Software / Firmware Type Version Description Firmware 0.17.0 BMD firmware Environmental Test Requirements Test Procedures Environmental Control – Transit and Storage Equipment used for vote casting or for counting votes in a precinct count system, shall meet these specific minimum performance standards that simulate exposure to physical shock and vibration associated with handling and transportation by surface and air common carriers, and to temperature conditions associated with delivery and storage in an uncontrolled warehouse environment: • Bench handling equivalent to the procedure of MIL-STD-810D, Method 516.3, Procedure VI. • Vibration equivalent to the procedure of MIL-STD-810D, Method 514.3, Category 1- Basic Transportation, Common Carrier. Non-Operating Environmental Test Operational Status Check When all tests, inspections, repairs, and adjustments were completed, normal operation was verified by conducting an operational status check. During this process, all equipment was operated in a manner and under environmental conditions that simulated election use to verify the functional status of the system. Prior to the conduct of each of the environmental hardware non-operating tests, a supplemental test was made to determine that the operational state of the equipment is within acceptable performance limits. California Certification Environmental Hardware Test Page 6 of 9 Report Report No. CAF-20004-ENVTR-01 State of CA LA County VSAP 2.1 ENV Hardware Test Report Procedure The following procedures were followed to verify the equipment status: Step 1: Arrange the system for normal operation. Step 2: Turn on power and allow the system to reach recommended operating temperature. Step 3: Perform any servicing and make any adjustments necessary to achieve operational status. Step 4: Operate the equipment in all modes, demonstrating all functions and features that would be used during election operations. Step 5: Verify that all system functions have been correctly executed. Failure Criteria Upon completion of each non-operating test, the system hardware was subjected to functional testing to verify continued operability. If any portion of the voting machine or precinct counter hardware failed to remain fully functional, the testing would have been suspended until the failure was identified and corrected by the manufacturer. The system would then have been subject to a retest. Bench Handling Test The bench handling test simulates stresses faced during maintenance and repair of voting machines and ballot counters. All systems and components, regardless of type, must meet the requirements of this test. This test is equivalent to the procedure of MIL-STD-810D, Method 516.3, and Procedure VI. Each of the three devices were subjected to the bench handling process, as described below. Procedure Step 1: Place each piece of equipment on a level floor or table, as for normal operation or servicing. Step 2: Make provision, if necessary, to restrain lateral movement of the equipment or its supports at one edge of the device. Vertical rotation about that edge shall not be restrained. Step 3: Using that edge as a pivot, raise the opposite edge to an angle of 45 degrees, to a height of four inches above the surface, or until the point of balance has been reached, whichever occurs first. Step 4: Release the elevated edge so that it may drop to the test surface without restraint. Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for a total of six events. California Certification Environmental Hardware Test Page 7 of 9 Report Report No. CAF-20004-ENVTR-01 State of CA LA County VSAP 2.1 ENV Hardware Test Report Step 6: Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for the other base edges, for a total of 24 drops for each device. Step 7: Perform an Operational Status Check verifying continued operability of the UUT. Results Each of the three devices were successfully dropped as prescribed above, with no apparent damage. Each device passed its Step 7 Operational Status Check. Each device was deemed to have successfully passed the Bench Handling test. Vibration Test The vibration test simulates stresses faced during transport of voting machines and ballot counters between storage locations and polling places. All systems and components, regardless of type, must meet the requirements of this test. This test is equivalent to the procedure of MIL-STD-810D, Method 514.3, Category 1- Basic Transportation, and Common Carrier. Each of the three devices were subjected to the vibration test process, as described below. Procedure Step 1: Install the test item in its transit or combination case as prepared for transport. Step 2: Attach instrumentation as required to measure the applied excitation. Step 3: Mount the equipment on a vibration table with the axis of excitation along the vertical axis of the equipment. Step 4: Apply excitation as shown in MIL-STD-810D, Method 514.3-1, “Basic transportation, common carrier, vertical axis,” with low frequency excitation cutoff at 10 Hz, for a period of 30 minutes. Step 5: Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the transverse and longitudinal axes of the equipment with the excitation profiles shown in Figures 514.3-2 and 514.3-3, respectively. (Note: The total excitation period equals 90 minutes, with 30 minutes excitation along each axis.) Step 6: Remove the test item from its transit or combination case and perform an Operational Status Check verifying continued operability of the UUT. California Certification Environmental Hardware Test Page 8 of 9 Report Report No. CAF-20004-ENVTR-01 State of CA LA County VSAP 2.1 ENV Hardware Test Report Results Each of the three devices were successfully endured the excitation period as prescribed above, with no apparent damage. Each device passed its Step 6 Operational Status Check. Each device was deemed to have successfully passed the Vibration test. Environmental Test Summary Table 1 shows the tests performed on the UUT.
