## Synthesized answer (unofficial)

MIL-HDBK-240 is a Department of Defense handbook titled "Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO) Test Guide." The current version is MIL-HDBK-240A, dated 10 March 2011, which superseded MIL-HDBK-240 from 1 November 2002 [MIL-HDBK-240].

The handbook is approved for use by all Department of Defense departments and agencies and was prepared for contractors, DoD test agencies, activities, and test planners [MIL-HDBK-240]. However, it is explicitly designated as guidance only and cannot be cited as a requirement [MIL-HDBK-240].

MIL-HDBK-240 is referenced in Air Force guidance on electromagnetic radiation hazards to ordnance. DAFI 91-208 cites Military Handbook 240 in establishing electromagnetic radiation control procedures for electrically initiated devices throughout the DAF [DAFI 91-208 para 1.2.1].
