Resonate Testing supports aerospace tests under RTCA DO-160, EUROCAE ED-14G, FAR/CS Part 25, IEC 60068 and more. We provide environmental testing, vibration and shock testing, and aerospace fire testing all under one roof.
Resonate Testing supports qualification, validation and development testing against recognised aerospace, defence and environmental standards.
Aircraft, aerospace and defence equipment must operate reliably when exposed to vibration, shock, temperature extremes, altitude, moisture, fire and other demanding environmental conditions.
Aerospace testing standards provide established methods for evaluating equipment performance and durability before products enter service. These standards are used throughout commercial aviation, defence, UAV, eVTOL and space-related programmes to verify that components and systems can withstand their intended operating environment.
Resonate Testing supports qualification, validation and development testing against recognised aerospace, defence and environmental standards.
Vibration testing evaluates a product’s ability to withstand dynamic loads encountered during transportation, launch, flight and operational service. Testing may simulate aircraft vibration, helicopter rotor effects, engine-induced vibration or transportation environments.
Mechanical shock testing assesses the effects of sudden impacts and transient events such as handling, drops, landings, deployment events and operational shocks.
Temperature testing evaluates performance at elevated and low temperature conditions to verify operational suitability and identify thermal-related failures.
Thermal cycling repeatedly exposes products to changing temperatures to identify issues caused by expansion, contraction and material fatigue.
Humidity testing assesses equipment performance when exposed to moisture-rich environments that may contribute to corrosion, insulation breakdown or performance degradation.
Altitude testing simulates reduced atmospheric pressure encountered at high operating elevations or during aircraft operation.
Salt spray testing evaluates resistance to corrosive environments commonly encountered in marine, coastal and naval operating conditions.
Dust and sand testing assesses the ability of equipment to withstand exposure to airborne particulates that may affect functionality or reliability.
Ingress protection testing evaluates resistance to water exposure, rain and environmental contamination.
Fire testing assesses material and component behaviour under elevated temperatures and flame exposure conditions to support safety and regulatory requirements.
| Standard / Guidance | Primary Focus | Typical Relevance |
|---|---|---|
| RTCA DO-160 | Environmental qualification of airborne equipment | RTCA DO-160 is one of the most widely recognised environmental qualification standards for airborne equipment. It defines environmental test methods and severity levels for avionics and aircraft-installed equipment, covering vibration, shock, temperature, altitude, humidity, waterproofness, salt spray and other operational conditions. |
| EUROCAE ED-14G | Environmental qualification of airborne equipment | EUROCAE ED-14G is the European equivalent of RTCA DO-160 and contains similar environmental qualification requirements for airborne equipment. It is commonly referenced within European aerospace programmes and certification activities. |
| MIL-STD-810 | Military environmental testing and qualification | MIL-STD-810 is a military environmental engineering standard used to evaluate equipment under realistic operational conditions. The standard provides test methods covering vibration, shock, temperature, humidity, rain, sand, dust and other environmental stresses. |
| IEC 60068 | Environmental testing of electrical and electronic equipment | IEC 60068 is an internationally recognised environmental testing standard consisting of numerous individual test methods. It provides procedures for temperature, humidity, vibration, shock and climatic testing and is frequently referenced within commercial and industrial specifications. |
| FAR 25.853 / CS 25.853 | Flammability of aircraft interior materials | FAR 25.853 and CS 25.853 define flammability requirements for aircraft interior materials. These regulations help ensure that materials used within occupied areas of aircraft demonstrate acceptable fire performance characteristics. |
| ISO 2685 | Fire resistance of aircraft equipment and components | ISO 2685 specifies fire test requirements for aerospace equipment exposed to fire hazards associated with aircraft propulsion systems and adjacent zones. The standard is commonly used to assess fire resistance performance in critical aerospace applications. |
