MIL-STD-810FdateDRAFTFOREWORDThis test method standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense (DoD).Although prepared specifically for DoD applications, this standard may be tailored for commercial applications aswell. MIL-STD-810F is a significant revision of MIL-STD-810E. Much of the standard is rewritten completely toprovide clearer direction. The primary emphases are still the same -- tailoring a materiel item's environmental designand test limits to the conditions that the specific materiel will experience throughout its service life, and establishinglaboratory test methods that replicate the effects of environments on materiel rather than trying to reproduce theenvironments themselves. However, the "F" revision has been expanded significantly up front to explain how toimplement the environmental tailoring process throughout the materiel acquisition cycle.This revision recognizes that the environmental design and test tailoring process has expanded to involve a widerange of managerial and technical interests. Accordingly, this revision orients environmental design and testdirection toward three basic types of users who have distinctly different, although closely associated, interests:program managers who, among other responsibilities, ensure proposed concepts and systems are valid and functional inintended operational environments; environmental engineering specialists (EES), who enter the acquisition process earlyto assist combat and materiel developer tailoring efforts by preparing life cycle environmental profiles and draftingtailored design criteria and test programs, and the design, test, and evaluation community, whose analysts, engineers, andfacility operators use tailored designs and tests to meet user needs.The most visible difference in the "F" revision is that the overall document is in two parts.Part One describes management, engineering, and technical roles in the environmental design and test tailoringprocess. It focuses on the process of tailoring materiel design and test criteria to the specific environmentalconditions a materiel item is likely to encounter during its service life. New appendices support the succinctlypresented text of Part One. Appendix A contains complete descriptions of environmental engineering tasks. Thesetasks, along with management information in Appendix B and EES guidance in Appendix C, will help to ensure theenvironmental design and test tailoring process is implemented and documented according to the disciplined, butflexible approach to materiel acquisition called for in Department of Defense (DoD) 5000-series documents(DoDD 5000.1). Terms used in this standard relating to the materiel acquisition process are limited to terms used inthe DoD 5000-series documents; to avoid confusion and promote simplicity, service-specific terms/processes are notused.Part Two contains environmental laboratory test methods to be applied according to the general and specific testtailoring guidelines described in Part One. It is important to emphasize that these methods are not to be called out inblanket fashion nor applied as unalterable routines, but are to be selected and tailored to generate the most relevanttest data possible.To support the tailoring process described in Part One, each test method in Part Two contains some environmentaldata and references, and identifies tailoring opportunities for the particular method. Some methods afford a widelatitude for tailoring; some can be tailored up to established limits, and some have relatively few tailoring options.Whenever possible, each method contains background rationale to help determine the appropriate level of tailoring.Each test method supports the test engineer and test facility operator by describing preferred laboratory test facilitiesand methodologies. Any specific tailoring information and values contained in these test methods should besupplanted by more up-to-date or program-specific information when available.When applied properly, the environmental management and engineering processes described in this standard can beof enormous value in generating confidence in the environmental worthiness and overall durability of materielsystem design. However, it is important to recognize that there are limitations inherent in laboratory testing thatmake it imperative to use proper caution and engineering judgment when extrapolating these laboratory results toresults that may be obtained under actual service conditions. In many cases, real-world environmental stresses(singularly or in combination) cannot be duplicated practically or reliably in test laboratories. Therefore, usersSUPERSEDES PAGE PART ONE-II OF MIL-STD-810F.Part One-ii

DoD 5000-series documents call for component technology to be demonstrated in relevantenvironments to reduce risk on components and subsystems which have been demonstrated only in laboratoryenvironments (DoDI 5000.2).The US Department of Defense would like to thank the following individuals for their contributions toward thedevelopment and publication of MIL-STD-810F:Anderson, Andy -United DefenseMerritt, Ron -US Navy, Naval Air Warfare CenterBair, Jim -US Air Force, Wright-Patterson AFBMoriceau, Jacques -LRBA, FranceBell, Dwayne -US Air Force, Eglin AFBMoss, Ron -Ordnance Board, United KingdomCaruso, Hank -G's and DegreesSullivan, Jamie -US Army, Redstone Technical TestCenterConnon, Skip -US Army, Aberdeen Test CenterTanner, Steve -US Navy, Naval Air Warfare CenterEgbert, Herb -US Army Developmental TestCommandWalton, Scott -US Army, Aberdeen Test CenterGalloway, Judy -US Army, Aberdeen Test CenterWeaver, Earl -US Air Force, Wright-Patterson AFBHenry, Connie -US Air Force, Wright-Patterson AFBWilliamson, Roger -US Army Test and EvaluationCommandMacMartin, Dave -National Defence Headquarters,CanadaAlso, a special thank you to Herb Egbert, Chairman of the MIL-STD-810 revision committee for his leadership,dedication, and perseverance in revising this document.This standard is intended to be a '\"living document" that will be updated as new concepts, technologies, andmethodologies evolve.
