MIL-STD-810E is an environmental spec which includes many different requirements. (Title is "Environmental Test Methods and Engineering Guidelines")
While some earlier versions of the standard had sections addressing EMC, this one (810E) does not. The section to which you refer (516.4) is strictly for mechanical shock tests in 810E. As for applicability to ITE, the government procuring agency is free to apply it to anything that it wishes, from Cray computers to the infamous toilet seats.

List-Post: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, January 08, 1997 12:07PM Dear EMC-PSTC Members, Who can shed some light on the MIL STD 810E and a so called "516.4 requirement"? What is it about, especially what does the 516.4 requirement mean? Are IT Products in the scope of this Military Standard? If yes, to which degree? Many Thanks!
