Do a search for hitch under Standards and Papers.
RE: Trailer Hitch Testing
I searched here a bit asnd found tasty sounding references to VSB 1, but could not find VSB No.1 itself

The 10000 pound test used to shake the entire engineering building. I think we only tested two directions here in the US. European tests had an additonal direction (forward I believe)
We used to twist hitches into pretzels if the engineer was careless in his choice of tube sizes. But its amazing how much the hitch could move and still be acceptable.
Memories ;)
