What minimum performance standard must a torso restraint system meet to be eligible for ETSO-C114 A1 marking?

The torso restraint system must meet the standards set forth in SAE Aerospace Standard AS 8043 'Aircraft Torso Restraint System', dated March 1986.

Which environmental test standards are required for ETSO-C114 A1 torso restraint systems?

The required environmental standards are ASTM G23-81 (light-exposure, carbon-arc type), ASTM B117-19 (salt spray fog testing), and ASTM D756-78 (weight and shape changes of plastics under accelerated service conditions).

Which test methods are specified for evaluating colorfastness of torso restraint systems under ETSO-C114 A1?

The specified test methods are AATCC Standard Test Method 8-1981 (Colorfastness to Crocking), AATCC Standard Test Method 107-1981 (Colorfastness to Water), Federal Test Method Standard 191 Method 5906, and the AATCC Chart for Measuring Transference of Color.

What is the applicability date for torso restraint systems to be identified with ETSO-C114 A1 marking?

The ETSO applies to torso restraint systems manufactured on or after the date of this ETSO (the date of ETSO-C114 A1, as per Decision 2013/012/R).
