Dear Design, Test, and Evaluation Professionals:

The Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST) has issued The History and Rationale of MIL-STD-810, a comprehensive work by Herbert W. Egbert. The 140-page document captures the thought process behind the evolution of the Military Standard, Test Method Standard for Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Test. The author, a Fellow of IEST, was heavily involved in the development of MIL-STD-810D and E, and served as Tri-Service administrator of MIL-STD-810F.

Available exclusively from IEST, this document serves as a record not only of the progression of the standard, but also of advances in related technology.

Members of the design, test, and evaluation and product reliability technical communities will find:
A development history of most test methods in this area
Rationale for many of the procedural changes that have occurred
Additional tailoring guidance for many test procedures
A good source for questions related to using MIL-STD-810
Insight into the future direction of the standard
Publication of The History and Rationale of MIL-STD-810 is particularly timely as a Tri-Service Working Group undertakes the development of a new edition of the Military Standard, MIL-STD-810G. The History provides a practical reference for those wishing to submit comments and recommended changes. Comments pertaining to the development of MIL-STD-810G should be submitted via e-mail by October 5, 2005, to Engineering.Standards@wpafb.af.mil. MIL-STD-810F can be obtained at http://assist.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch.

A related IEST Recommended Practice, IEST-RP-DTE026.1: Using MIL-STD-810F, 519 Gunfire, includes guidelines for component and structure testing for the gunfire environment, and is structured to supplement guidelines provided in MIL-STD-810F.

The History and Rationale of MIL-STD-810 and IEST-RP-DTE026.1 can be ordered online at www.iest.org or by e-mailing IEST at publicationsales@iest.org. For questions, contact IEST at (847) 255-1561.
