CF, SD, Micro SD etc Associations comply with the association standards. The Physical damages to cards are common, But the stored data is never lost. Companies have recovered the data even from the broken (physically) cards.

I don't know whether or not the vulnerability is caused by improper manufacturer implementation of the flash.

This technology is proven and it conforms to several JEDEC standards.

Are there any EMC immunity standards suggested for shipping? We all know that all suitcases and carry-on bags are inspected by X-ray machines. Who can test this type of X-ray immunity? Are there any test standards for this type of immunity testing? In addition, irradiation (electron beams, etc.) is used on our mail to kill biological matter like Anthrax. Could this do anything to electronics or stored information (tape, disk, CMOS, PROM, ROM, etc.)? Are there any immunity tests appropriate for this? Are there any papers on what types of devices might be impacted or susceptible to X-rays, electron beams, or other environmental stresses that could be experienced in shipping? Also, what radio frequencies and field strength levels are experienced by bags and boxes shipped by air? An airport is riddled with many RF noise-makers like security radios, cell phone repeaters, control tower radios and radars. I begin to wonder if the European Union test level of 3V/m is really adequate. We test 10V/m to cover the field strengths that can be experienced even in computer room floors, but I am wondering if there are any studies out on what the real RF environment is during shipping.
