John I would recommend that you start with IEC60721 Series and use that to define your environment and from that derive your test regime. That standard allows you to define the severity of each aspect of the environment rather than use a single generic definition that may not be completely accurate for your particular situation. You can thus take into account whatever environmental protection the equipment may have (or not). Best regards

We normally use MIL-PRF-28800F but my manager has decided that this isn’t severe enough and has sent me off to look for something else. The only other standard I have familiarity with is NEBS GR-63 and I don’t think he would want to go that far! Thanks John Harrington Compliance Engineer Keithley Instruments, Inc.
