Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is DO-160 testing, and why is it important for aviation compliance?

DO-160 testing ensures that airborne equipment can operate safely and reliably under extreme environmental and electrical conditions.

It verifies that aerospace and defense systems can withstand harsh factors such as temperature extremes, vibration, shock, humidity, and electromagnetic interference, ensuring compliance with international safety standards.

How long does DO-160 testing take at an accredited lab?

The DO-160 test timeline depends on the number of test categories required and the complexity of the equipment. Standard testing may take a few weeks, while more extensive testing for military or commercial avionics systems could take several months. Pre-compliance testing can help reduce delays by identifying issues early.

Aversan offers efficient DO-160 compliance testing with a streamlined process to minimize certification delays.

How do I find an accredited DO-160 testing lab for aerospace certification?
