MIL-STD-810G - Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests

1) Overview of MIL-STD-810G

MIL-STD (Military Standards) is a military standard created by the US Department of Defense and established by the US Army Developmental Test Command. Usually this standard applies primarily to military equipment, but can also be applied to a variety of general commercial products.

2) MIL-STD-810G Summary

It consists of three parts: Part One explains the management, engineering, and technical roles in the environmental design and test customization process, Part Two shows the general/specific test methods to be applied accordingly, and Part Three explains the general guidelines. A realistic assessment for the research, development, testing and evaluation of munitions and materials used in various climatic zones.

Test Plan Tailoring
