Testing for hermeticity on commercial product is not normally done on standard molded devices
that are not hermetic. Commercial product that this test method applies to has a construction that
produces a hermetic package; examples of this are ceramic and metal packages.Most of these tests are controlled and updated in the military standards, the two standards that
apply are MIL-STD-750 for Discretes, & MIL-STD-883 for microcircuits. The test within these
standards can be used for all package types.Within these standards the tests are similar; MIL-STD-750 Test Method 1071 Hermetic Seal is
recommended for any commercial hermetic requirements.For MIL-STD-883 the applicable test method is 1014 Seal.
