RTCA DO-160G Environmental Testing: Sections, Methods and Requirements
RTCA DO-160 is a widely used aerospace environmental and electromagnetic testing standard for airborne equipment. It defines environmental conditions and test procedures used to evaluate whether avionics and other aircraft equipment can withstand the conditions encountered during operation, installation, transportation, and storage.The standard covers a broad range of environmental and electromagnetic stresses, including temperature, altitude, temperature variation, humidity, operational shock, vibration, waterproofness, fluids susceptibility, sand and dust, salt spray, power input, electromagnetic susceptibility, lightning effects, icing, electrostatic discharge, and fire and flammability.For aerospace manufacturers and avionics suppliers, DO-160 testing is typically applied according to the equipment's intended aircraft environment, installation location, operating conditions, and qualification plan. Not every DO-160 section applies to every product.TestEQ provides environmental test chambers and customized environmental simulation systems for aerospace qualification programs, including temperature and altitude testing, temperature variation testing, humidity testing, vibration-integrated environmental testing, and other combined environmental test applications.
