3-3-5-4 If Tilt Indicator has triggered or is missing
The purpose of the tilt indicator label is to alert people handling a
product that it is sensitive to tipping and it must remain upright at
all times. It is basically an active "Up Arrow" that changes color if
the package is tipped
89 degrees or more from horizontal.
These labels can be false activated if tipped less than 89
degrees, and shocked or vibrated at the same time. This event
does occur, but is considered uncommon. If a package is
received with an activated tilt indicator label, there is high
degree of certainty it tipped 89 degrees or more from horizontal
during shipment.
An activated tilt indicator label does not indicate if the package
was simply “Tipped” (laid down with no impact shock) or “Tipped
Over” (free fall, with an impact shock). Using both shock
indicator labels and tilt indicator labels will help identify if a Tip
Over impact shock occurred.
