1. SCOPE
1.1 Purpose. Part 3 of this test method standard establishes uniform test methods for the electrical testing (digital)
to determine resistance to deleterious effects of natural elements and conditions surrounding military operations. For
the purpose of this standard, the term "devices" includes such items as monolithic, multichip, film and hybrid
microcircuits, microcircuit arrays, and the elements from which the circuits and arrays are formed. This standard is
intended to apply only to microelectronic devices.
1.2 Numbering system. The test methods are designated by numbers assigned in accordance with the following
system:
1.2.1 Classification of tests. The electrical test methods included in this part of a multipart test method standard
are numbered 4001 to 4007 inclusive.
1.2.2 Test method revisions. Revisions are numbered consecutively using a period to separate the test method
number and the revision number. For example, 4001.2 designates the second revision of test method 4001.
2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
2.1 General. The documents listed in this section are specified in sections 3, 4, and 5 of this standard. This
section does not include documents cited in other sections of this standard or recommended for additional
information or as examples. While every effort has been made to ensure the completeness of this list, document
users are cautioned that they must meet all specified requirements documents cited in sections 3, 4, and 5 of this
standard, whether or not they are listed.
