What is BS IEC 62396-3 - Single event effects (SEE) of atmospheric radiation about?
BS IEC 62396-3 is the third part of an international standard used for process management avionics.
BS IEC 62396-3 provides guidance and furthermore it provides necessary requirements for those involved in the design of avionic systems and equipment and the resultant effects of atmospheric radiation-induced single event effects (SEE) on those avionic systems. The outputs of the activities and objectives described in this part of IEC 62396 will become inputs to higher level certification activities and required evidence. BS IEC 62396-3 builds on the initial guidance on the system level approach to single event effects in IEC 62396-1:2012, considers some avionic systems and provides basic methods to accommodate SEE so that system development assurance levels are met.
Who is BS IEC 62396-3 - Single event effects (SEE) of atmospheric radiation for?
BS IEC 62396-3 on Process management for avionics is useful for:
- Aerospace
- Manufacturer of electronic devices
- Defence
- Manufacturer of automotive parts
- Electronic engineer
Why should you use BS IEC 62396-3 - Single event effects (SEE) of atmospheric radiation?
Avionics are useful in communicating and navigating from one place to another place.
BS IEC 62396-3 can be your best guide in identifying and eliminating the design faults and helps in providing appropriate feedback mechanisms. Reliability engineering is helpful in calculating equipment failure rates. System engineering is useful in satisfying the reliability and availability requirements for the function of this equipment. With the help of BS IEC 62396-3, you can categorize the faults into two different categories that are hard and soft faults. The hard is useful in determining the permanent failure of the affected LRU(s) and the soft helps in recovering the equipment with no loss of system functionality or redundancy.
By applying BS IEC 62396-3 you can ensure safety by identifying the failures according to the level of specified electronic systems. This results in improving the quality of these systems designs by using the single event effects (SEE) of atmospheric radiation on those avionic systems.
What’s changed since the last update?
