This standard describes the differences and the minimum testing requirements necessary to each of these three classes for evaluation, screening, and lot acceptance. The following test sequence shows the evaluation test sequence for class 1 components, this sequence is the same in the three classes described in the standard with different severity and test conditions to each class.

PIND ( Particle Impact Noise Detection Test ) testing is performed in order to detect the presence of loose particles inside a device cavity. Loose particle contamination is often caused by dirt, fibers, solder residues and other elements trapped inside the cavity during the sealing process. Loose particles can be a cause of electrical anomalies (or other physical problems) which in their turn can cause abnormal functioning of the parts and affect their reliability.

Space standards (such as ESCC and MIL standards) have helped throughout the years to develop the industry and to achieve de mission goals. Standards improve the competitiveness, efficiency and knowledge transfer within space business. However, standards are not frozen documents, but rather they must change and adapt to the current requirements of the industry and the new developments and knowledge gathered during all the years of space missions.
