Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com ..-. --- ---- MIL-SI’U-UIUU 19 July 1983 FOREWORD 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 environmental stresses that an equipment will encounter during its service life. Guidance for accelerated or aggravated testing during the design process is included in some caaes. Each test method has been divided into two sections: Section I providea guidance for choosing and tailoring a particular 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 testing requirements. Safety compliance testing may require tests not covered herein.
