Tip Over Integrity Testing

Written by Dr. Bhargav Raval |  Updated: September 24, 2025

Tip testing enables the user to assess the stability and integrity of a specific load during transit. When flaws are discovered, the test also provides recommendations for improving the shipping container’s design.

During delivery, product and package damage might result in high replacement costs. A strict distribution strategy can also lead to a drop in revenue, a loss of client loyalty, and persistent delays and interruptions. With the right testing and certification, many of these expenditures can be considerably decreased or eliminated.

To reduce hazards, package testing will guarantee packing integrity during shipping. The benefits of correctly doing tip-over integrity compliance testing include the:

  • Shortened time from product to market
  • Assurance in the product launch
  • reduced product loss and damage
  • cost-effective distribution
  • raised client contentment and expanded market share

Tip-over Testing for Compliance Processes

The product is set up for testing with its intended shipment orientation on the ground. The item is then tipped in one of the possibly unstable directions at a 22-degree tip angle from its upright position.

The box must be permitted to fall to the ground if it continues to tip and does so before the angle reaches 22 degrees. When the angle exceeds 22 degrees, according to Method F of ASTM D6179: Rough Handling of Crates, Cases, and Unitized Loads, the object should be put back upright if it does not fall on its own. In contrast, Procedure G specifies that the test object is gradually tilted until it falls fully freely.

It is advisable to tilt this product in all possible unstable directions. This test is regarded as a shock test per the Amazon SIOC standard.

The following details are included in the report that is created once the tip-over integrity test is finished. after-test condition of the test item(s)

  • The test’s date, time, and the engineer’s name
  • An explanation of the test’s instrumentation
  • A summary of the information
  • A description of the test procedures, including the drop’s angle and height.
  • Case, crate, or unitized load dimensions

Types of drop testing.

  • Free Fall Bridge Impact Drop
  • Turning Corner
  • Edge Rotational
  • Flat Rotational
