Environmental Tet per WS20130 since the CCAs inside will have already gone through environmental testing per the CCA drawings? If so, what should the MEB and HEB top level assembly be classified as in
Table 1: PET ASSEMBLY ENVIRONMENTS on sheet 3 of WS20130? Are they Assemblies, Circuit
Card Assembly LRUs, Power Supply LRUs, Electromechanical LRUs, or Indicator Panel LRUs?
Response: The MEB and HEB are Electromechanical LRU’s. This requires Temperature Shock and
Random Vibration. Note 2 does apply to the MEB and HEBs. The MEB and HEB are not required to undergo Temperature Shock at the LRU level if the CCA’s have been environmentally stress screened to the temperature shock requirements of 3.1.1 of WS20130.
