Electrical Wiring Interconnect Systems for Part 21


EASA Part 21 Operational Suitability Data OSD Regulatory Obligations

 

 


This 2-day intensive course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the requirements and responsibilities associated with the design, integration, and substantiation of Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS) under EASA Part 21. The training addresses regulatory frameworks, best practices, and compliance strategies to support both initial airworthiness and continued safety of aircraft systems.

Through practical insights, the course supports the implementation of EWIS design standards that align with CS-25, AMC 20-22, and industry safety objectives. Participants will gain a firm grounding in identifying failure conditions, hazard classifications, and the application of EWIS design and separation principles.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF THIS TRAINING - WHAT WILL I LEARN?


By completing this training, participants will be able to:
• Understand the regulatory context and technical basis for EWIS within EASA Part 21
• Recognise risk factors and safety considerations in EWIS design and integration
• Apply certification principles to ensure compliance with EWIS requirements
• Improve coordination between design, production, and inspection teams regarding electrical system reliability
• Support organisational compliance and readiness for oversight audits

• Interpret key certification requirements for EWIS compliance and documentation
• Recognise common failure modes and degradation factors affecting wiring systems
• Apply design principles for proper routing, separation, and protection of electrical wiring
• Evaluate environmental risks such as heat, vibration, contamination, and mechanical stress
• Understand best practices in splicing, shielding, and connector integrity
• Implement effective mitigation techniques during design and modifications to preserve EWIS integrity
• Promote safe maintenance procedures that prevent inadvertent damage to EWIS during servicing
