MIL-STD-810H Environmental Testing

MIL-STD-810H is the U.S. Department of Defense standard for checking whether equipment holds up in the environmental conditions it will meet during its service life. Laboratory test methods simulate altitude, temperature extremes, humidity, vibration, shock and immersion, and each test is tailored to the product's real use profile. The standard is applied well beyond defence, across aerospace, UAV, marine, automotive and industrial products, as the benchmark for ruggedness and reliability.

​

EWVTA performs in-house MIL-STD-810H testing:

​

• Method 500.6 Low Pressure (Altitude) <11.6 kPa

• Method 501.7 High Temperature up to +170 °C

• Method 502.7 Low Temperature down to −70 °C

• Method 503.7 Temperature Shock

• Method 507.6 Humidity

• Method 512.6 Immersion

• Method 514.8 Vibration 5–3000 Hz / <50g

• Method 516.8 Shock <250 g

Tailored testing, not a checkbox

MIL-STD-810H is not a pass/fail certificate. Each method is tailored to the environments your product will see over its life: storage, transport, operation and mission profile. "MIL-STD-810H tested" means little without the test levels behind it. We help you define those levels and document them in a test plan, so your results stand up to customer and procurement review.

 

Who needs MIL-STD-810H testing

Defence and dual-use equipment suppliers, UAV and drone manufacturers, and aerospace subsystem makers. It is also widely used for rugged electronics, marine and vehicle-mounted equipment, and for any product sold with a ruggedness claim.

 

What we need from you

• Product description: dimensions, mass, mounting, operating modes, and whether it must operate during the test.

• Requirements: the customer specification or the methods and procedures required. If you have neither, we help define them.

• Size limits: climatic chamber 1300 × 1100 × 1000 mm, vibration table 500 kg payload, 1200 × 1200 mm slip table

 

What you receive

• Tailored test plan 

• Test report per method, with profiles, tolerances and control data

• Functional check results before, during and after testing, as agreed

• Photos and data logs

Lead time

Test plan within 7 days, testing typically starts within 3 weeks.
