Mechanical vibration and shock — Analytical methods of assessing shock resistance of mechanical systems — Information exchange between suppliers and users of analyses

Establishes the procedures for specifying the analytical methods, provides a protocol for conducting and documenting a shock analysis and identifies the requirements of the protocol. Applies to any product or human subject for which an analytical assessment of its shock resistance is required. The term "product" is used to designate an engineering artifact (equipment, component, machine, vehicle or structure). Neither the parameters characterizing the shock environment of concern nor acceptable levels of performance are associated with specific numerical values in this standard.
