CS118/ESD TEST
TURKAK Accredited Testing and Verification
STEST is accredited by the Turkish Accreditation Institution (TURKAK) and carries out its testing and verification activities in an independent, competent, and impartial manner in compliance with national and international standards.
CS118/ESD – Electrostatic Discharge Test
The CS118 test, defined within the scope of MIL-STD-461, is intended to evaluate the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment to electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. The test assesses the equipment’s robustness against ESD originating from direct contact or close-proximity discharges and verifies compatible operation with other onboard systems. By ensuring stable performance during mission conditions, CS118 supports electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) across the platform.
Purpose of the CS118 Test Objective
- Evaluate immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD) events.
- Verify robustness against ESD effects originating from direct contact or close-proximity discharges.
- Support stable operation during mission conditions and platform-level EMC compliance.
Scope of the CS118 Test Scope
- Assesses the ESD performance of equipment used on military platforms.
- Tests are conducted in accordance with the voltage and current levels defined in MIL-STD-461 revisions E, F, and G.
CS118 Test Method Process
- Controlled electrostatic discharges are applied to specified points on the equipment or from close proximity, as required.
- Equipment functions are observed and any malfunctions are recorded.
- The equipment’s robustness against ESD events is evaluated based on observed performance.
