To see more standards that are similar to those above, please see our page Document Center List of Standards on Aerospace Electric Equipment and Systems.

You'll especially want to pay attention to the new IEC/TS 62647-21.  Compliance with Rohs (the lead-free directive for the European Union) is a major event in the world of aerospace and electronics.  The entire 62647 series is being developed to support this transition, so if this is impacting your business, rely on Document Center to keep you up-to-date as the documents in the series are released.
