5 TOPIC 1 Overview f Chinese Technical Standard Order (CTSO) 5

6 CTSO & CTSOA AND GUIDELINES A Chinese Technical Standard Order (CTSO) is a minimum perfrmance standard issued by CAAC fr specified material, parts, r appliances used n civil aircraft, as defined in CCAR-21-R3. And each CTSO is cnsidered as part f CCAR-37. A CTSO Authrizatin (CTSOA) is a CAAC design and prductin apprval issued t a manufacturer f an article that has been fund t meet a specific CTSO. CTSOA des nt mean installatin apprval. CAAC issued the fllwing Administratin Prcedures (APs) which prvide the guidance n design and prductin certificatin prcedure : AP R3 Certificatin Prcedure fr Civil Aviatin Material, Part and Onbard Equipment AP R3 Certificatin and Surveillance Prcedure f Prductin Apprval 6

7 SUMMARY OF CTSO AUTHORIZED ARTICLES By Feb 16, 2015, CAAC has ttally published 79 CTSOs, and issued 81 CTSOA certificates t 57 manufacturers fr 226 types f appliances.

10 TOPIC 2 Use f TSO Authrized Cmpnents in IMA System 1 0

11 CONCEPT OF IMA IMA is a shared set f flexible, reusable, and interperable hardware and sftware resurces that, when integrated, frm a platfrm that prvides services, designed and verified t a defined set f safety and perfrmance requirements, t hst applicatins perfrming aircraft functins.[sectin 1.2, DO-297] Relatinship f IMA design terms (Figure Surce: DO-297) 11

12 IMA RELATED CERTIFICATION GUIDELINES FAA TSO-C RTCA DO CAAC MD-AA CAAC CTSO-C153 (2016) FAA AC FAA AC CAAC Issue Paper EE DO-297 takes the cncept f incremental acceptance, which divides the acceptance int six certificatin tasks in the certificatin prgram. FAA AC recgnizes DO-297 as an acceptable means f cmpliance and prvides explanatins fr IMA certificatin and apprval in accrding with DO-297 as well as TSO-C153. CAAC issued MD-AA and Issue Paper EE-9 t recgnize AC and DO-297 as acceptable guidance and means f cmpliance in C919 prgram. Prpsed CTSO-C153 is dcumented by reference t FAA TSO-C153, and it s expected that CAAC will issue it in first half year f

13 TSO-C153 VS FUNCTIONAL TSO FAA AC specifies tw types f TSO authrized cmpnents in IMA system: TSO-C153 TSO-C153 applies fr Generic hardware mdules Cabinets/racks that hst hardware mdules Sftware that enables electrnic part marking and/r future lading f functinal sftware DO-297 Tasks Cncept Task 4: Aircraft Integratin f IMA System Task 3: IMA System Acceptance Task 2:Hsted Applicatin Acceptance Task 1:Mdule Acceptance Field Laded Platfrm Cmpnents Task 1:Mdule Acceptance Factry Laded Bt Sftware(Firmware) Task 1:Mdule Acceptance Hardware Elements Functinal TSOs Functinal TSOs are nes with the defined aircraft functinality, which are traditinally implemented by separate LRUs.

16 MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD (MPS) CTSO-C153 des nt call ut any industry standards as well as FAA TSO-C153. T btain CTSO-C153 authrizatin, applicants must : Develp and submit an MPS fr each individual hardware element in accrding t the criteria and guidance in Appendix A. Demnstrate the cmpliance t the requirements specified in the MPS. In the MPS, applicants shuld specify : All minimum perfrmance requirements stated in measurable terms. [Table 1, Appendix 1, CTSO-C153 ] Requirements f envirnmental qualificatin tests per RTCA/DO-160D (change 2) [Table 1, Appendix 1, CTSO-C153] Test prcedure t verify that the element perfrms its intended functins bth ver standard cnditins and envirnmental cnditin. When t btain functinal TSO authrizatin with CTSO-C153 authrizatin tgether, the functins which assure that the hardware element crrectly executes the functinal sftware shuld be addressed in the MPS. 16

17 TEST CONFIGURATION Test cnfiguratin shuld be specified in MPS r the separate test prcedure dcuments. CTSO-C153 prvides the minimum test cnfiguratin requirements f the hardware elements. Fr cabinet r rack, the test cnfiguratin shuld include (as a minimum): Cabinet r rack with all integrated cling and pwer supplies Pwer supply mdules (if nt integrated int the cabinet r rack) Prcessing mdules Fr a mdule t be tested, the test cnfiguratin shuld include (as a minimum): Cabinet r rack Pwer supply mdules (if required by the mdule t functin) Prcessing mdules (if required by the mdule t functin) Data cmmunicatin mdules (if nt integrated int the cabinet r rack) Data cmmunicatin (if required by the mdule t functin) Apprpriate cvers r psitin fillers installed in all unused psitins f cabinet/rack (if applicable). Apprpriate cvers r psitin fillers installed in all unused psitins f cabinet/rack (if applicable). 17

18 TEST CONFIGURATION WHEN t use the special purpse test sftware r functinal sftware fr demnstrating the peratin f the hardware element functins, APPLICANTS must verify, validate, and cntrl the cnfiguratin f the sftware t ensure the validity f the testing. WHEN t apply CTSO-C153 authrizatin fr several separate IMA mdules in the meantime, APPLICANTS may elect the apprach f testing the related mdules tgether installed in a cabinet r rack. 18

19 ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION TEST (EQT) Applicants shuld perfrm the EQT per the envirnmental cnditins specified in the MPS. Certain D0-160 EQT items are excluded frm CTSO-C153 as specified in Table 2 f Appendix 1, as they can nly be apprpriately perfrmed WITH: The cnfigured IMA system specified fr the applicable aircraft under TC/ STC. The functinal sftware(s) installed and perating. Per Appendix A f AC , applicants may elect the applicable envirnmental qualificatin tests t meet the requirements f the custmers and expected installatin envirnment. Applicants may use Categry X n any envirnmental test prcedure t indicate that the cmpliance with the MPS has nt been demnstrated under CTSO-C153 tests. 19

20 MARKING LABEL CTSO MARKING MEANS The article deign meets the CAAC CTSO fr which it is marked, The article cnfrms t the apprved design since it was prduced under an apprved quality systems. CTSO MARKING DOES NOT MEAN The article is apprved fr installatin r, The article s design meets airwrthiness regulatins fr a particular prduct (aircraft, engine r prpeller). General Requirement fr CTSO articles: [CCAR ] Manufacturer s name and address Article s name Mdule Number/Part number Serius number(r manufacture date) CTSO number Additinal cnsideratin fr C153 Articles: [CTSO-C153] CTSO authrizatin fr cabinet (rack) nly Separate part numbers fr hardware and sftware Electrnic TSO nameplate 20

21 SUMMARY RTCA/DO-297 and FAA AC prvide the means f cmpliance f IMA certificatin and apprval, and als prvide the guidance n hw t use the TSO certified cmpnents in IMA certificatin apprval, which are fllwed in CAAC certificatin prgram. Applicants f CTSOA shuld cnsider the scpe and requirements fr CTSO- C153 and Functinal TSO as well as nn-tso functins. Applicants fr CTSO-C153 authrizatin shuld develp and submit MPS fr each individual hardware element, which shuld meet the specific requirements f CTSO-C153 and AC (e.g. test cnfiguratin, DO-160 test items, marking label.) 21
