MIL-STD-3010C, MILITARY STANDARD: TEST PROCEDURES FOR PACKAGING MATERIALS (01-AUG-2013)

MIL-STD-3010C, MILITARY STANDARD: TEST PROCEDURES FOR PACKAGING MATERIALS (01-AUG-2013)., This standard was developed to document uniform test methods for the evaluation of materials and containers used in military packaging applications. Reference to the test methods included herein ensures standardization of testing procedures and also eliminates unnecessary repetition of detailed test instructions within each individual packaging specification or standard. The test methods included herein were previously documented in FED-STD-101. FED-STD-101A contained 250 test methods. This number was reduced to 172 in FED-STD-101B, then to 31 in FED-STD-101C, by deleting test methods no longer deemed relevant or as a result of supersession by industry standards. The remaining 31 standard test methods were then reviewed to verify need and extent of usage. That review indicated that only 15 unique test method standards are required to support the testing of packaging materials used in military packaging applications. For MIL-STD-3010 revision C, it was determined that 12 standard test methods are required to support the testing of containers. These 12 test methods have been incorporated to this Military Standard.
