ANNEX III - CATEGORY 9 — AEROSPACE AND PROPULSION

9B - Test, Inspection and Production Equipment

EU Regulation No 267/2012

Environmental chambers as follows, usable for the systems specified in 1.A. or 19.A. or the subsystems specified in 2.A. or 20.A.: a. Environmental chambers having all of the following characteristics: 1. Capable of simulating any of the following flight conditions: a. Altitude equal to or greater than 15 km; or b. Temperature range from below –50 °C to above 125 °C; and 2. Incorporating, or designed or modified to incorporate, a shaker unit or other vibration test equipment to produce vibration environments equal to or greater than 10 g rms, measured ‘bare table’, between 20 Hz and 2 kHz while imparting forces equal to or greater than 5 kN; Technical Notes: 1. Item 15.B.4.a.2. describes systems that are capable of generating a vibration environment with a single wave (e.g. a sine wave) and systems capable of generating a broad band random vibration (i.e. power spectrum). 2. In Item 15.B.4.a.2., designed or modified means the environmental chamber provides appropriate interfaces (e.g. sealing devices) to incorporate a shaker unit or other vibration test equipment as specified in this Item. b. Environmental chambers capable of simulating all of the following flight conditions: 1. Acoustic environments at an overall sound pressure level of 140 dB or greater (referenced to 2 × 10 –5 N/m 2 ) or with a total rated acoustic power output of 4 kW or greater; and 2. Any of the following: a. Altitude equal to or greater than 15 km; or b. Temperature range from below –50 °C to above 125 °C
