French term or phrase: chute sur poinçon
La conception d’ensemble (notamment les calculs de dimensionnement des charpentes et mécanismes) est conforme aux règles X. Pour leur application, on considère que tous les éléments des chaînes cinématiques et tous les éléments tournants ou oscillants sont classés dans les mécanismes. Les appareils sont conçus pour recevoir des éléments mécaniques de fabrication de série choisis sur catalogue des fabricants.
La conception permet d’éviter :
- tout coincement sur leurs rails ;
- que la chute d’un conteneur de combustible neuf sur n’importe quelle partie du lorry soit assimilable à une chute sur poinçon : sont donc à éviter les pièces métalliques en saillie, les arêtes vives, etc.

disagree  Tony M: Your own ref. shows that this in fact refers to a quite different test. / Yes, but your ref. is the exact opposite of that, and wouldn't make technical sense here.

(be comparable to a) drop onto a pointed object


Explanation:
In the context, I read "soit assimable à" as "be comparable to" or "be equivalent to". The remainder of the text then makes sense, i.e. materials to be avoided, etc.
