Standard reference

IEC 60068-2-27 (Test Ea) defines the mechanical shock test for environmental testing of electrotechnical products. A defined pulse — commonly half-sine, and also final-peak sawtooth or trapezoidal — is applied with set peak acceleration, duration and number of shocks per axis, to reveal weaknesses and confirm robustness.
