DO-254 Compliance Audits

Ensure your Avionics hardware meets DO-254 compliance seamlessly with expert guidance.

Expert FAA/EASA DO-254 Compliance Audits

DO-254 Compliance Audits are essential for ensuring Avionics hardware meets the stringent objectives defined in DO-254. Unlike final certification audits, which typically occur near project completion for formal regulatory approval, compliance audits are conducted at multiple stages throughout the hardware development lifecycle. These periodic assessments serve as crucial checkpoints, verifying that your processes, documentation, and hardware design remain aligned with DO-254 standards.

ConsuNova’s DO-254 Compliance Audits offer industry-leading insights and assessments from our FAA and EASA Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) and Compliance Verification Engineers (CVEs). Our structured audit process evaluates every critical area of your hardware project to ensure comprehensive compliance with DO-254 projects of any specialty or functional emphasis.
