Rick, Try the IEC 60068 series. You'll need part 1 (IEC 60068-1) and an appropriate part 2. Warning! May cause drowsiness. Do not operate heavy machinery while reading.
IEC 60068-2-47 (1999-10) Environmental testing - Part 2-47: Test methods - Mounting of components, equipment and other articles for vibration, impact and similar dynamic tests IEC 60068-2-50 (1983-01) Environmental testing. Part 2: Tests. Tests Z/AFc: Combined cold/vibration (sinusoidal) tests for both heat-dissipating and non-heat-dissipating specimens IEC 60068-2-51 (1983-01) Environmental testing. Part 2: Tests. Tests Z/BFc: Combined dry heat/vibration (sinusoidal) tests for both heat-dissipating and non-heat-dissipating specimens IEC 60068-2-53 (1984-12) Environmental testing. Part 2: Tests. Guidance to Tests Z/AFc and Z/BFc: Combined temperature (cold and dry heat) and vibration (sinusoidal) tests For more information you might want to contact a company that performs HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Test) and/or HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screen). They should be able to advise you about industry standards and make recommendations regarding your products.
