The standard defining environmental test conditions and procedures for airborne equipment, jointly published by RTCA (as DO-160, currently revision G) and EUROCAE (as ED-14, currently revision G). DO-160 specifies test categories and procedures for temperature, altitude, humidity, vibration, shock, power input, lightning, EMI/EMC, and other environmental conditions that airborne equipment must withstand.
