MIL-STD-810H Durability

MIL-STD-810H is the US DoD environmental test methodology standard used by laptop manufacturers to validate device durability and reliability under 29 environmental stress conditions. Tests include altitude (15,000 ft low-pressure), vibration (simulated transport), humidity (95% RH cycling), blowing sand and dust, shock drops (26 drops from 76 cm in 6 orientations), temperature extremes (-20°C to +60°C), and solar radiation. Business and rugged laptops prominently carrying MIL-STD-810H certification include Lenovo ThinkPad, HP EliteBook/ProBook, Dell Latitude, Microsoft Surface Pro, and Panasonic Toughbook.
