Testing to your specification: MIL-STD-810, RDSO, tenders and OEM requirements.
Defence qualification to MIL-STD-810H, JSS 55555 and MIL-STD-461G, RDSO type tests for Indian Railways vendors, environmental tests to IEC 60068, and PSU, GeM, OEM and export buyer specifications. We turn the specification into a test plan, arrange accredited labs and witnessing, and map the report to every clause.
Turning a specification into a passed test
Read the Spec
We go through your tender, RDSO, defence or OEM specification clause by clause and list every test, level and acceptance criterion.
Build the Test Plan
Sequence, sample quantities, operating modes and pass criteria agreed with you, and with your customer where needed.
Run and Report
Testing at labs whose scope covers the methods, with witnessing where required and a report mapped to each clause.

MIL-STD-810H environmental testing
MIL-STD-810H (31 January 2019, with Change Notice 1 in 2022) is the US Department of Defense standard for tailoring environmental tests to a product’s life cycle. In India it’s widely called up in defence, DRDO, PSU and rugged-electronics specifications, often alongside JSS 55555. Common methods we arrange:
| Method | Test | What it simulates |
|---|---|---|
| 500.6 | Low Pressure (Altitude) | Air transport and high-altitude use |
| 501.7 / 502.7 | High / Low Temperature | Storage and operation in heat and cold |
| 503.7 | Temperature Shock | Sudden moves between hot and cold |
| 505.7 | Solar Radiation | Heating and UV from sunlight |
| 506.6 | Rain | Blowing and dripping rain |
| 507.6 | Humidity | Hot, humid storage and use |
| 508.8 | Fungus | Mould growth on materials |
| 509.7 | Salt Fog | Coastal and marine corrosion |
| 510.7 | Sand and Dust | Desert and dusty field use |
| 512.6 | Immersion | Water ingress during fording or submersion |
| 514.8 | Vibration | Transport and platform vibration |
| 516.8 | Shock | Drops, handling and transit shocks |
Method numbers from MIL-STD-810H. Test levels and durations are tailored to your specification; “MIL-STD-810 compliant” means nothing without the methods and procedures listed. For EMC, defence specs usually call up MIL-STD-461G separately.
RDSO testing for Indian Railways vendors
Vendors supplying Indian Railways must get products registered with RDSO (or the relevant vendor approving authority), and that starts with type testing. We plan the tests and the lab so the reports count.
Type tests in RDSO’s order of preference RDSO QO-D-8.1-10
RDSO’s vendor sample type testing procedure prefers RDSO’s own lab, then a government or NABL-accredited lab, then other government-accredited labs where capacity is lacking, and the firm’s own premises only with the vendor approving authority’s approval.
Accreditation RDSO accepts ISO/IEC 17025
Outside labs must be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 by a government-controlled body that is a signatory to the ILAC mutual recognition arrangement, which NABL is.
Tested to the RDSO specification Spec + drawing
Testing follows the item’s RDSO specification and schedule of technical requirements, often with IEC, EN 50155, EN 50121 or IS standards called up inside it, so the test plan has to read the specification clause by clause.
Witnessed and recorded Vendor registration
RDSO may witness tests and asks for critical parameters to be recorded. Failed samples need a technical explanation or corrective action before retesting.
Your specification testing in five steps
Specifications often call up several standards at once. The test plan is where we save you the most time and money.
Standard & Test Plan
We confirm exactly which standard, clauses and tests apply, and why: certification, tender, export or customer approval.
Day 1Lab & Fixed Quote
We choose a lab whose accreditation scope covers your tests and send one written quote with cost and turnaround.
Day 1–3Samples & Documents
You send samples, datasheets and any drawings or specs. We check quantities so testing isn’t held up.
Day 3–7Testing & Updates
The lab tests to the plan. Early failures are flagged straight away so you can fix and retest quickly. Witnessing on request.
As quotedReport Review
We check the report against the standard and the authority it’s for before you submit it, then help with the next filing.
On completionWhy manufacturers use us for specification testing
Right Lab, First Time
We match your tests to a lab whose accreditation scope actually covers them, so the report is accepted by BIS, TEC, CDSCO, RDSO, a buyer or a tender committee.
One Point of Contact
Test plan, quotes, samples, follow-ups and report review are handled by one specialist, not passed between lab departments.
Testing Linked to Certification
Reports are planned for the approval you need next, from BIS and TEC to CE and FCC, so you don’t pay to test twice.
Specification testing for businesses across India
We work with environmental, EMC and type-testing labs across India, including those serving defence, railway and PSU suppliers, for clients in:
Common specification testing mistakes
Missing Test Levels
‘MIL-STD-810 compliant’ without methods, procedures and levels isn’t a test plan.
Wrong Revision
Testing to 810G when the contract says 810H, or an older RDSO spec, can void the report.
Wrong Test Sequence
Many specs require tests in order on the same sample. Changing the order can invalidate results.
No Witness Arranged
If RDSO or the customer must witness, tests run without them may need repeating.
Other testing we arrange
Electrical Testing
Safety, performance, temperature rise, IP and type tests for electrical products. See Electrical Testing.
Chemical Testing
RoHS, REACH, heavy metals, composition, water and material analysis. See Chemical Testing.
EMC Testing
Emission and immunity testing to CISPR, IEC 61000, MIL-STD-461 and railway EMC. See EMC Testing.
Medical Device Testing
IEC 60601, ISO 10993 biocompatibility, sterility and performance for CDSCO. See Medical Device Testing.
ASTM Testing
Mechanical, material, coating, packaging and petroleum tests to ASTM methods. See ASTM Testing.
NABL / ILAC Accredited Testing
Accredited reports accepted by Indian regulators and overseas buyers. See NABL / ILAC Accredited Testing.
