Product Reliability Test – How It Is Done Based on Military Standard (MIL-STD) 810 that was introduced in 1962 to provide a series of tests to simulate how material would hold up to environmental stress during its operational lifetime and revised several times over the years (most recently, Revision G in 2008), tests include: s Method 501.5: High Temperature - that may temporarily or permanently impair performance with change in material properties and dimensions. s Method 502.5: Low Temperature - with adverse effects on almost all basic materials, typically hardening or embrittlement, loss of lubrication and lubricant flow due to increased viscosity, binding of parts from different contraction of dissimilar materials, etc. s Method 506.5: Rain, i.e., test for water resistance and also used to determine Ingress Protection (IP) rating of the device. s Method 507.5: Humidity - to determine how well the device can hold up to warm and humid environmental condition. s Method 510.5: Sand and Dust - to determine how well a device is designed to prevent ingress of particle into the product. s Method 512.5: Immersion – to determine whether a device can withstand splashes of water, or being submerged o partially submerged in water. s s s s s s s s Johor Bahru Office: 45-2, Jalan Titiwangsa 2, Taman Tampoi Indah, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Takzim, Malaysia.

Method 516.6: Shock or “Drop” Test - to determine how well a device can put up with general physical abuse while in operation, such as nearby explosions. Method 500.5: Low Pressure Testing (altitude testing) – to determine if a material can withstand and/or operate in a low pressure environment and/or withstand rapid pressure changes. Method 503.5: Temperature Shock – to determine if a material can withstand sudden temperature changes (>10°C per minute) of the surrounding atmosphere without physical damage or deterioration in performance. Method 504.1: Contamination by Fluids – temporary exposure encountered during its life cycle, either occasionally or intermittently. Method 505.5: Solar Radiation (sunshine) – to evaluate material likely to be exposed to solar radiation during its life cycle in hot climates and when heating or actinic effects are concern. Method 508.6: Fungus – to determine fungal or microbial grow and how it may degrade/impact the use of the material. Method 509.5: Salt Fog Testing – to determine the effectiveness of protective coatings and finishes as well as the effect of salt deposits on the physical and electrical aspects of material.
