The ASSIST database is the official source for specifications and standards used by the US Department of Defense. Indexed documents include current and historical military and federal standards and specifications. The ASSIST document database houses over 180,000 PDF files associated with about 82,000 of the approximately 111,000 indexed documents. (Updates vary)
Examples are:
MIL-STD-810H
MIL-STD-461G
…
What is the website address?
US DOD provides with a tool called ASSIST QUICK SEARCH for searching for any of the US military standards. ASSIST website has the historic versions of the standards. All can be downloaded free of charge.
US DOD assumes that the cost of the effort for developing standards is met with the tax dollars paid by the people. That is probably the reason why these products are free for anyone. The intended audience therefor is probably the US people.
Devices used onboard a ship are exposed to harsh electromagnetic environments, whether in the propulsion, deck or bridge area of a ship. Testing of such devices for Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) is therefore very important. Otherwise, manufacturers can face difficulties during the certification and procurement stages.
EMC testing and certification services to ensure your marine products comply with relevant international standards and regulations is a MUST!
GDS Engineering R&D does not perform these tests yet; however, have the information on design and test knowledge. The requirements include the international conventions as agreed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).
Currently, we have observed that these tests are conducted by reputable agencies like ELEMENT.
The testing laboratories use the following standards to test the marine electronic, digital or electrical devices for certification to IMO SOLAS requirements, guidance, or recommendations:
IEC 60945
IEC 60533
Lloyds Register Test Spec No 1
DNV Certification Notes 2.4
IEC 60092

Support and guidance from the initial design stage
The use of composite materials in ship construction together with new radio technologies and high power electronics are changing the requirements and design goals that need to be achieved to ensure electromagnetic compatibility. Element is well placed with our knowledge of both standards and the target environment to provide detailed guidance of the best compliance strategies to adopt for your marine products.
CE Marking and Wheel Mark certification
Element performs EMC testing in conjunction with climatic and environmental test requirements to meet dedicated marine standards and be compliant with CE marking legislation. We make sure your marine equipment complies with the relevant EMC standards listed in the Marine Equipment Directive to help you achieve the Wheel Mark certification.
EMC test plans
Our test facilities for both EMC and environmental provide a comprehensive portfolio of tests to ensure that whatever your marine equipment is, and no matter where it’s located, we have a test solution that matches your needs.
Coordinated approach to testing for global market access
Our expertise comes from testing thousands of different products every year, and our industry-leading capacity allows us appropriate coordination of testing, so your marine equipment meets common standards of safety and performance across the EU and is accepted for entry into world markets.

This training is full! Review the training courses at GDS Systems Engineering Training Courses.
Organized by TRTEST Test ve Değerlendirme A.Ş., Ankara, Turkey.
Electrical/Electronic systems for US DoD aircraft must comply with MIL-STD-704F, the latest version of the standard. Equipment must pass this comprehensive testing to demonstrate compliance.
We provide a 2 day online training course with two experienced instructors on the subject.
We can open the course as an online and closed course or you can simply join to one of our upcoming training events.
Thank you for your interest.
Established in 2014, GDS Engineering R&D offers products and services to the transporation industry.
The vision of GDS started earlier than 2014. Our personnel has been providing engineering services in various defense programs and projects and educational services since 1997. GDS was first estblised in San Antonio, Texas in 2008, the headquarters was then moved to Istanbul, Turkey in 2014.
Established by Dr Ismail Cicek, GDS now provides engineering services and products to the industry with a small team of engineers and managers of seven (7), academic consultants or part time subject matter experts (SMEs) of more than 10, and part-time associated students of five (5).
We provide international educational services, test support, or deliver products in various locations in the world, including the main office located in Istanbul, Turkey.
Our main product is Engine Room Simulator (ERS). All of our products are listed in summary here. Our main services are training and consultancy services on environmental qualification test standards, such as MIL-STD-810H and RTCA-DO-160G.
MODERN IMO STCW TRAINING SIMULATORS
We develop and provide engine room simulator to the maritime schools, institutions, and companies. Our modern and effective Engine Room Simulator (ERS), certified by ClassNK in 2020, is already in use by many institutions around the world. Click here to read more about the GDS simulator products. Our simulator development story involves the collaborations with universities, industrial firms and governmental or non-governmental organizations.
