Hereby, quality assured testing and documentation can substantially contribute to the demonstration of package design compliance with the regulations. Nowadays, a drop test campaign within the approval process of packages for radioactive materials can be a very complex and extensive project including various test and measurement techniques. On this basis of procedures and documents the experimental tests of packages and containers are performed with quality proofed results and a high reliability. A complete traceability and direct transferability of package design test results can give particular importance to the type approval procedure.

In recent years, various designs of impact limiters have been tested by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing within specific component testing and particularly with regard to type B package design approval procedures. The paper focuses on the experimental realisation of impact limiter tests and presents implemented measurement techniques to determine the amount of deformation and to explain the impact behaviour by means of photogrammetric metrology and three-dimensional fringe projection method, high speed motion analysis and adjusted deceleration measurements.
