About this file
This document is an Attachment (A1) from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing detailing a Free Fall Drop Test procedure for currency Cash-Pak packages. The test specifies a comprehensive drop testing protocol involving multiple package orientations and heights, including drops from three feet onto flat faces, sides, edges, and corners, as well as drops onto a pallet from three and eight feet.
The test results criteria require that packages cannot sustain more than one 1-inch tear or two 1/2-inch tears, and package seals must remain intact. Acceptable performance is defined as a success rate of 75% or higher, with a desired success rate of 90% or greater. The testing apparatus must provide an unobstructed fall, accurate height control, non-damaging lifting methods, an instantaneous release mechanism, and a rigid impact surface made of concrete, steel, or stone capable of absorbing shock without displacement.

BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING
Free Fall Drop Test
Apparatus. Any suitable apparatus or method may be used that conforms to the following requirements:
1) Permits the package to be placed in a position prior to release that will assure free unobstructed fall to impact the package at the orientation and in the direction required.
2) Permits accurate and convenient control of the height of the drop.
3) Utilizes lifting devices or methods that will not damage the package.
4) Provides an instantaneous release mechanism.
5) Provides a rigid and level surface with a solid mass of concrete, steel, or stone sufficient to absorb all shock without displacement.
Procedure.
1) Raise one currency Cash-Pak package to three feet. Release package and allow the package to drop freely onto one flat face and onto one side and one edge (3 separate package drops of the same package until all conditions are met).
2) Raise the same package as in step 1. Release package and allow the package to drop without obstruction onto two corners, one on each end of the package. (2 separate package drops of the same package until all conditions are met)
3) Raise the same package three feet above a pallet. Release package onto a corner edge of the pallet. (1 drop)
4) Raise package to eight feet and allow the package to drop on the pallet. (1 drop)
Results.
The packages shall not sustain a tear of more than one (1) inch in length or two or more tears of one-half inch or more when subjected to the above tests. The seals of the packages shall remain intact. A success rate equal to or greater than seventy-five (75) percent is acceptable. A success rate of less than seventy-five (75) percent is unacceptable. A success rate of ninety (90) percent or greater of the packages tested is desired.
