MIL-STD-810G according to
https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_X280/ThinkPad_X280_Spec.PDFMy work phone claims the same, main thing relevant to home gamers is ingress protection and drop testing, which IIRC is 1.2m drop onto 12mm ply backed by concrete, or 1.5m with the stock protective case.
As with so-called "aerospace grade" materials in bike parts, the claims are indicative of some things but not all the things the marketing department wants you to associate with those terms 🙂
