包装在倾倒时的强度或对其内容物的保护方面的性能。它可以作为调查倾倒影响的单一测试进行，也可以作为一系列测试的模式进行，这些测试旨在测量包装承受包括倾倒危险的分配系统的能力。 该测试与ISO 2244、ISO 2248和ISO 2876中所述的测试互补，可用于调查与基础尺寸相关的高包装的性能。它也适用于高度与底部尺寸相比较小，但为了节省储存/运输空间，可在侧面储存或运输的包装（见图1和图2）。建议对最长边与最短边之比为3: 1或更大。

This International Standard specifies a method for carrying out a toppling test on a complete, filled transport package which may be exposed to the danger of toppling during storage, transport and handling. The test may be used to assess the performance of a package in terms of its strength or the protection that it offers to its contents when it is subject to toppling. lt may be performed either as a Single test to investigate the effects of toppling or as patt of a sequence of tests designed to measure the ability of the package to withstand a distribution System that includes a toppling hazard. The test, which is complementary to the tests described in ISO 2244, ISO 2248 and ISO 2876, may be used to investigate the Performance of packages which are tall in relation to their base dimensions. lt is also applicable to packages the height of which is small by comparison with base dimensions but which may be stored or transported resting on a side face in Order to conserve storage/transport space (sec figures 1 and 2). The test is recommended for packages where the ratio of the longest to the shortest sides is of the Order of 3 : 1 or greater.
