2-Meter Drop-Proof Phone Requests: Turn the Slogan into Acceptance Criteria

Drop-proof is too broad to serve as a procurement specification. A 2-meter request should define what conditions and outcomes the supplier's evidence actually supports.

Replace the absolute wording

Ask for the tested model, enclosure, case, impact surface, orientations and number of impacts. Record the functional checks and damage observations used to determine the outcome. Avoid presenting resistance as immunity to every accident.

Add handling requirements

Try the holster, pocket and normal one-handed tasks with the deployed accessories. Record accidental button presses and difficult grip changes. These observations help assess carrying fit but do not establish a new drop height.

Choose based on documented evidence

Current X5 text describes reinforced rugged construction but does not establish a specific 2-meter result. Require supporting records before adding that number to its claims. If the requirement is mandatory, select a documented matching proposal. Preserve the test scope and service arrangement beside the acceptance record so users understand what was evaluated and how damaged devices are handled.

Review the current Phonemax X5 specification for the model being compared.
