depends on what application you're looking at. There are 25 categories of vibration listed in Method 514.5, ranging from aircraft, to vehicles to ships to boats.

I was a little vague in my question. I was curious is to were this standard comes from. Also a can anybody do a test and stamp this standard on it. Or perhaps point me in the direction of what does this test mean.
 
how much time do you have? ;-)

MIL-STD-810F is the latest revision of one of several military test standards. It covers pretty much all possible environmental conditions that military equipment might be exposed to and provides a test methodology to verify that such equipment will meet it performance requirements under various environmental conditions. There are a total of 23 test methods, although in the case of vibration, there are 25 subcategories of vibration test, depending on the specific platform upon which the equipment is used or transported.

The test methodology can be implemented by anyone who follows the procedures, but usually, test labs such as NTS or Wyle Labs are the only ones with most or all of the test capabilities. Usually, a company will have vibration or temperature testing capabilities, but not much beyond that.

below is a link to the on-line database of military standards and specifications:


type MIL-STD-810 in the Document ID box and it should fetch various revisions of the document.
