The objectives of radiation characterization tests are to demonstrate/validate acceptable survival and operational performance boundaries of components. The capability of each component to operate/survive in each applicable radiation environment shall be assessed with respect to degradation in performance and respective survival rates. Assessment of successful post radiation performance shall include verification of functional capability at intermediate dose levels below rated dose and beyond (minimum of 50% above rated TID and/or Displacement Damage (DD) of the device or failure, whichever is lower). When DD and TID environments apply, the above stated verification of functional capability shall be performed on separate samples and their effects. See the standard documentation for more information on test requirements, conditions, and procedures related to your application.
