SCOPE
This test method is intended to determine the collapsing strength of luggage trolley handles when loaded in compression and therefore relates to their safety in use. The method is applicable to all luggage trolley handles of the locking type.

A trolley handle on an item of luggage fully extended and locked, is gradually loaded in the direction of its axis by a compression testing machine until failure occurs. The test can also be carried out in a non-destructive manner by terminating it when a specified maximum loading has been achieved.
