MIL-STD-810H is a Department of Defense standard that contains materiel acquisition program planning and engineering direction for considering the influences that environmental stresses have on materiel throughout all phases of its service life.

Version H represents the eighth version of this military test standard.

MIL-STD-810H does not impose design or test specifications. It does describes the environmental tailoring process that results in realistic materiel designs and test methods based on materiel system performance requirements.

The important thing to remember about MIL-STD-810H is that it emphasizes tailoring an equipment’s environmental design and test limits to the conditions that it will experience throughout its service life, and establishing chamber test methods that replicate the effects of environments on the equipment rather than imitating the environments themselves.

MIL-STD-810H has 28 different test methods. However, most products do not have to be tested to all 28 test methods. The type of product and end use of the product most often determines the test plan. Some of the test methods are general and others are very specific.

Testing to MIL-810-STDH can be mandatory if the end user is the military. It can also be mandatory if the product is a component that can eventually be used in a military product. In these cases, testing is mandatory

Whether the testing is mandatory or voluntary, working with a MIL-STD-810-H testing facility provides a number of benefits, such as:

• A thorough evaluation of the performance of a product or material is completed. Manufacturers can identify the environmental stresses that will be experienced during the life cycle. This can present opportunities for product enhancements and improvements before mass production starts. Identifying deficiencies, defects and shortcomings early in the design process can save considerable time and money.

• There could be a contractual requirement that the product meets the requirements. By working with a lab, the manufacturer can show compliance with the contract.
• MIL-810 is a foundation for environmental testing. The specifications provide guidance that can be further enhanced as needed. Manufacturers can use the testing to determine stress sequences, test levels and durations that are actually encountered in the field.

MIL-STD-810H Training, Military Standard 810H Testing Training is a 3-day training course that focuses on the purpose of MIL-STD-810H tests, the test environment and equipment, and the methodology required to perform each test.

If a product is MIL-STD-810H certified or MIL-STD-810H-compliant, that product is compliant with certain requirements and standardization objectives set forth by the DoD.

According to the DoD, the purpose of MIL-STD-810H military standard is to ensure the interoperability and commonality of products and equipment used in military applications.

Three days of MIL-STD-810H training, Military Standard 810H Testing Training with our expert instructors offers a unique opportunity to learn about all MIL-STD-810H required tests.

MIL-STD-810, officially entitled “Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests,” is a military standard that outlines the testing and design requirements of equipment used by the military to verify the equipment’s ability to sustain environmental stress incidents throughout its life cycle.

Some of the test methods and procedures that a MIL-STD-810-certified product may undergo include but are not limited to mechanical shock, vibration, temperature, low pressure (altitude), humidity, fungus, salt fog, and explosive atmosphere.

Testing and certifying equipment to these and other harsh conditions lets military contractors know that the products they’re purchasing are durable, reliable, sustainable, and fit for a solution that’s being sold to the DoD for use in extreme environments.
