MIL-STD-810G: Test Method Standard for Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests
MIL-STD 810G was developed for Department of Defense (DoD) applications and is often used for commercial products. The standard describes environmental management and engineering processes that can be of enormous value to generate confidence in the environmental worthiness and overall durability of a system design. The current version of the standard is MIL-STD 810G which incorporates the previous version (F) with corrections, changes and additions.
The purpose of this standard is to tailor a product’s “environmental design and test limits to the conditions that it will experience throughout its service life, and establishing laboratory test methods that replicate the effects of environments on material, rather than trying to reproduce the environments themselves.”
The MIL-STD 810G encompasses a series of tests approved by the department and agencies of the DoD. These tests address a range of environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, vibration and acoustic noise. Advanced Test Equipment Rentals has equipment for testing almost every test method found in MIL-STD 810G.

Purpose
Use high temperature tests to obtain data to help evaluate effects of high temperature conditions on materiel safety, integrity, and performance.
Application
Use this method to evaluate materiel likely to be deployed in areas where temperatures (ambient or induced) are higher than standard ambient.
Limitations
Limit use of this method to evaluating the effects of relatively
