Does MIL-STD-810 apply to my product?
Manufacturers of non-military products may also apply MIL-STD-810 as a recognized “industry standard” to demonstrate survivability and proper operation under harsh conditions. The most important consideration is the product’s operational environment. From there, MIL-STD-810 provides guidance to tailoring each test method for your application. Even if environmental testing is not specifically required for your product, MIL-STD-810 compliance can help differentiate you from your competitors.
Trust our MIL-STD-810 testing expertise and unique capabilities to satisfy the requirements for your product and its operating environment. We work within your needs to identify and carry out the right testing for your product. Contact us to learn more.
What is MIL-STD-810?
MIL-STD 810 is an environmental, military-focused compliance standard for electronics and equipment design, testing survivability against a variety of external conditions. MIL-STD-810H is the most recent revision of this standard and while it uses the same tests and methods as previous revisions, this version emphasizes the importance of test plan preparation, provides tailoring guidance for the wide spectrum of product applications, and suggests clearer direction when testing ‘material systems’ durability.
Tests performed under this standard ensure electronic equipment remains operational during and after exposure to the harsh environments typically experienced in military operations. Successful completion of MIL-STD-810 testing proves the durability of the equipment and users can trust it to function properly under virtually any scenario.
“This standard contains material acquisition program planning and engineering direction for considering the influences that environmental stresses have on material throughout all phases of its service life. Each of these groups is critical to the goal of successfully incorporating environmental considerations into materiel design, test, and evaluation.”
If you are designing an electronic product for military use, it is likely that MIL-STD-810 testing will be specified to qualify the design and production quality.
What goes into MIL-STD-810 Testing?
MIL-STD-810 testing simulates a wide range of hazardous environmental situations, such as vibration, shock, acceleration, humidity, low and high pressure, low and high temperature, and various other environmental conditions. What makes this standard unique are the tests specific to the hazards one can expect in a hostile, military environment.
