Airworthiness Requirements and Support

At CarlisleIT, we believe that ensuring the airworthiness of our products is just as important as designing and building them. That is why we have gathered together a certification team of dedicated designers, engineers, and DERs to generate the appropriate reports and documentation to make sure that every integrated shelf and rack assembly complies with FAA and aerospace industry airworthiness standards.

Based on a core competency infrastructure, our dedicated team includes FAA certified DERs to ensure systematic design data development, review, and validation. The following list will give you an idea of the reports and documents that are needed to substantiate and demonstrate the compliance of CarlisleIT products.
