Tough is often overused in tablets advertisements. But the real deal of rugged tablets is more than a merely added cover over little turbulence and knocks. The actual rugged tablets are made to endure various degrees of misuse, like the brutal fieldwork by the first responders, military personnel, transportation, etc.
A proper rugged tablets will have at least two forms of certification. One is Military Standard MIL-STD, which proves the equipment has been tested in various harsh situations originally devised for military devices. The other one is Ingress Protection, IP rating, which verifies protection against the dirty-dusty environment, humidity, and water. Without these certifications, you might consider a device's ruggedness to be mere marketing.
Military Standard Certification
Most rugged tablets adhere to durability standards MIL-STD 810G that the US Department of Defense creates. It serves as a series of performance tests to ensure products meet specific requirements for various defense-related purposes.
The MIL-STD 810G standard spans nearly 30 laboratory test methods in over 800 pages, ranging from physical forces (drop, vibration, and shock) to weather conditions (high and low temperatures, rain, and humidity).
Although the Military Standard is specified for equipment used in arm forces services, it can also apply to non-defense industries. Companies across all industries turn to the MIL-STD 810G to validate their products as ruggedized. That is because the thorough test methods validate a product' 's readiness for a broad range of environmental conditions.
Certified Dust and Water Resistant
The IP ratings are defined in the international standard IEC 60529, which classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects, dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. The IP rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter.
The two digits (characteristic numerals) signify conformity with the conditions. The first digit indicates the level of ingress protection upon solid foreign objects into hazardous parts (e.g., electrical conductors, moving parts, etc.) The 2nd digit is the defense against harmful ingress fluids.
Take the example of SENTER S917V9 Rugged tablet with an IP68 rating, which means the gadget is tightly protected against dust and jets of water from any direction.
