ASD-STAN/D 12/WG 1 - Seats and Inflight Entertainment

This document defines the inspection rules and the cosmetic acceptance criteria for surfaces of aircraft cabin equipment. Surfaces will be considered under the aspects of technical feasibility of the industrial design.
This document outlines the framework between airlines, supplier and OEMs with regard to cosmetic issues.
This document aims to:
a)   provide the supplier or manufacturer with quality criteria, which need to be met during the production, testing- and quality-inspection-process.
b)   guide airline-, OEM- and supplier-quality assurance with a description of cosmetic standards for following inspections:   -   supplier internal QA inspection;
-   first article inspection;
-   source inspection;
-   incoming inspection;
-   final assembly line, cabin inspection;
-   customer presentation.

This document describes the application of anthropometric data for the dimensioning of aircraft passenger seats. The focus is on the use of statistical parameters of anthropometrical measurements as given in CEN ISO/TR 7250 2 and similar sources. Even if methods described in this document might be applicable for feasibility and safety issues the scope of this document is design for comfort.
The aim of this document is to give advice to designers to include methods of human-centred design into the design of aircraft seats.

The weight for cabin equipment is an important topic in the aviation business. The cabin equipment weight has a direct impact on the payload of the aircraft, operation cost and revenue of the airlines. Due to the number of aircraft seats, seats are one of the major weight drivers in the cabin. At this time, a lot of seat weights are used without any clear definition, e.g. allowable max. weight, certified weight, defined weight. For the definition of each customer specific cabin, it is important to get comparable seat weights. Aircraft seats are very different with regard to seat envelope dimensions and integrated features and options. For a weight calculation and product comparison, it is very helpful to get comparable weight information based on a standard weight.
The aim of this European Standard is to define a clear definition for the different weight information and a baseline for a seat weight calculation to get comparable seat weights for seat brochures and marketing reasons.

This European Standard specifies requirements and measurement methods for the assessment of passenger living space and comfort. Its aim is to improve the passenger comfort quality of aircraft cabins and provide measurement methods to compare cabin seat layouts and seats.
