Functional requirements

The following IP code ratings for ingress protection (IP), as defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60529 (equivalent to European standard EN 60529), are typically used for certifying various toughened and ruggedised smartphones.

IP67

IP68

Solid particle (dust) protection level 6 (totally dust tight; full protection against dust and other particulates, including a vacuum seal, tested against continuous airflow), liquid ingress (waterproof) protection level 8 (protection against extended immersion under higher pressure (i.e. greater depths); precise parameters of this test will be set and advertised by the manufacturer, and may include additional factors such as temperature fluctuations and flow rates, depending on equipment type), plus drop test of 5 metres (16 feet 5 inches), conventional vibration.

MIL-STD-810G

MIL-STD-810G is a U.S. military standard that stipulates a level of durability for an item of equipment. Specifically, it means the equipment has been subjected to a series of twenty-nine (29) tests, including shock tests, vibration tests, and more. This means it should be field ready, or even 'combat ready' in principle. A lot of technology sold to the U.S. military must be MIL-STD-810G compliant.
