QB/T 4116-2023 is the Chinese light industry drum (tumble) test for travel cases and bags.
Luggage is thrown, dropped and knocked about in baggage handling, and the drum test reproduces that abuse in the laboratory: the loaded case or bag is placed inside a hexagonal rotating drum fitted with guide plates and baffles, and as the drum turns it tumbles and strikes the walls and obstacles.
After a set number of revolutions the sample is checked for structural damage and for broken or detached handles, wheels, locks, zips and trolley handles.
The standard covers the principle, the drum tester and its dimensions (Annex A), test conditions, loading of the sample according to case size or bag volume, the test procedure and the test report. It replaces QB/T 4116-2010 and took effect on 1 November 2023.

3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
4 Principle
The sample is placed in the drum cavity of the drum tester. As the drum rotates, the sample tumbles freely and strikes the drum walls and the obstacles, which subjects it to impact and vibration. After a set number of revolutions at a set rotational speed, the overall quality of the sample is inspected.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Case and bag drum tester
The tester shall include the following components:
a) metal drum: the cavity is a regular hexagonal prism, and guide plates, baffles and other obstacles are fitted on four of its inner faces, so that the sample receives impacts of different severity as it tumbles; the structure, dimensions and materials shall comply with Annex A;
b) guard rail: keeps the sample in the test position while it tumbles;
c) control device: allows the rotation mode, rotational speed and number of revolutions to be set and the zero point to be adjusted;
d) recording device: with automatic recording and memory functions.
5.2 Steel tape measure
Accuracy 1 mm.
