  OFFICE MEMO         ASSY/TEST: Salt Fog Test              Date:  2/5/97

We have been asked to conduct a Salt Fog Test on some assembled, functional
boards, and I have some questions.  First, I'm not sure that this is really
an appropriate test to run.  I've found method 509.3 in Mil Std 810E (July
89), but nothing else.  It sounds pretty tough to control.  Are people
actually conducting this test now, or are alternative assembly and chassis
level corrosion tests being specified?  What test labs are equipped to
perform them?

I would be grateful to learn from anyone who is doing this test now.
