Mil-Std-461E has several Test Methods related to EMP.

Test Methods CS115 & CS116 attempt to evaluate the response of cabling to an
EMP.

Test Method RS105 directly creates a "mini EMP" by placing the EUT within a
parallel plate transmission line and whacking the EUT with a 2nS risetime,
50kV/M pulse. (Caution; don't try this at home!)

{Don't overlook the Appendix A, which provides further insight and rationale
for the official requirements.)

The only difference that I am aware of is that MIL-STD-461E merges -461D and
462D into one document (list members, please correct me on this if I am in
error.)
If you are looking for HEMP, you can refer to MIL-STD-464. It has
unclassified requirements, but not test methods.
