ABD0100 Airbus Environmental Conditions and Testing Requirements

ABD0100 Airbus Environmental Conditions and Testing Requirements

The AB0100 standard developed for Airbus aircraft describes environmental engineering considerations and requirements for laboratory testing. This standard focuses on the effects on materials of the environmental stresses Airbus aircraft encounter during their lifetime and covers the material acquisition planning and engineering aspects of environmental conditions. This standard describes the environmental adaptation process that results in realistic material designs and test methods based on material system performance requirements.

ABD0100 Airbus Environmental Conditions and Testing Requirements

Mainly, the ABD0100 standard has two substandards:

  • ABD0100.1.2 Environmental conditions and test requirements associated with qualification and other standards for advanced test equipment rentals
  • ABD0100.1.8 Electrical installation (MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-704C and MIL-STD-704F standards)

The US0100 standard is to adapt the environmental design and test limits of a material used in Airbus production to the environmental conditions that this material will encounter during its service life, and to create laboratory test methods that simulate the effects of various environments.

On the other hand, the ABD0100 standard includes the transient voltage characteristics and steady state limits of 28 Volt direct current electrical power circuits in these aircraft. It also describes the requirements and characteristics of aircraft electrical power supplied at the input terminals of electrical utility equipment. This standard provides test methods and procedures for determining the compatibility of air-use equipment with defined electrical power specification requirements. However, electromagnetic interference and voltage spikes are not covered by this standard.

In short, the AB0100 standard takes into account many environmental effects such as vibration, corrosion, acceleration, sand, dust, storm, high pressure, low pressure and so on, within the scope of material environmental impact assessment. All environmental impacts that the aircraft encounters while in the air and on the ground are handled in terms of operation and performance.

Meanwhile, one of the standards taken as a basis when designing the ABD0100 standard is the RTCA DO-160G environmental conditions and test procedures standard for airborne equipment. This standard specifies procedures and environmental testing criteria for testing airborne equipment for the entire range of aircraft, from general aviation aircraft and helicopters to jumbo jets.provides. Tests covered also include vibration, power input, radio frequency sensitivity, lightning and electrostatic discharge.

Our organization also provides Airbus environmental testing services within the scope of AB0100 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
