Background

    Based on data industry has presented to the FAA, in-seat video 
system designs have matured to the point that dedicated testing would 
not be required per 14 CFR 25.601. Industry may use design review as a 
method of compliance to show that the system is non-hazardous. This 
policy recommends analysis as an added method of compliance, in lieu of 
test, and should clarify questions that have arisen regarding 
previously released policy on this subject.

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on November 10, 2004.
Ali Bahrami,
Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
