ASTM F3238-17(2023)(Specification)
Standard Specification for Design and Installation of an Infrared (IR) Searchlight System (USA)

ABSTRACT
This specification prescribes the exposure limits and safe operating guidelines for infrared (IR) radiating devices to be mounted on N registered aircraft or any aircraft which is flown or operated in the United States or its territories. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has established threshold limit values (TLVs) for IR radiation exposure. The TLVs represent a safe exposure limit without physical harm, even with daily exposure. For this specification, the safe exposure time has been set at 100 seconds to reach the TLV. Therefore, the safe operating distance is calculated by determining the maximum output radiation of the device such that 100 seconds of exposure does not exceed one TLV as established by ACGIH.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the manufacturing design, manufacturing quality system and installation requirements for airborne infrared (IR) searchlight equipment, systems, and devices. This specification applies only to IR devices that produce incoherent IR radiation and affixed to an aircraft which is N registered or operated and flown within the United States and its territories.  
1.2 This specification establishes the minimum and maximum system performance and provides guidelines for an operator to develop functional operation requirements to ensure IR safety.  
1.3 This specification covers IR device emissions in support of night vision goggles or other devices such as electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors capable of detecting IR radiation.  
1.4 This specification covers IR device emissions that may pose a hazard to the flight crew, aircraft, and bystanders.  
1.5 This specification covers IR device emissions and related safety controls such as duration, beam width, radiant intensity, and wavelength.  
1.6 This specification encourages an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to maintain a robust quality assurance program and a well-documented configuration control process at the component level and continued through installation at the system level.  
1.7 The OEM shall include the warnings, exposure limitations and corresponding data, and installation instructions described within this specification in their operation and installation manuals. These manuals shall be provided with the product or device.  
1.8 Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.10 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

ASTM F3153-22(Specification)
Standard Specification for Verification of Aircraft Systems and Equipment

ABSTRACT
This specification describes a process for verifying the intended function and compliance with safety objectives of avionics systems by means of system-level testing. This verification process includes functional verification planning, testing, resolution of test failures, and regression analysis and testing. It also covers organizational requirements and the process of product definition (function identification, classification, and specification) as well as the requirements for producing a statement of verification.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification provides a process for performing system level verification of aircraft systems and equipment. It provides a means of compliance that can be used for systems and equipment with software and Airborne Electronic Hardware (AEH) that have not been addressed by traditional development assurance methods.  
1.2 This process can be used to show compliance to regulations that require a demonstration that functionality was implemented as intended, including safety mitigations that address failure conditions for software and AEH aspects for aircraft systems and equipment.  
1.3 While this specification was developed with systems and equipment installed on aircraft certification level 1 and 2 (or class I and II in accordance with Advisory Circular (AC) 23.1309-1) normal category aeroplanes in mind, the content may be more broadly applicable. It is the responsibility of the Applicant to substantiate broader applicability as a specific means of compliance and obtain concurrence for its use from the applicable Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).  
1.4 When using this specification, regulations that govern system safety requirements applicable to the aircraft still apply. In complying with those regulations, additional architectural mitigations such as redundancy, independence, separation, system monitors, etc., may be required in addition to the verification process specified in this specification.  
1.5 The system level verification activities expected by this specification increase as the severity of the failure conditions applicable to or affected by the function increase. Those functions, which have hazardous and catastrophic failure conditions, receive additional activities through this process to provide detailed scrutiny. For normal category aircraft, refer to Practice F3309, Practice F3230, or AC 23.1309-1 for more information on the identification and classification of system failure conditions. Involvement of the applicable CAA personnel or their designees in this system verification process should be discussed early in the project.  
1.6 This verification process specifically addresses definition, identification, and verification of system functions. Processes conducted under this specification may not satisfy all applicable external requirements; additional review on the part of the system developer, integrator, or installer may be required to meet specific requirements or the specified mission of the aircraft, or both.  
1.7 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.9 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

ASTM D5141-23(Test Method)
Standard Test Method for Determining Filtering Efficiency and Flow Rate of the Filtration Component of a Sediment Retention Device

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This test method is used to determine the filtering efficiency and flow rate of the filtration component of a sediment retention device, such as a silt fence, a silt barrier, or a silt curtain, for specific soil tested.  
5.2 This test method may be used for the design of the filtration component of a sediment retention device to meet requirements of regulatory agencies in filtering efficiency or flow rate for the specific soil tested.  
5.2.1 The designer can use this test method to determine the spacing between sediment retention devices.  
5.3 This test method is intended for performance evaluation, as the results will depend on the specific soil evaluated. Unless testing with the default soil is desired, it is recommended that the user or representative perform the test to pre-approve products, as sediment retention device manufacturers are not typically equipped to handle or test soil requirements.  
5.4 This test method provides a means of evaluating the filtration component of sediment retention devices with different soils under various conditions that simulate the conditions that exist in a sediment retention device installation. This test method may be used to simulate several storm events on the same sediment retention device specimen. Therefore, the number of times this test is repeated per specimen is dependent upon the user and the site conditions.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method is used to determine the filtering efficiency and the flow rate of the filtration component of a sediment retention device, such as a silt fence, silt barrier, or inlet protector.  
1.1.1 The results are shown as a percentage for filtering efficiency and cubic metres per square metre per minute (m3/m2/min) or gallons per square foot per minute (gal/ft2/min) for flow rate.  
1.1.2 The filtering efficiency indicates the percent of sediment removed from sediment-laden water.  
1.1.3 The flow rate is the average rate of passage of the sediment-laden water through the filtration component of a sediment retention device.  
1.2 This test method requires several specialized pieces of equipment, such as an integrated water sampler and an analytical balance, or a vacuum filtration system. At the client’s discretion, the test soil is either a site-specific soil or a soil that is representative of a target default gradation.  
1.3 The values stated in SI units are the standard, while the inch-pound units are provided for information. The values expressed in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
