RTCA DO-160G defines minimum standard environmental test conditions and test procedures for airborne equipment. It is used with applicable equipment performance standards to evaluate airborne systems under conditions such as temperature, altitude, humidity, shock, vibration, waterproofness, fluids susceptibility, sand and dust, salt spray, power input, lightning, icing, electrostatic discharge, and fire resistance.
The document is intended to support environmental qualification and compliance testing for avionics and related airborne equipment. It also includes appendices for environmental test identification, membership, and change coordinators.
Application Scope: Airborne equipment qualification, avionics environmental testing, aircraft system compliance, and related certification support.
