World’s Most Strictly Tested US Military-Grade Laptop Durability
ASUS MIL-STD-810H Testing
For greater reliability and durability, from 2023 onwards all ASUS consumer
laptop models will be tested to the latest and strictest MIL-STD-810H
military-grade standards. MIL-STD-810H is a US military standard developed by
the US Department of Defense that provides durability testing advice for
military equipment manufacturers. It includes a wide range of laboratory test
procedures that replicate the environmental and physical situations that
military equipment is expected to endure.
ASUS uses up to 12 test methods with 26 test procedures* in the full suite,
including operation in harsh environmental conditions along with physical
vibration and shock tests designed to mimic rough day-to-day handling.
Compared to other laptop brands, ASUS consumer laptops have more a extensive
testing regime and stricter compliance with the US military standard.
MIL-STD 810H
The new MIL-STD-810H standard is the eighth and most comprehensive version of
the standard, concentrating on rigorous requirements for the durability of a
product.
1. Shock Test
“To ensure the device can physically and functionally withstand the shocks
encountered in handling, transportation, and service environments and verify
that parts of the materiel are not ejected during a crash situation.”
2. Vibration Test
“To verify the device will function in and withstand the vibration
exposures of a life cycle.”
3. High Temperature Test
“To evaluate effects of high temperature conditions on device safety,
integrity, and performance.”
Note
The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards
and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810 testing is
conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810 testing
helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a
particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory
conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions
would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS
warranty. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care.
- Some models tested only 8 test methods and 21 test procedures.
4. Low Temperature Test
“To evaluate effects of low temperature conditions on device safety, integrity, and performance during storage, operation, and manipulation.”
5. Sand and Dust
‘H o evaluate the ability of device to resist the effects of dust (< 150 pm) and to be stored and operated in blowing sand (150 to 850 pm particle size) conditions.”
6. Altitude Test
“To determine the device can withstand and/or operate in a low pressure environment and/or withstand rapid pressure changes.”
7. Freeze & Thaw Test
“To determine the ability of device to withstand the effects of moisture phase changes between liquid and solid or moisture induced by transfer from a cold-to-warm or warm-to-cold environment.”
8. Humidity Test
“To determine the resistance of device to the effects of a warm, humid atmosphere.”
9.Temperature Shock
“To determine the device can withstand sudden changes in the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere without experiencing physical damage or deterioration in performance. ”
10. Solar Radiation
“To determine the heating effects of solar radiation on device, and identify the actinic (photo degradation) effects of exposure to solar radiation.”
11. Mechanical Vibration Test
“To determining the ability of device to withstand Navy shipboard equipment environment and excited vibration testing.”
12. Explosive Atmosphere
“To demonstrate the ability of a device to operate in a fuel-air explosive atmosphere without causing ignition, and that an explosion or combustion reaction will be contained.”
Test Descriptions
ASUS laptops are tested to the most stringent US military-grade standards-, MIL-STD 81 OH, with up to 12 test methods and 26 procedures.*
