Military Standard vs IEC Standard

What are Military Standards?
Military Standards (MIL-STD) are guidelines created by the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure equipment performs reliably in extreme military environments, including combat zones and harsh conditions.
 
What are IEC Standards?
IEC Standards are internationally recognized guidelines for testing the durability and reliability of electrical and electronic equipment, commonly used in industrial and transportation applications.
 
 What is the Military Standard for Shock and Vibration?
MIL-STD-810 is the primary standard for testing shock and vibration, using Method 514 for vibration and Method 516 for shock, simulating real-world military scenarios.
 
 What is the IEC Standard for Shock and Vibration?
IEC 60068 is the key standard for shock and vibration testing, including IEC 60068-2-27 for shock and IEC 60068-2-6 for vibration, focusing on industrial and transportation conditions.

 OY Elspecta Lab Manager's for   guidance on the requirement rationale use  MIL-STD-464C, but depending on the equipment or system under test, would look to several derivative standards for additional performance and testing requirements:

    MIL-STD-461G: Test RS-105 in this standard details the testing of sub-systems to the unclassified E1 waveform shown in Figure 1.
    MIL-STD-188-125: Details pulse current injection (PCI) testing of fixed (MIL-STD-188-125-1) and mobile (MIL-STD-188-125-2) platforms to a separate, slower version of the E1 pulse.
