Apparatus and method for testing mechanical endurance of surface of optical disc, the optical disc of same kind as the tested optical disc

A method for testing whether an optical disc is acceptable, comprising:

• applying a plurality of abrasion wheels to the surface of the optical disc, the optical disc being supported by a rotating plate, the abrasion wheels rotating in a rotating direction of the rotating plate or in an opposite rotating direction of the rotating plate, and the abrasion wheels being applied with a load;
• maintaining the contact between the optical disc and the abrasion wheels until the optical disc rotates five turns;
• recording information on the optical disc having a scratch, the scratch being generated while the optical disc rotates and while the abrasion wheels apply a load on the optical disc;
• and
• determining whether the optical disc is acceptable by comparing a jitter value obtained from a signal of reproducing the information with a predetermined reference litter value.
