Boeing D6-16050 Electromagnetic Compatibility Tests

In the Boeing D6-16050 standard, a Boeing Safety Standard, electromagnetic compatibility requirements of electrical and electronic equipment used in the production of aircraft are explained and test methods are defined. The electromagnetic compatibility tests in question in the RTCA DO-160G standard of environmental conditions and test procedures for airborne equipment are:

• Boeing D6-16050-2 Electromagnetic interference control requirements
• Boeing D6-16050-4 Electromagnetic interference control tests
• Boeing D6-16050-5 Electromagnetic interference control tests for composite aircraft

In general, environmental tests include the following tests:

• Climatic tests: temperature, humidity, salt spray, liquid pollution, altitude, thermal vacuum, fungus, pressure
• Mechanical tests: vibration, shock, acceleration, static load
• Electrical tests: electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic compatibility (EMU), Electrostatic discharge (ESD), high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF), lightning
• Radiation tests: total dose, proton, heavy ion, californium
• Acoustic tests: acoustic noise, transmission losss
