Test Procedure
- Pre-Test: Confirm laboratory environment meets required conditions (temperature 22 °C, humidity 55% RH). Inspect all 3 sample units for appearance integrity and verify that lighting function, mode switching, and charging operate normally before mounting.
- Sample Placement: Mount samples on the vibration testing machine platform in the designated orientation (振动摆放 — vibration placement setup).
- Vibration Execution: Run the vibration test machine in Random Mode for 1 hour across axes X, Y, and Z simultaneously. Maintain vibration frequency at 4 Hz, test speed (CMP) at 240 G, and amplitude at 25.4 mm throughout the test duration.
- In-Test Monitoring: Monitor the vibration control chart (振动控制图) continuously to confirm test parameters remain within specification.
- Post-Test Inspection: After 1 hour, remove samples and inspect: (a) appearance for any physical damage, (b) button switch responsiveness, (c) lighting brightness and mode switching under normal operation, and (d) charging function.
- Acceptance Criteria: Samples pass if appearance shows no failure, the illumination lighting function operates normally, button switches are responsive, and charging is normal after the vibration test.
Test Data & Results
| Check Item | Pre-Test Observation | Post-Test Observation | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Normal | No damage observed | Pass |
| Lighting Brightness | Normal | Normal illumination brightness after transport vibration (运输后照明亮度正常) | Pass |
| Mode Switching | Normal | Mode switching brightness and illumination normal after 1-hour vibration | Pass |
| Button Switch Responsiveness | Normal | Button switch sensitive and responsive after test | Pass |
| Charging Function | Normal | Charging normal after test (充电正常) | Pass |
Test Result Summary: After the 1-hour transport vibration test, all 3 samples exhibited responsive button switching, normal mode switching, and normal lighting brightness illumination. No failures were recorded in appearance or functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the ISTA-2A standard cover for this vibration test?
ISTA-2A (International Safe Transit Association Procedure 2A) is a transport simulation standard designed to evaluate whether packaged products can withstand the mechanical stresses encountered during distribution and shipping. For the FL1 flashlight, this included random vibration across three axes (X, Y, Z) to simulate real-world transit conditions such as truck transport, handling, and warehousing.
What test parameters were used and why do they matter?
The test ran in random mode for 1 hour at a vibration frequency of 4 Hz, with a test speed (CMP) of 240 G and an amplitude of 25.4 mm. These parameters simulate the combined mechanical stress a product experiences across its typical shipping journey. Running the test in all three axes (X, Y, Z) ensures that no orientation of the product is left unchecked.
What would cause a sample to fail this test?
A sample would be judged as failed if any of the following occurred after the vibration exposure: visible physical damage to the housing or components, unresponsive or stuck button switches, failure of the lighting function or inability to switch between brightness modes, or an inability to charge. All 3 FL1 samples cleared every one of these criteria.
Is this test relevant to end-user safety for a kids’ flashlight?
Yes. For a product designed for children, confirming that the flashlight survives transport without internal component damage is a baseline safety requirement. A unit that arrives with a damaged switch or compromised battery connection poses a reliability and safety risk. The ISTA-2A vibration test provides documented assurance that the FL1 reaches end users in full working order.
