MIL-STD-2105D

a.  No reaction of the explosive.

b.  No exudation containing explosive material.

c.  Explosives do not crack or separate in a manner which would create a hazardous condition.

d.  All safety devices remain in the safe condition. e.  The structural integrity of the item is not

compromised by corrosion, loosening of joints, or other physical

distortions.

5.1.3.3  Documentation.  Develop a data sheet documenting the test results (see paragraph 6.2).

5.1.4  12-meter (40-foot) drop test.  Perform this test in accordance with STANAG 4375.

5.1.4.1  Radiographic inspection.  Conduct a radiographic inspection in accordance with ASTM E-1742 to record the condition of the test item prior to and after the test.

5.1.4.2  Test item configuration.  The test item shall be dropped in the packaged configuration at specified orientations which typically represent the worst case situations derived from the Life Cycle Environmental Profile (LCEP) as defined in MIL- STD-810G. The sole exception is that for all munitions that will be exposed to the Naval flight deck environment during aircraft weapon system loading, the drop test shall be conducted in the unpackaged configuration.  The test item must be to the full production standard, although non-explosive sections of the item need only be geometrically (including weight and balance) and structurally representative of the production item.

5.1.4.3  Test surface.  The impact surface shall be a smooth steel plate, at least 3-inch (75 mm) thick.  It shall

be sufficiently large to receive the dropped munition (packaged

or unpackaged) and, if possible, to accommodate any secondary impact, for example, from the munition or packaged munitions toppling.  The impact surface (steel plate) Brinell hardness must be 200 or higher.  The steel plate shall be bonded to, and supported throughout, by a minimum of 2-feet (600 mm) of reinforced concrete of a minimum compressive strength of
