MIL-STD-810
MIL-STD-810 is a testing standard created by the United States Department of Defense to ensure the durability and reliability of military equipment in various environmental conditions. The standard covers a wide range of environmental factors, including temperature, humidity, shock, vibration, and altitude, among others. It is essential for a product in development to meet MIL-STD-810 compliance to ensure that it can withstand harsh conditions and perform optimally in the field. Products that meet MIL-STD-810 compliance are considered to be of higher quality, more reliable, and more durable, providing customers with greater confidence in their performance in challenging environments.
