Two Categories
No Hazard Possibly Hazardous Misleading
19
No Hazard
Equipment poses no hazard to the aircraft, crew or passengers
Loss of the equipment/function Equipment malfunction
Equipment does not pose a hazard to other aircraft or personnel on the ground No need for software and complex electronic hardware design assurance (e.g. Level B)
20
Equipment performance verified in operational environments Operational limitations and placards may be required
21
Installation Assessment
System safety and environmental assessment
To identify and categorize any potential hazards To limit the scope of the certification and the environmental, ground and flight testing
