Standards Definitions

MIL-STD 188-125
This standard establishes minimum performance and testing requirements for high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) hardening of fixed and transportable ground based facilities which perform critical, time-urgent C4ISR missions (Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance).

MIL-STD 202
This standard establishes uniform methods for testing electronic and electrical component parts, including basic environmental tests to determine resistance to deleterious effects of natural elements and conditions surrounding military operations, and physical and electrical tests. For the purpose of this standard, the term "component parts" includes such items as capacitors, resistors, switches, relays, transformers, inductors, and others. This standard is intended to apply only to small component parts, weighing up to 300 pounds or having a root mean square test voltage up to 50,000 volts unless otherwise specifically invoked.

MIL-STD 461
This standard covers the requirements and test limits for the measurement and determination of the electromagnetic interference characteristics (emission and susceptibility) of electronic, electrical and electromechanical equipment.

MIL-STD 464
This standard establishes electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) interface requirements and verification criteria for airborne, sea, space, and ground systems, including associated ordnance.

MIL-STD 810
This standard establishes uniform methods for environmental tests for determining the resistance of aerospace and ground equipment to the deleterious effects of natural and induced environments peculiar to military operations.

RTCA-DO160F
It defines standard environmental test conditions (categories) and applicable test procedures for airborne equipment.

IEEE/ANSI C62.41
This guide describes the surge voltage, surge current, and temporary overvoltage (TOV) environments in low-voltage [up to 1000 V root mean square (rms)] ac power circuits.

IEC Standards
Standards set by the International Electrotechnical Commission cover all electrical, electronic and related technologies
