RTCA DO-160
Applied Technical Services’ accredited lab offers environmental testing for avionics components and equipment. We are ISO 9001:2015:2015 registered and ISO 17025:2017 accredited through the A2LA. ATS’ labs are supplied with the latest state-of-the-art technology for extensive testing applications. We comply with the RTCA DO-160 standard for environmental conditions and test procedures for airborne equipment established by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA).
ATS’ testing procedures aid our clients in determining if their components are capable of enduring environmental stresses throughout the duration of their avionic product or parts’ life span. Our engineers and techs have the experience and knowledge to analyze data and administer their findings from any deficiencies in defective design, unsuitable materials, or problematic manufacturing processes.
