Electromagnetic Immunity and Susceptibility Testing
There are numerous standards for evaluating electromagnetic immunity and susceptibility. This testing is performed to determine if a product can function as specified when exposed to electrical, magnetic, and radio frequency, emissions and disturbances. MIL-STD-461 The most prevalent standard for developmental stage electromagnetic compatibility evaluation of military and aerospace products is MIL-STD-461. This standard is […]
MIL-STD-810 Environmental Laboratory Tests
MIL-STD-810 Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests is a Department of Defense Test Method Standard containing test methods that replicate environmental effects on equipment. This testing is primarily intended for Developmental Test and Evaluation to verify a product’s ability to meet design specifications and customer requirements. Test Tailoring MIL-STD-810 emphasizes the importance of the test […]
Test Program Documentation for Product Evaluation
Properly developed test program documentation is critical for effective environmental and EMI/EMC developmental test and evaluation. In many cases however, this essential element is deficient or lacking all together. This can lead to an incomplete or inaccurate analysis of a product and lead to costly product recalls, redesigns, and retesting. Life Cycle Environmental Profile There […]
