Executive summary Hewlett-Packard Company has introduced a rugged line of notebooks and tablets built for performance, mobility, and versatility to survive the most demanding needs in tough environments. With the introduction of the HP nr3600 Rugged Notebook and the HP tr3000 Rugged Tablet PC, HP offers excellent computing capabilities to highly mobile users in extreme conditions. These mobile PCs are ideal tools for users who often work in remote and demanding environments where computers must be able to withstand long-term vibration, rain, dust, and extreme operating temperatures. Universal compliance testing standards do not yet exist for this class of product in the industry today. Therefore, in order to best meet the needs of customers seeking this more rugged solution for portable computing, HP performs extremely rigorous compliance testing. In fact, the qualification procedures for the HP Rugged Notebook and the HP Rugged Tablet PC are setting the industry standard. HP follows test specifications from several industries, including the trucking industry and the U.S. military. The standard frame of reference for rugged products in general is the U.S. Military Specification for ruggedness, also referred to as MIL-STD 810F specification (or MIL spec 810F). The MIL spec 810F is not a specification for computing devices only; it covers a broad range of devices procured by the U.S. military. For this reason, HP computing devices are typically tested to applicable specifications only. These specifications include Vibration, Temperature, Sealing, Humidity, Low Pressure, ESD, and Drop (Shock). Both the HP Rugged Notebook and the HP Rugged Tablet PC devices comply with MIL-STD-810F and offer an Ingress Protection rating of IP54, which specifies the level of environmental protection a device provides against liquids and solid objects, like rain and dust. Only the most durable systems survive this series of tests, which simulate real-life situations in the field. This white paper lists the standard tests and technical specifications to which the HP Rugged Computing products conform.

Executive summary
Hewlett-Packard Company has introduced a rugged line of notebooks and tablets built for
performance, mobility, and versatility to survive the most demanding needs in tough environments.
With the introduction of the HP nr3600 Rugged Notebook and the HP tr3000 Rugged Tablet PC,
HP offers excellent computing capabilities to highly mobile users in extreme conditions.
These mobile PCs are ideal tools for users who often work in remote and demanding environments
where computers must be able to withstand long-term vibration, rain, dust, and extreme operating
temperatures.
Universal compliance testing standards do not yet exist for this class of product in the industry today.
Therefore, in order to best meet the needs of customers seeking this more rugged solution for portable
computing, HP performs extremely rigorous compliance testing. In fact, the qualification procedures
for the HP Rugged Notebook and the HP Rugged Tablet PC are setting the industry standard.
HP follows test specifications from several industries, including the trucking industry and the U.S.
military. The standard frame of reference for rugged products in general is the U.S. Military
Specification for ruggedness, also referred to as MIL-STD 810F specification (or MIL spec 810F). The
