MIL-STD-810D.013772.PDF

MIL-STD-810D has been revised to require more careful attention to environments

throughout the development process.

A course of action for determining and

assessing the environments to which an item will be exposed during its service

life has been added to section 4, General Requirements. The additional General

Requirements aid in preparation for design and preparation for test. Document-

ation requirements for the design and testing procese have also been added to

section 4.

The bulk of the standard remains devoted to test methods. Each individual

method has been revised to encourage more accurate determination of the

test procedure; Section II includes step-by-step test procedures. In some

methods, net only the test values, but alsc the sequence of steps is

tailorable.

The result cf this revision will be that this standard cannot be called out cr

applied as a fixed, relatively simple routine.

Instead, an environmental

engineering specialist will have to choose and alter the test procedures to

suit a particular combination or sequence of environmental conditions for a

specific equipment application.

The methods c~ this standard are not intended to satisfy all safety compliance
