Fixture
Half of a seismic result is how the sample was held.
- 01Sample built to the production drawing, with 300 kg of ballast in five trays.
- 02Four accelerometers fitted; natural frequency and damping measured by white-noise sweep, 1–35 Hz.
- 03Synthetic earthquake wave applied in X and Y at the intensity 8 level, then at the intensity 9 level.
- 04Sweep repeated after each level and compared against the pre-test values.

Third-party test report
Load, from the same lab bench
The cabinets were separately load-tested and dimension-checked in a third-party inspection report: outline dimensions, cooling provision, cable routing, door fit, lock and hinge operation, screw protrusion, mechanical connections, salt-mist exposure, surface finish and static load.
Static load: the enclosure was loaded to 1500 kg on reinforced-frame models and showed no cracking and no permanent deformation.
Ratings are model-specific. 1000 kg static load is the standard rating; 1500 kg applies to reinforced-frame models only. Check the drawing for the model you order.
Scope
What this report covers — and what it does not.
Covers
- Structural seismic assessment of one IT cabinet, model TR-61220, ballasted to 300 kg.
- The horizontal X and Y directions, at the input levels for intensity 8 and intensity 9 under YD 5083-2005.
- Natural frequency and damping before and after each level.
Does not cover
- Vertical (Z) direction seismic assessment — the report records it as not assessed.
- Cabinet contents, cable management or live equipment during a quake.
- Facility-level seismic design: an equipment test is not a certification of a building or a data hall.
Ask us for
- The full report as a PDF, so your structural engineer can verify it with the issuing laboratory.
- The static-load inspection report for the model you are specifying.
