Information

ANSI/NEMA FL-1 standard
 Each sample is dropped 6 times using impact orientations that approximated cube. Samples must be
marked prior to the drop test in a manner that can assure that all 6 drop orientations are tested. Each sample
must be released on each orientation of the approximated cube. Samples should be in the “off” position
with batteries in place.
 Passing Criteria:
Dropped samples must not exhibit any cracks or breaks visible with normal vision. The product must
remain fully functional. Some reassembly is allowed provided that is done without any tool or replacement
components. Cosmetic defects such as scuffs, scratches, rubs, abrasion will not be considered reasons for
failure.
 Impact Resistance Rating:
Test samples must pass a drop test from a minimum of 1m in order for the impact resistance claim to be
made. Rating in excess of 1m shall be reported with values rounded down to the nearest whole meter.
