This test simulates real-life usage conditions and evaluates how well the chain links hold under high tension. The zipper is mounted in a testing machine that gradually increases the load until the chain breaks. The results determine whether the zipper meets local (DSTU) and international standards of strength and whether it can withstand the loads expected during actual use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"\u0422\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0442\u043a\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u0431\u043b\u0438\u0441\u043a\u0430\u0432\u043a\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0440\u0438\u0432.
