The introduction of commercial aircraft built with increas-ingly complex composite materials and configurations has led aircraft manufacturers, their suppliers and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to review the test methods used to determine fire safet-y. A particular focus has been placed on reexamining the flammability performance cri-teria established by FAA 14 CFR 25.853, which governs mate-rials used in aircraft interiors. 

Safety standards acknowledge the economic need to employ previously developed systems, functions and components [12] [13] [14] [15]. In civil aerospace for example, systems may be reused across different aircraft types, without the need for additional assessment, provided that evidence of similar design, installation, application and operation can be produced [15]. Otherwise, the safety assessment process should be performed to examine the impact of the reusable systems on the aircraft functions. Also in civil aerospace, particularly for airborne software, the American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) created an Advisory Circular (AC), offering means to satisfy the requirements of the aerospace software guidance DO-178B regarding the use of reusable software components [16].

The aviation industries call most the aerospace-grade non-OEM parts Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) parts. PMA is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design-and-production approval. It is a governmental certification system that marks a part that meets FAA regulatory performance requirements. A PMA part is an FAA-certificated part that satisfies FAA safety regulations and the fabrication inspection system. Many PMA parts are reinvented using reverse engineering.
