RTCA/DO-160 Compliance Testing

The RTCA /DO 160 test defines standard environmental test conditions and applicable electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test procedures for airborne equipment. The standard provides a manufacturer and test laboratory the means of demonstrating the performance characteristics of airborne equipment in environmental and electrical conditions that may be encountered in operation of the equipment in aircraft.

DO-160 testing has been revised to address the emerging and improved test technologies resulting from the increased understanding of equipment operation under actual environmental conditions. The test standard can be broken down into administrative, electromagnetic and mechanical.

The Administrative Sections of the DO 160 standard includes three general sections. These sections provide the basis and foundation of all of the EMC and mechanical testing sections.

  • DO-160 Section 1: Purpose and Applicability
  • DO-160 Section 2: Definition of Terms
  • DO-160 Section 3: Conditions of Tests
