Both civil and military products and equipment are often exposed to mechanical and environmental stresses that can cause an impact on their operation. Therefore, it is essential for a company to ensure that their products work perfectly in all environmental conditions.
CELAB provides support of a body for testing and certification recognized within both military and civilian. With considerable experience in the field, CELAB can check the suitability for use of components, equipment and products, giving you the assurance that they meet all the parameters and requirements.
CELAB has a laboratory which performs tests according to the EN 17025.
The laboratory has all the necessary equipment to perform all required tests and is able to arrange setup test even complex on customer specifications.
The advantage of contacting CELAB from the earliest stages of design and product development is that we are able to identify and prevent defects and errors, increasing reliability and security while reducing production costs.
CELAB performs any kinds of tests for a lot of standards (in all versions), both civilian and military.
The main military and aeronautical standards frequently used are:
AECTP 100/200/300/400
DEF STAN 59-411
DEF STAN 00-35
FINABEL
GAM EG 13
MIL BS.3G.100
MIL STD 461
MIL STD 462

DO 160 G
DO-160 is a standard for environmental testing of avionics published by RTCA, the American Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics. DO-160G has been changed and now the guide has been replaced by the DO-357.
On our website you can find just a few excerpts from the document, with the table of contents, because a fee is required. The full text can be purchased from RTCA.
