What is BS EN 16602-70-06 - Particle and UV radiation testing for space materials about?
BS EN 16602 is a standard that discusses space product assurance. BS EN 16602-70-06 defines the procedures for electromagnetic radiation and charged particles testing of spacecraft materials. These materials include for instance thermal control materials, windows, coatings, and structural materials.
The procedures under BS EN 16602-70-06 include simulation of the environment and the properties to be verified.
The role of BS EN 16602-70-06 is to establish a baseline for the testing specification.
Note 1: The environments covered are electromagnetic radiation and charged particles.
Note 2: BS EN 16602-70-06 excludes electronic components.
Who is BS EN 16602-70-06 - Particle and UV radiation testing for space materials for?
BS EN 16602-70-06 on particle and UV radiation testing for space materials is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of space applications
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Quality control personnel
- Aerospace technical specialists
Why should you use BS EN 16602-70-06 - Particle and UV radiation testing for space materials?
Materials used in space applications need to be evaluated for their behaviour under particle and UV Radiation. As part of this evaluation often exposure to a simulated space environment is performed which can raise questions regarding its accuracy and representativeness.
BS EN 16602-70-06 assists space agencies and space industries in testing the particle and UV radiation at an early stage of a program’s lifetime.
BS EN 16602-70-06 provides you with the requirements, procedures and methodology for UV radiation for space materials.
This assists in UV radiation testing of space materials for evaluating the physical properties changes under specific laboratory simulations that imply a suitable simplification of space degrading factors and generally the reduction of the irradiation time.
Following BS EN 16602-70-06 at the design stage, creates a standardized approach for you and can demonstrate the reliability of adhesives and build trust in their use throughout the aircraft supply chain.
