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

Test Program Documentation

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 […]
