Contamination by Fluids MIL STD-810

Test to assess the resistance of aviation equipment to temporary contact with liquid contamination. The test simulates the effects of liquids as they may occur during the life cycle of the equipment, whether occasionally, intermittently or over longer periods of time.

Eis und gefrierender Regen / Icing and Freezing Rain MIL STD-810

Test for evaluating resistance to icing and freezing rain. This test evaluates how icing affects the operational capability of the material. The objective is to ensure that the equipment remains reliable under icy conditions.

Flammability RTCA DO-160G - Section 26

Test to assess the flammability and fire resistance of aviation equipment. The test defines conditions and procedures for testing the resistance of materials and components to fire. It examines how quickly flames spread and whether the devices retain their structural integrity under fire-related loads.

Freeze and Thaw MIL STD-810

Test for evaluating resistance to freeze and thaw cycles. This test evaluates whether the material can withstand the effects of moisture phase changes between liquid and solid, as well as the stresses caused by temperature transitions between cold and warm environments. The objective is to ensure that the equipment remains functional under such varying conditions.

Fungus Resistance RTCA DO-160

Test to evaluate the resistance of materials to fungal growth under conditions favorable for development. This includes high humidity, elevated temperatures, and the presence of inorganic salts. The objective is to ensure that functionality and reliability of the components are maintained even under microbiological exposure.

Fungus Test MIL STD-810

This test evaluates the susceptibility of materials to fungal growth. Under simulated conditions that promote the development of microorganisms, it is assessed whether materials are affected in their structure, functionality, or surface properties. In this way, the resistance against biological influences can be determined.

High Temperature Test MIL STD-810

Test to assess the safety, integrity and performance of aviation equipment under high temperatures. The test simulates extreme heat to test how materials and components react to such conditions.

Humidity RTCA DO-160G - Section 6

Test to assess the resistance of aviation equipment to high humidity. This involves exposing the devices to controlled conditions with high relative humidity over a defined period of time, often in combination with temperature cycles, in order to test possible effects such as corrosion, condensation or malfunctions.

Humidity MIL STD-810

The Environmental Test Humidity evaluates the ability of devices to tolerate humid environments, either naturally or artificially generated. The aim of the test is to analyse the effects of humidity on the mechanical, electrical, chemical and thermal properties of the devices. In particular, it examines whether corrosion or other changes occur that could impair functionality or reliability. The test comprises various categories, which place different demands on resilience depending on the environment in which the device is used.

Icing RTCA DO-160G - Section 24

Test to assess the performance of aviation equipment under icing conditions. The test simulates the effects of ice formation caused by rapid changes in temperature, altitude and humidity. The devices are exposed to these conditions to test their functionality and reliability in icing conditions

Immersion MIL STD-810

This test evaluates whether the material can withstand full or partial immersion in water and continue to operate as intended during and after immersion. The objective is to ensure the equipment remains functional under such conditions.

Low Pressure (Altitude) MIL STD-810

Test to assess the resistance of components to low ambient pressure and rapid pressure changes. This ensures that functionality is maintained even at high altitudes or under simulated pressure conditions.

Low Temperature Test MIL STD-810

Test to evaluate the safety, integrity and performance of aviation equipment at low temperatures. The test simulates extreme cold conditions to check how the devices react during storage, operation and handling.

Mechanical Vibrations MIL STD-810

Test for evaluating resistance to mechanical vibrations of shipboard equipment. This test evaluates whether the material and components of installed equipment can withstand environmental and operationally induced vibrations without damage. The objective is to ensure that the equipment remains functional under the typical vibration conditions encountered on ships.

Rain MIL STD-810

The environmental test evaluates the resistance of devices to rain, water jets or dripping water to ensure their functionality under such conditions. It examines how effectively the housing, protective covers and seals prevent the ingress of water, as well as the ability of the device to fulfil its performance requirements during and after exposure to water. The test simulates typical scenarios that devices in the aviation industry may be exposed to

Salt Fog Test RTCA DO-160G - Section 14

Test to assess the resistance of aviation equipment to a salty atmosphere or salt spray. The test simulates the stresses that can be caused by long-term exposure to salt in normal operating environments. The devices are exposed to a controlled salty environment for a defined period of time to test their corrosion resistance and functionality

Salt Fog Test MIL STD-810

Test to assess the resistance of aviation equipment to salt spray. The test analyses the effectiveness of protective coatings and surface treatments as well as the effects of salt deposits on the physical and electrical properties of the devices

Sand and Dust RTCA DO-160

Test to determine the resistance of components to the effects of sand and dust exposure. The specimen is subjected to defined airflows carrying particles at moderate speeds. This verifies whether functionality and reliability are maintained under realistic environmental conditions involving dust or sand contamination.

Sand and Dust MIL STD-810

This test assesses the resistance of components to the effects of sand and dust exposure. The simulation involves airborne particles carried by moderate airflows to determine whether the functionality and reliability of the test specimens can be maintained under realistic environmental conditions.

Shock and Crash Safety RTCA DO-160G - Section 7

Test to assess the resistance of aviation equipment to vibration. The test simulates the mechanical stresses caused by vibrations that can occur during normal flight operations. The devices are subjected to defined frequencies and amplitudes in order to check their structural integrity and functionality under realistic operating conditions.

Shock Test MIL STD-810

Test to assess the resistance of aviation equipment to shock loads. The test simulates the mechanical shocks that can occur during handling, transport or operation and checks the structural and functional integrity of the devices. In addition, the fastening devices are tested to ensure that the devices do not pose a danger in the event of an accident or that parts of them are not ejected

Solar Radiation Test MIL STD-810

Test to assess the effects of solar radiation on aviation equipment. The test examines the heating effects of solar radiation as well as possible photochemical changes such as material degradation or discolouration caused by long-term exposure to sunlight.
