MIL-STD-882: system safety

MIL-STD-882 defines a system safety engineering approach to identify hazards, assess and mitigate risk, and accept residual risk. It is an engineering process standard, not a lab test.

What it covers

Choosing tests

Work is analysis and documentation — consultants and safety engineers, not test labs, usually lead it.

Plain-language scope summaries — no standard text is reproduced. Revision and status are not asserted here; confirm the current version with the standards owner (DLA ASSIST for MIL documents) and your contract.
