George:
- As you know Mil-C-28809B was canceled on 4/19/95 without replacement.  The
environmental tests of 28809 are closely related to the tests described by
Mil-Std-810E.
- Mil-Std-810E (Environmental Test Methods & Engineering Guidelines) was (the
last I heard) being retained as a Test Method Standard pending action by ANSI
to identify alternative or replacement private sector specs/stds.  The
Mil-Std may be available from some normal (Government) sources if it has not
yet been canceled.
- If you are unable to obtain a copy of 810E and need an alternative private
sector Spec. then you might check with the EIA Standards Section
(http://www.eia.org/eng/catalog/catindex.htm) as they have a number of
standard methods listed (see EIA-186-7E or EIA-186-8E).
- After identifying a viable alternative Spec. you need to discuss SPI/Block
Change using the different specifications with your customers.
- Pose any additional questions direct to [log in to unmask]
