MIL-STD-810 is the quintessential document for everything related to environmental test, as it is referenced in the majority of all DoD contractual requirements. This course will provide a comprehensive introduction to the latest version of MIL-STD-810H and cover all three parts of the 1,000+ page document. The course is designed for Managers, Program Managers, IPT Leads, Test Engineers, Design Engineers, Qualification Test Procedure/Plan Writers, anyone who works with customer requirements, and Test Laboratory Personnel responsible for generating quotes for customers.

Join Dave Sgro, expert on MIL-STD-810, in Downers Grove, Illinois (or virtually) for two courses that will help you learn the right way to understand MIL-STD-810, requirements, and planning a solid qualification campaign.

How to Perform Product Qualification

Course also available virtually.

This interactive two-day class will cover how to effectively design, test, and implement an effective qualification for your company. This class will focus heavily on environmental testing with some discussions on EMI. It is highly encouraged to attend this training in-person due to the group activities.

Qualification is often overlooked by many as an expensive entity that requires the checkmark in the box to complete a Statement of Work. Engineers who are assigned to perform product qualification typically don’t understand requirements, test standards, testing methodology, and how to clearly and effectively communicate with outside test labs. If you are expecting a 3rd party test lab to develop a test plan, you are wrong. Qualification is an essential portion within the development process of a new or existing product.

Prerequisite: This class follows up the comprehensive introduction to MIL-STD-810. If you have not taken that class, a basic understanding of MIL-STD-810 is required.
