[Gaming NB] Military Standard (MIL-STD 810) - Introduction
What is the MIL-STD-810H standard?
Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense, the MIL-STD-810H standard is a U.S. military standard of testing that examines the military equipment's resistance to the environmental conditions it may face throughout its lifetime. This standard aims to simulate the environmental condition in the testing room setting. With these tests, we ensure our products are durable and reliable, which translates into better longevity, and also benefits the environment and making the product more sustainable.
How are ASUS TUF Laptops tested to the MIL-STD 810H standards?
ASUS TUF Gaming laptops (A15/A17/F15/F17) have been tested by 5 test methods and 5 test procedures. * The test conditions include Shock, Vibration, High and Low Temperature, and Humidity or high altitude.

*The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on the 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.
