BS EN 2591-325:2002

What is BS EN 2591-325 - Ice resistance of electrical and optical connections about?   

BS EN 2591-325 is a European standard that discusses elements of the electrical and optical connection used in aerospace applications. 

BS EN 2591-325 specifies two methods for measuring the ability of a connector to resist ice. 

BS EN 2591-325 shall be used together with EN 2591-100. 

Who is BS EN 2591-325 - Ice resistance of electrical and optical connections for?  

BS EN 2591-325 on ice resistance of electrical and optical connections is useful for:  

• Manufacturers of aerospace electric equipment and components  
• The Aerospace and Defence industry  
• Product design engineers  
• National authorities 
• Regulatory bodies 
• Certification bodies  

Why should you use BS EN 2591-325 - Ice resistance of electrical and optical connections?   

When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance, and durability are crucial. 

BS EN 2591-325 provides the best industry guidance on verifying connectors’ resistance to ice, to demonstrate whether the components are safe, reliable and fit for purpose. 

As a result, you can determine the capability of the connector to perform in extremely low temperatures, without causing failures and impairing the efficiency of the end-application. 

If you are a manufacturer of electrical and optical connections such as connectors used in the aerospace industry, compliance with the tests can ensure your products meet the performance needs of the end-application.  

By adopting BS EN 2591-325, you can demonstrate the reliability of electrical and optical connections and build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
