EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of the RTCA DO 160 standard. The DO-160 standard, published by the Radio Technical Aviation Commission (RTCA), is a standard designed for environmental testing of avionics equipment. This standard replaces the previously published DO-138 standard.
The RTCA DO 160 standard provides standard procedures and environmental testing criteria for testing airborne equipment for the entire range of aircraft, from light general aviation aircraft and helicopters to jumbo jets and supersonic aircraft.
The said standard consists of 26 sections and three appendices. Examples of tests covered include vibration, power input, radio frequency sensitivity, lightning, and electrostatic discharge.
The parts of this standard are as follows:
The purpose of these tests is to provide a controlled means of assuring the performance characteristics of airborne equipment under similar environmental conditions when operating equipment in air.
The environmental test conditions and test methods in the standard are used in conjunction with applicable equipment performance standards as a minimum specification under environmental conditions that provide sufficient confidence in performance during use on an aircraft.
