ED-14G -- Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment

Authority

EUROCAE

Applicability

Environmental qualification of airborne equipment. EUROCAE identifies ED-14G as the latest published ED-14 revision; EASA states it is technically equivalent to RTCA DO-160G.

Plain-English Explainer

What it is

EUROCAE ED-14G defines environmental test conditions and procedures used to qualify airborne equipment against conditions representative of aircraft operation.

Relationship to DO-160G

EASA states that ED-14G is technically equivalent to RTCA DO-160G and may be used where the relevant AMC references DO-160G. PropulsionWatch therefore treats the two documents as parallel EUROCAE/RTCA standards rather than separate technical frameworks.

Why it matters

Electric aircraft depend on power electronics, battery-management equipment, motor controllers, flight computers and other electronics that must demonstrate environmental robustness.
