For our medical equipment we have used ASTM D4169-96 & D4728-95 and most
recently ISTA Procedure 1 & 1A. The ISTA appears to be the more universally
accepted standard. 
Good Luck!

Subject: Vibration and Shock Testing



This may not be the correct group to ask environmental questions, but I
thought it was a good place to start considering so many in the group wear
different hats or have past experience. In an effort to understand
principles of shock and vibration compliance, I have searched companies
like HP, Compaq and CISCO only to find if vibration and shock are called
out it is not even the same within the same company.

The task is to define the correct vibration and shock testing for
electronic equipment, considering operational, non-operational and
transportation will have different levels.

Are there accepted existing standard like CISPR 22 and IEC 60950 for
vibration, shock or other environmental parameters?

Is there a similar group to this one that deals with environmental testing
and compliance?

Thank you in advance for time on this matter.
