Describes requirements for ESS of electronic equipment, including environmental test conditions, procedures, durations of exposure, equipment operation, actions taken upon detection of defects, and test documentation. Allows for uniform ESS to be used to effectively disclose manufacturing defects. Coverage includes applicable documents, time on test derivation, time on test criteria, and probability of acceptance. Also gives detailed diagrams.
