What is DO-160?

DO-160 is a standard defining a set of minimum environmental test conditions (categories) and applicable test procedures for airborne equipment. It is used to qualify airborne equipment for installation on commercial aircraft. DO-160 provides standardized environmental testing for temperature, altitude, humidity, shock, vibration, power input, voltage spike, audio frequency susceptibility, induced signal susceptibility, radio frequency susceptibility, emission of radio frequency energy, lightning induced transient susceptibility, icing, and more. Manufacturers use DO-160 to demonstrate that their equipment can withstand the environmental conditions typically encountered in flight.
