RTCA/DO-160D/E
This standard defines a series of minimum standard
environmental test conditions and applicable test procedures for airborne
equipment. The purpose of these tests is to determine the performance
characteristics of airborne equipment in environmental conditions representative
of those which may be encountered in airborne operation of the equipment.
RTCA/DO160E is published by RTCA, Inc., a global
organization comprised of industry and government representatives, which
develops standards to assure the safety and reliability of all Airborne
Electronics (Avionics). Manufacturers of aircraft electronic equipment selling their
products in the United States, Europe, and around the globe must meet RTCA
requirements, including RTCA/DO-160E. The European Organization for Civil
Aviation Electronics (EUROCAE) works jointly with RTCA in the development of
standards, and publishes an identical document, EUROCAE/ED-14D.
Environ Laboratories is a member of RTCA and participated in the development and
ongoing revision of RTCA/DO-160E. Erik Borgstrom, our EMC Department
Manager, is very active on the committee handling all EMC/EMI issues, and Alan
Thompson, our President, is the Change Coordinator for the new Section 26
regarding Fire Exposure. Please contact either of these gentlemen with
your questions.
