AEROSPACE AS5498 STANDARD Issued 2001-10 400 Commonwealth Drive, Warrendale, PA 15096-0001 Minimum Operational Performance Specification for Inflight Icing Detection Systems FOREWORD 1. The development of these guidelines was jointly accomplished by EUROCAE Working Group 54 and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) AC-9C through a consensus process. It was accepted by the Council of EUROCAE on June 2001 and SAE on September 2001. 2. SAE, Inc. and EUROCAE are, respectively, US and international not-for-profit making organizations, formed to advance the art and science of aviation and aviation electronic systems for the benefit of the public. 3. Since SAE or EUROCAE are not official agencies of any US or European government, their recommendations may not be regarded as statements of official government policy unless so enunciated by the appropriate government organization, conference of governments, or agency having statutory jurisdiction over any matters to which the recommendations relate. SAE Technical Standards Board Rules provide that: “This report is published by SAE to advance the state of technical and engineering sciences. The use of this report is entirely voluntary, and its applicability and suitability for any particular use, including any patent infringement arising therefrom, is the sole responsibility of the user.” SAE reviews each technical report at least every five years at which time it may be reaffirmed, revised, or cancelled.
