## 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.

Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.
