How do you ensure that your products will withstand the harshest environments? Whether it’s extreme temperatures, rapid altitude changes, corrosive salt fog, vibration or shock. MIL-STD-810 environmental testing standards provide the framework to test and verify the durability of products in aerospace and defense industries.
At Delserro Engineering Solutions (DES), we specialize in providing a full range of environmental testing services in line with MIL-STD-810 standards. Below, we’ve outlined the key MIL-STD-810 testing procedures so you can dive deeper into the specific methods that apply to your projects.
Overview of MIL-STD-810 Specification Testing Methods
Each test in the MIL-STD-810 specification focuses on specific environmental challenges. Here’s a quick overview of the MIL-STD-810 specification tests we perform, along with the corresponding method:

| Temperature Shock Testing | Assesses product resilience when exposed to rapid changes in temperature. | Method 503 | MIL-STD-810 Temperature Shock Testing |
| Solar (Sunshine) Radiation Testing | Measures the effects of solar heating and UV exposure on materials and components. | Method 505 | MIL-STD-810 Solar (Sunshine) Radiation Testing |
| Humidity Testing | Evaluates product performance in high-humidity environments. | Method 507 | MIL-STD-810 Humidity Testing |
| Salt Fog Testing | Tests for corrosion resistance by simulating exposure to a marine environment. | Method 509 | MIL-STD-810 Salt Fog Testing |
| Acceleration Testing | Assesses a product’s ability to withstand acceleration forces and inertia loads. | Method 513 | MIL-STD-810 Acceleration Testing |
| Vibration Testing | Tests for a product’s durability when exposed to severe vibrations. | Method 514 | MIL-STD-810 Vibration Testing Overview |
| Shock Testing | Evaluates if products can withstand shocks encountered in handling, transportation, and service environments | Method 516 | MIL-STD-810 Shock Testing Overview |
| Combined Environments Testing | Evaluates the combined effects of altitude, temperature, vibration, and humidity to reflect real-world conditions. | Method 520 | MIL-STD-810 Combined Environments Testing |
| Pyroshock Testing | Simulates the shock effects caused by pyrotechnic devices, commonly used in missile and rocket applications. | Method 517 | MIL-STD-810 Pyroshock Testing |
