WG-31
System Engineering

Electromagnetic hazards

The primary scope of WG-31 is to prepare technical standards, specifications, guides and any other material required to support the development of regulation and the certification of aircraft in relation to Electromagnetic hazards such as lightning protection, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF) etc.
