MIL-STD-810H Part Two, Method 508.8
What It Evaluates
Precondition the item for at least 4 hours at 30 ±2°C and 90–<100% RH, then spray accessible surfaces with a mixed fungal-spore suspension. Cleaning must be completed at least 72 hours before testing.
When It Applies
Applies when the product lifecycle, platform, storage, transport, deployment, or operating environment includes credible exposure.
Likely Procedures
Procedure selection requires engineering review of the item lifecycle and contract requirements.
Typical Ranges / Conditioning
Severity, duration, and conditions require engineering tailoring; no generic value is assigned by this tool. Conditioning details require review by qualified engineers and applicable contract requirements.
This tool provides preliminary planning information only. Final MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461, and RTCA DO-160 requirements must be reviewed and tailored by qualified engineers based on the product, lifecycle, platform, environment, and contract requirements.
