[Notebook] Military Standard (MIL-STD 810) Introduction
What is the MIL-STD-810H standard?
Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense, MIL-STD-810H is a U.S. military standard that focuses on adapting the environmental design and testing limits of military equipment to the conditions it will experience throughout its service life. This standard aims to create room testing methods that repeat the effects of harsh environment on equipment.
How many procedures of MIL-STD 810H does the ASUS consumer laptop test to?
ASUS consumer laptops use 12 test methods and 26 total procedures (Please refer to the MIL-STD-810 Testing Report for a detailed model list). The test conditions include Shock, Vibration, Temperature, Sand and Dust, Explosive Atmosphere, Altitude, Humidity,
Mechanical Vibration, Solar Radiation tests, and more. Please refer to the table below for all test procedures.
*Some machines will only pass 8 major items with 21 sub-items, 9 major items with 12 sub-items, or 5 major items with 5 sub-item tests. The testing items and results may vary depending on the product.
Why do you need a laptop with Military-grade certification?
These tests ensure product durability and reliability, and inherently benefit from longevity and sustainability. No matter where the user is, the ASUS laptop can help them to get work done more efficiently.
Where can I find the test procedures that ASUS laptop passed?

- Selected products are tested using enhanced military-grade MIL-STD-810H durability standards, with 12 test methods and 26 procedures, to ensure extraordinary toughness. Based on ASUS internal market research using available information and testing reports from main laptop brand websites on Oct 28, 2022, ASUS consumer laptops use a regime consisting of 26 test procedures, which is the consumer laptop industry’s strictest and most extensive test regime for the MIL-STD-810H standard.
- The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810 testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810 testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care.
