Standards are requirements, typically technical and engineering in nature, which railway companies must follow to ensure a safe and secure rail transportation system. Some (engineering standards) are submitted by industry and approved by the Minister of Transport, others are developed by Transport Canada or other regulating entities.
Below is a list of Rail related Standards.

Method 1010.8 Temperature cycling - MIL-STD-883H, extract of Test Method Standard, Microcircuits, MIL-STD-883H, published by the Department of Defense of the United States, February 26, 2010
Method 1010.8 Temperature cycling - MIL-STD-883H is an extract of Test Method Standard, Microcircuits, MIL-STD-883H, published by the Department of Defense of the United States. This test is conducted to determine the resistance of a part to extremes of high and low temperatures, and to the effect of alternate exposures to these extremes. This method is referenced in the Grade Crossings Standards.
