It\u2019s updated and managed by a group of civilian contributors and military members involved in evaluating current-day technology, usage applications, and trends of military systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to learn more about MIL-STD-810 and its role in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viablepower.com\/fr\/ruggedized-power-supply-capabilities\/\">ruggedized power supplies<\/a><\/strong> for military defense, aerospace, and naval sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"font-style: var(--h2_typography-font-style,normal); letter-spacing: var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing); color: var(--h2_typography-color); font-family: var(--h2_typography-font-family); font-size: var(--h2_typography-font-size); text-transform: uppercase; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);\">History of MIL-STD-810 <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On June 14<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 1962, The U.S. Department of Defense released MIL-STD-810, a standard for environmental engineering considerations and laboratory tests. MIL-STD-810 is widely accepted as the standard for compliance and ruggedization testing for computers and electronic equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first edition consisted of a single sentence that allowed modifications to tests based on environmental stresses. Over the next few decades, MIL-STD-810 went through several revisions, which evolved into today\u2019s series of standardizations. Each revision was given an alphanumeric designation that started with MIL-STD-810A and is now up to MIL-STD-810H as of September 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that MIL-STD-810 does not impose test or design specifications. Instead, it seeks to describe the real-world environmental tailoring process resulting in test methods and realistic material designs based upon material system performance requirements. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Part 1<\/strong>\u2014The first section discusses the tailored and disciplined approach needed to procure a system. The goal is to determine if a product can withstand the stresses of vibration, shock, and climatic environments when used during its service life.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also focuses on describing the tailoring process (detrimental effects environmental factors could have upon equipment during its service life) and applies it throughout the life cycle of the equipment so that it meets interoperability and user needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Part 2<\/strong>\u2014The second section provides guidance on environmental stress data, laboratory test methodologies, and tailoring information. It describes 28 different test methods that help the test engineer by listing the preferred procedures and laboratory test facilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the end-user needs to realize that laboratory testing results and actual service conditions can vary significantly. This is inherently due to the fact that real-world environmental stresses cannot be accurately or reliably reproduced in the lab.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Part 3<\/strong>\u2014The third section offers planning guidance for real-world climatic conditions that can occur in research, development, testing, and evaluation stages. Part 3 seeks to provide consideration for the entire life cycle throughout many different climatic regions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It contains several climatic data guides from various sources, such as AR 70-38, Research, Development, Test and Evaluation of Material for Extreme Climatic Conditions (1979), Environmental Factors and Standards for Atmospheric Obscurants, Climate, and Terrain (1987), and MIL-HDBK-310.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"--fontsize: 36; line-height: 1.2;\" data-fontsize=\"36\" data-lineheight=\"43.2px\"><b>Testing Requirements in MIL-STD-810 <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MIL-STD-810 <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viablepower.com\/fr\/services\/environmental-testing\/\">environmental test<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> methodology is intended to determine the environmental worthiness and durability of components, products, or systems. There are currently 28 categories of laboratory test methods and procedures that pertain to the application environment of the equipment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tests can be conducted in a natural environment, laboratory, or a combination thereof. Once the tests are completed, the data is examined and reported per program guidelines and according to material specifications. Each test receives a final test report and analysis of the results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common test methods include <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viablepower.com\/fr\/services\/vibration-testing\/\">vibration<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and ballistic shock. These tests seek to simulate the damaging effects of drops, shock, and jolts that can occur when out in the field or in transit. The tests can only be completed with a vibration table and shock machine in the lab.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viablepower.com\/fr\/services\/temperature-humidity-testing\/\">Temperature &amp; Humidity<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are two significant parts of MIL-STD-810 testing.

The 503.7 Temperature shock test is also essential because it looks at a fast transition time between high and low temperatures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In addition to temperature, humidity can also affect the performance of a power supply. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viablepower.com\/fr\/services\/mil-std-810-humidity-testing\/\">MIL-STD-810 Humidity &#8211; Method 507.6<\/a> helps test the performance of power supplies that may be stored or deployed in a warm environment with high humidity. It can also be used to provide an indication of potential problems associated with humidity.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many other types of tests as well, such as <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acoustic Noise<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corrosion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solar radiation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contamination<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a complete list of MIL-STD-810 Laboratory Test Methods, please scroll down at the end of this document.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Products that successfully complete the tests are then given a designation, such as MIL-STD-810G or MIL-STD-810H.
