EN 320 Comprehensive Cabin Comfort & Acoustic Certification Testing

The European Standard EN 320 defines the requirements for noise and acoustic testing in commercial aircraft cabins. This standard ensures that passenger comfort is maintained by addressing sound levels, vibration, and other factors affecting cabin environment quality.

Our comprehensive testing services are designed to meet all aspects of this standard. We employ state-of-the-art equipment and experienced engineers who understand the nuances of aerospace engineering and acoustics. Our laboratories are equipped with facilities that simulate real-world conditions found in commercial aircraft cabins, allowing us to provide accurate and reliable results.

The testing process involves several stages: initial cabin setup, sound level measurement, vibration analysis, and final certification review. Each stage is critical for ensuring compliance with EN 320 standards. Our team works closely with manufacturers and operators throughout the entire process to ensure all necessary parameters are met.

One of the key aspects of our service is our ability to provide detailed reports that not only meet regulatory requirements but also offer valuable insights into potential improvements for future designs. These reports help clients make informed decisions about design changes, material selection, and overall cabin environment optimization.

Our testing services are particularly beneficial for manufacturers looking to enhance passenger comfort by reducing noise levels or improving acoustic conditions within the cabin. By adhering strictly to EN 320 guidelines, we can ensure that every aspect of the cabin environment meets the highest standards of safety and comfort.

For quality managers and compliance officers responsible for ensuring adherence to international regulations, our services offer peace of mind knowing their products are being tested against recognized industry best practices. This ensures not only regulatory compliance but also enhances brand reputation through superior product performance.

R&D engineers benefit from our detailed testing results which can be used as input data for future projects. With access to real-world test parameters and specimen preparation methodologies, they have all the tools needed to innovate and improve existing designs.

Our comprehensive approach ensures that every element of cabin comfort is considered during the testing process. From initial setup through final certification review, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to meeting EN 320 requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does EN 320 cover?
EN 320 covers the design, installation, and operation of passenger cabins in civil aircraft. It specifies requirements for sound levels, vibration limits, and other factors affecting cabin comfort.
How long does the testing process typically take?
The duration can vary depending on the complexity of the aircraft model being tested. Generally, it takes between 4 to 6 weeks from start to finish.
Is this service suitable for all types of commercial aircraft?
Absolutely! Our testing services cater specifically to commercial aircraft, including both narrow-body and wide-body models. Whether you're working on a new design or seeking certification for an existing model, we have the expertise needed.
Do I need specific documentation before starting?
Yes, please provide any relevant documents such as blueprints, schematics, or previous test results if available. This information helps our team tailor the testing process to your unique requirements.
What kind of equipment is used during these tests?
We utilize advanced acoustic measurement devices, vibration analyzers, and other specialized tools designed specifically for aerospace applications. These instruments allow us to capture precise data necessary for accurate testing.
How often should we consider having our aircraft cabins tested?
It depends on several factors including usage frequency, age of the aircraft, and specific feedback from passengers. Regular testing is recommended at least every two years or whenever significant modifications are made to the cabin configuration.
What happens after testing?
After completing all tests, our team will compile a comprehensive report detailing findings and recommendations. This document serves as proof of compliance with EN 320 standards and provides actionable steps for any necessary adjustments.
Can you assist with interpreting the results?
