Aerospace series - Environmental testing - Durability of the displays by general usage
This document provides a series of testing methods to determine the resistance of the digital display during general usage in an aircraft cabin. The document applies to any passive and interactive displays. It includes also dirt affinity and cleanability.
The testing methods include the determination of the durability of touchscreen surfaces, signing pads and general displays against human fingertip and hand abrasion, fingerprint and dirt affinity under the usage by humans as can occur during everyday operation inside an aircraft cabin. Additionally, the resistance against general abrasion, scratch and mar on the displays as well as the resistance study against the routine cleaning procedure conducted inside the aircraft is defined.
The test methods are also suitable to test the durability of a display surface against all low and high dynamic strains.

Série aérospatiale - Essais d'environnement - Durabilité des affichages d'utilisation générale
Le présent document fournit une série de méthodes d’essais permettant de déterminer la résistance des affichages numériques d’utilisation générale dans une cabine d’aéronef. Ce document s’applique à tous les affichages passifs et interactifs. Il traite également de l’affinité avec la saleté et de la nettoyabilité.
Les méthodes d’essais visent, entre autres, à déterminer la durabilité des surfaces d’écrans tactiles, des pavés de signature et des affichages généraux soumis à l’abrasion par le doigt et la main de l’homme, et l’affinité avec les traces de doigts et la saleté que peut impliquer une utilisation de ces éléments au quotidien par les personnes à l’intérieur d’une cabine d’aéronef. Par ailleurs, la résistance à l’abrasion générale, à la rayure et l’éraflure des affichages, ainsi que la résistance à la procédure courante de nettoyage à l’intérieur de l’aéronef sont également analysées.
Les méthodes d’essais sont également adaptées à l’évaluation de la durabilité de la surface d’un affichage face à toutes les contraintes dynamiques faibles et élevées.

1 Scope
This document provides a series of testing methods to determine the resistance of the digital display
during general usage in an aircraft cabin. The document applies to any passive and interactive displays.
It includes also dirt affinity and cleanability.
The testing methods include the determination of the durability of touchscreen surfaces, signing pads
and general displays against human fingertip and hand abrasion, fingerprint and dirt affinity under the
usage by humans as can occur during everyday operation inside an aircraft cabin. Additionally, the
resistance against general abrasion, scratch and mar on the displays as well as the resistance study
against the routine cleaning procedure conducted inside the aircraft is defined.
The test methods are also suitable to test the durability of a display surface against all low and high

4 General test description
4.1 General
The six tests scenarios for testing the durability of the displays in cabin interior are defined in 4.2 to 4.7.
4.2 Fingertips and hand abrasion test
The surface under test shall be repeatedly stressed by the impact and rubbing movement of a test
piston. The tip of the test piston due to its elasticity shall be deformed in such a way as to fit the surface
under test. The material, hardness, roughness and shape of the piston, the movement and the angle of
action shall be chosen in such a way that the pressure and friction executed by a human fingertip or by
the ball of a thumb are simulated.
To obtain reproducible conditions of friction and wear, a piece of fabric shall be placed between the
piston and the surface under test either as a cover of the piston or as a curtain, hanging between piston
and surface. The testing fabric, depending on its specified property, can contain additional ingredients
as a lubricant. Therefore, depending on the relevant specification, this fabric can either be used in a dry
condition (dry test and semi dry test) or additionally wetted with a specified test liquid by means of an

automatic feedthrough if the test is intended to cover the influence of fluid contamination as may occur
in normal use (wet test).
Depending on the three different motions of human fingertips on the display, namely touch, swipe and
zoom motions, the abrasion patterns are described in Figure 1, see [1].
Key
1 Impact on the sample surface = Putting on the fingertip when using display = short tap or touch motion
2 Friction path with defined force and speed/transition between static and sliding friction = Swipe movement
3 Reaching the end point of the friction movement; then the test cylinder moves back to the starting
position = Finger stops the swipe movement
4 Short area where the test piston moves bidirectionally on the surface = Retraction of the piston
Figure 1 — Fingertip abrasion zone and movement pattern
The complete test procedure for testing the resistance against fingertip and hand abrasion for cabin
touch screens shall be done according to prEN 4860. The complete test fabric options and test media
options are described in Annex C and in prEN 4860.
Additional speed options, differing from the 60 mm/s ± 5 mm/s specified in prEN 4860, such as
200 mm/s shall be used to simulate realistic stress conditions.
4.3 Fingerprint affinity
This test method serves as securing of a consistent implementation for the attachment of a fingerprint
on surfaces of displays.
The test medium shall be attached on the surface of a display surface fitting by the help of a silicon
stamp, using a reproducible amount and
