I have a pyrotechnic device that will ultimately have to function under saltwater. As part of the environment test plan, I intend to function the device immersed in x depth of saltwater to demonstrate it's capability. I am wondering if there is a specification that anyone has come across that lays out a test plan for functioning a device immersed in salt water. I have already seen the Mil-spec-810 tests regarding fording and those aren't adequate. I will simply function the device under salt water if I cannot find a specification but it would be more appealing to say we have demonstrated our device to function under salt water IAW spec ........... Any thoughts?

Mil-Std-810 includes an immersion test, method 512, in which the use of saturated salt water is included as a possible test fluid.
