DO-160 Testing

EMA® and our testing partners provide test services in all aspects of EMI/EMC DO-160 Testing as well as many MIL-STD tests. DO-160 validates that airborne electronic and mechanical equipment can withstand extreme environmental and electromagnetic conditions. It is essential for FAA/EASA certification of civil aircraft components. 

The DO-160 chapter tests include:

  • Section 15 – Magnetic Effect – all categories
  • Section 16 – Power Input – all categories up to 100ADC
  • Section 17 – Voltage Spike – all categories
  • Section 18 – Audio Frequency Conducted Susceptibility/ Power
  • Section 19 – Inducted Signal Susceptibility – all categories
  • Section 20 – Radio Frequency Susceptibility (Reverb and Anechoic) – all categories
    • System testing for ARP5583A
  • Section 21 – Emissions of Radio Frequency Energy (Reverb and Anechoic method) – all categories
  • Section 22 – Lightning Induced Transient Susceptibility
    • Any level of pin injection and cable bundle testing 
    • Testing available for equipment-level and full system-level configurations 
    • Ability to execute custom and intermediate test levels that fall between DO-160 and MIL-STD-430 requirements 
    • Large Systems to ARP 5415/5416
  • Section 23 – Lightning Direct Effects
    • All categories including Zone 1A High Voltage
    • Fuel System testing via ignitable mixture and photographic methods
    • ARP 5416
  • Section 25 – Electrostatic Discharge – all categories
    • 15,000V; 330 Ohms; 150pF
    • ESD to Industrial Standards
