Overview

FprEN 3841-101 (prEN 3841-101:2023) - "Aerospace series - Circuit breakers - Test methods - Part 101: Management of the retention of qualification" is a draft CEN/ASD-STAN document that defines requirements for managing the ongoing qualification status of aerospace circuit breakers. The standard focuses on how suppliers, mandated bodies and ASD‑CERT coordinate retention testing, sample representation and reporting to maintain product qualification.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Specifies requirements for the management of the retention of qualification for circuit breakers in aerospace applications.
• Testing responsibility: Suppliers perform retention-of-qualification tests; the mandated body may witness testing.
• Coordination: Testing and sample representation must be coordinated with ASD‑CERT and the mandated body.
• Consequences: Failure to submit to retention testing results in loss of qualification for the affected product.
• Sample size / representation: Sample rating representation and sample size are to be coordinated with ASD‑CERT/mandated body (no fixed sizes are prescribed in this part).
• Test reporting: The supplier must provide the mandated body one certified test report documenting the retention-of-qualification testing.
• Document status and references: The draft contains no normative references or listed terms; it directs users to ISO and IEC online terminology resources (ISO OBP, IEC Electropedia).

Practical applications

• Manufacturers and suppliers of aerospace circuit breakers use this standard to plan and execute retention-of-qualification programs required by contract or regulatory oversight.
• Quality and certification teams rely on the requirements to maintain continuous product qualification and to ensure that test evidence is accepted by mandated bodies.
• Test laboratories and production test facilities implement the coordination and reporting practices described to support witnessed testing and certified test-report delivery.
• Procurement and regulatory authorities can reference this part when specifying supplier obligations for ongoing qualification and audit readiness.

Who should use it

• Aerospace circuit-breaker manufacturers and suppliers
• Certification authorities, mandated bodies and ASD‑CERT stakeholders
• Quality managers, compliance officers and test laboratories involved in aerospace electrical equipment qualification

Related standards

• Part of the EN 3841 aerospace series for circuit breakers; users should consult other parts of the EN 3841 series and relevant ASD‑STAN/CEN documents for complete test-method specifications and full qualification procedures.
