The PIA AAD Design & Testing Report Format is regarded as fulfilled when the manufacturer releases the
following test report about his product.
With the following report procedure, every manufacturer has their own choice to define the extent and kind of
requirements concerning their particular unit. The requirement regarding quality of each product results from
the self-defined test requirements. Each manufacturer is free to decide which of the actual tests and quality
control parameters they want to use in the published test report.
The self-chosen quality requirements should be documented.
The form of the description should follow a general format. In each section, the manufacturer should describe:
- the goal of the test, e.g. recognizing of the correct activation altitude, checking of correct function
under elevated temperatures, etc.
- how many units have been utilized to perform the test in question
- the test arrangement
- what has been measured/tested?
- how has it been measured/tested?
- what test equipment has been utilized?
Each test report shall contain references to all sections, even if they are not recommended. All sections
should be listed even when no data is presented. In this case a statement such as not applicable, not
recommended, not appropriate, not valid, or no statement on this point should be included. In the event
there is no reference to any particular section, the Para NewsBrief Editor will include the missing section with
