Objective To analyze ISO 8611—2011 detection technology, and study the influence of the dimension of block and bottom deck on the performance of the wood pallet. Methods Air-bag bending test, block impact test and bottom deck impact test were performed for the test pallets with different dimensions of pallets block and bottom deck based on ISO 8611—2011. Results In the air-bag bending test, the average deformations were 8. 36 mm and 9. 05 mm, respectively, and the average ultimate loads were 4840. 4 kg and 4739. 8 kg, respectively. In the block impact test, the average impact times were 2. 9 and 9. 3, respectively. In the bottom deck impact test, the average impact times were 5. 2 and 4. 5, respectively. Conclusion The experiments indicated that the middle block dimensions and the number of nails connecting the block with the deck and the nail arrangement had strong influences on the impact resistance of the pallet when the block was impacted.
