scope:

The purpose of this ASD-STAN Technical Report is to define generic requirements applicable to test organisations performing tests necessary to demonstrate compliance with the applicable type-certification basis and environmental protection requirements (i.e. certification tests).

It provides a means of compliance to EASA Part 21 DOA applicable requirements and/or Military equivalent applicable requirements (e.g. EMAR 21) in:

- identifying the applicable DOA regulatory requirements;

- identifying necessary capabilities and providing guidance for assessment and surveillance;

- describing the end to end test process from test specification to retention of test data;

- addressing the DOA requirements for each step of the process.

The requirements of the present ASD-STAN Technical Report should be cascaded to the test organisation by the design organisation depending on the level of involvement of the test organisation. The requirements of the present ASD-STAN Technical Report maybe complemented by other ASD-STAN Technical Report dedicated to specific kinds of test organisations (e.g. Flammability test organisations).
