EN 4199-002:2006

Overview

The EN 4199-002:2006 standard, part of the Aerospace series, serves as an essential index of product standards for bonding straps used in aircraft. Developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and prepared under the European Association of Aerospace Manufacturers (AECMA-STAN), this document provides a comprehensive list of all related parts within the EN 4199 series required for the production and standardization of bonding straps in the aerospace industry.

Bonding straps are critical components that ensure reliable electrical grounding and bonding in aircraft systems. This indexing standard facilitates manufacturers, quality assurance professionals, and aerospace engineers in quickly identifying the specific parts of the EN 4199 standards relevant to different designs and manufacturing requirements of bonding straps.

Key Topics

• Scope: Covers an indexed listing of all parts within the EN 4199 family related to bonding straps for aircraft, streamlining access to technical specifications and product standards.
• Normative references: Includes a detailed cross-reference to other parts of the EN 4199 series, such as:
  • EN 4199-001: Technical specifications for bonding straps.
  • EN 4199-003 to EN 4199-009: Product standards for various types of bonding straps and assemblies, including flat braided, round, insulated, copper, tin or nickel plated, and aluminium conductors.
• Standardization compliance: Highlights conformity requirements from February 2006, mandating the withdrawal of conflicting national standards across EU member countries.
• Multilingual availability: Published officially in English, French, and German, with provisions for translation into other languages by CEN members.
• Patent considerations: Draws attention to potential patent rights related to elements within the standards.

Applications

• Aerospace manufacturing: Assists manufacturers in developing bonding strap products that meet strict aerospace industry standards to ensure safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.
• Aircraft maintenance and repair: Enables technical teams to identify and verify bonding strap standards applicable to inspection, replacement, and modification tasks.
• Design engineering: Provides aerospace design engineers with a structured reference to select suitable bonding strap types based on environmental and operational requirements (temperature ranges, conductor materials, plating, insulation).
• Quality control and certification: Facilitates audits and certification processes by providing a clear framework listing all relevant bonding strap standards that must be met.
• Supply chain management: Helps procurement specialists ensure that purchased bonding straps conform to the European aerospace regulatory framework.

Related Standards

EN 4199-002:2006 is part of a comprehensive set of standards governing bonding straps for aerospace applications. Other parts include:

• EN 4199-001: Technical specifications for bonding straps.
• EN 4199-003: Flat braided conductor bonding strap assemblies, copper/tin or copper/nickel plated, temperature rating from −65 °C to 260 °C.
• EN 4199-004: Product standards for round bonding straps with copper plating options.
• EN 4199-005 to EN 4199-006: Standards for flat and round braid copper conductors.
• EN 4199-007 to EN 4199-009: Insulated bonding strap assemblies using copper and aluminium conductors.

These interrelated standards collectively ensure the aerospace industry achieves consistent quality levels for bonding straps that fulfill electrical bonding and grounding requirements.
