What is BS EN 4819 – CMB tags for aircraft use about?
BS EN 4819 is a European standard that discusses Contact Memory Button (CMB) tags for aircraft use. The purpose of BS EN 4819 is to provide the best industry requirements that can enhance the performance and reliability of CMB tags for aerospace applications.
The scope of BS EN 4819 is to:
- Provide a requirements document for CMB Manufacturers to produce systems for the Aerospace and Defence industry
- Identify the minimum performance requirements specific to CMB used on Aerospace and Defence vehicle parts accessed only during ground operations
- Identify existing standards applicable to CMB
- Provide a qualification standard for CMB which will use permanently-affixed installation on systems
- Provide some patterns of data
In addition to any relevant document from certification authorities, the following documents should be taken into account to define requirements concerning the technical specifications for CMB:
- EUROCAE documents: ED-14, Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment
- RTCA documents: DO-160, Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment
- Military Standard: MIL-STD-810, Department of Defense Test Method Standard for Environmental
- Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests
Who is BS EN 4819 - CMB tags for aircraft use for?
BS EN 4819 on contact memory button tags for use in aircraft is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of CMB tags
- Aerospace and defence industry
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and component
- Product design engineers
- Aeronautical engineers
- Aeronautics and space research bodies
- Regulatory bodies
- National authorities
Why should you use BS EN 4819 - CMB tags for aircraft use?
CMB is a battery-free, read/write electronic data storage tag designed for survival in extreme environments for military, aerospace, utility, transportation and industrial applications.
BS EN 4819 specifies the requirements and configuration of the CMB tags along with guidance on the applicability of CMB for aircraft applications.
If you are a manufacturer of CMB tags used in the aerospace industry, compliance with these requirements can enhance among others, applications such as configuration management, asset tracking, inspection and maintenance for the life of the asset it is attached to.
