Lack of sources in the "Applicability to Consumer Products" section

[edit]

The Applicability to Consumer Products section contains strong statements that are not supported by sources. In particular, it states that many manifacturers do not actually perform tests. The reference given at the end of the section, however, states only:

Note, however, that the MIL-STD-810G does not mandate standards or set minimum goals for the various tests; for the most part it simply describes how testing is to be conducted. This leaves considerable room for interpretation, and it is therefore important for manufacturers of rugged notebooks to provide detailed information on what tests were conducted, how exactly they were conducted, what the results were, and what those results actually mean. The claim that a product is "MIL-STD-810G tested" is not enough, and prospective customers should ask for more detail.

I suggest either adding more sources for supporting the stronger statement or editing the section --Cricecio (talk) 11:08, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Remove advertisements?

Systel Inc Extreme Industrial 1U rack mount Twin server passed the Mil STD 810F 514.5,516.5& 520.2 for Temp, Shock & Vibration

The Applicability to Consumer Products section seems to have been used as an advertising section, which seems inappropriate. Should it be removed? Ed (talk) 19:30, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it seems intro to the section sais it all - the claims made by consumer product manufacturers are not verifiable and there are so many these days they are no longer even notable. --Miikka Raninen (talk) 07:04, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Removed yet another product endorsement. The world is full of products claiming 'MIL-STD-810 compliance'. See the article why this is not verifiable or notable. Unless you have some really good reason why mentioning a certain product illustrates or enhances the subject matter of this article, please don't add any more of these:

Removed "Tone" tag due to lack of discussion

[edit]

Couldn't figure out what the "Tone" tag was complaining about, and whomever put it there didn't comment on the talk page. So I removed it. --John Nagle (talk) 19:05, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected a lot of the verbiage about what MIL-STD-810 actually is. There is too much smoke and sloppy talk about this in the commercial world, and companies are using it to mean all manner of things that it's not. I could have a MIL-STD-810 banana here on my desk, who cares? Altaphon (talk) 23:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Electromagnetic compatibility

[edit]

Just curious, but doesn't the MIL-STD-810 standard also have two other sections for communications and computing equipment, which address tolerances for operating with EMF interference present, and the survivability of the same equipment to EMP pulses? 75.192.161.86 (talk) 20:11, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, MIL-STD-810 does not deal with anything electromagnetic. Have a look at MIL-STD-461. --Miikka Raninen (talk) 07:04, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No list of test labs

[edit]

The list of some labs for performing 810 tests is a WP:LINKFARM. Wikipedia is not a commercial shopping list or a listing of qualified laboratories. See WP:EL, WP:SPAM, and WP:NOT#LINK for guidance. The list needs to go. Even when a company is in a list in Wikipedia, it needs to have proper citations to Wikipedia:Independent sources; links to corporate web pages are not Reliable Sources.

Certification to 810?

[edit]

In the section of “Applicability to ruggedized consumer products”, an editor has suggested that one company referenced 810 in a communication. I have removed that statement.

1. The claim that a company may have used part of MIL-STD-810 is not important and does not add to the content of this article. We all know that 810 is widely used by industry and government.

2. The claim is not referenced. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

3. MIL-STD-810 is Test Method Standard. It is neither a technical specification nor a purchasing document. It describes how to conduct some tests in general terms: it does not usually provide a sampling plan nor acceptance limits for the results of a test. It discusses test methods and does not impose design or test specifications. It does not imply “fitness for use”. Thus the claim that a company has used subsections of 810 as part of their own test plan is not close to specific and has no real meaning.

You cannot certify or conform with 810. Rlsheehan (talk) 21:26, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please use the Talk page for a discussion. You have not addressed the issues. For example, corporate advertising is not a Reliable Source. Rlsheehan (talk) 02:33, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The material on a possible use of 810 by Apple has been challenged for relevance, verifiability, and need. The editor has not responded to this talk page, tags on the edit, or a note oh the editor's talk page. I am deleting this material. Rlsheehan (talk) 01:27, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
