In this video, ParaZero explores their journey to obtain ASTM F3322-22 certification for their SafeAir Mavic 3 system. The certification process involved in-depth testing to ensure the highest safety standards for their drone systems.
ASTM F3322-22 is a standard developed by ASTM International, a globally recognized organization with over 125 years of experience in creating international standards. This standard focuses on parachute deployment for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS), safe descent during emergencies.
The testing process included various scenarios:
- Hovering and full forward speed tests
- Full power cut and critical motor failure simulations
- Shock load tests at high altitudes
These tests aimed to evaluate the system’s ability to detect flight anomalies and deploy the parachute quickly and effectively. The SafeAir system reportedly demonstrated its capability to respond faster than any other system on the market, using both autonomous and manual deployment methods.
To ensure the integrity of the testing process, an independent third-party agency oversaw all scenarios. Upon successful completion of the tests, the certification was granted.
The ASTM F3322-22 certification is significant for several reasons:
- The sUAS meets regulatory requirements
- The quality and reliability of ParaZero’s drone safety systems is validated
- For certain drones like the DJI Mavic 3, the certification may enable waivers for flying over people under new FAA regulations
ParaZero’s commitment to innovation and safety continues to drive advancements in drone recovery technology, contributing to safer skies for all.
