AEEC • The Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee (AEEC) is an international standards organization, comprised of representatives from the major world airlines. • Their main activity is the standardization of avionics form, fit, function and interfaces. • The most widely known AEEC standards are ARINC documents
ARINC • ARINC is a private company that provides • Communications and information processing services for the aviation and travel industries • The AEEC standards are generally administered by ARINC
Cabin Equipment Interfaces (CEI) • The CEI is the AEEC subcommittee that develops the cabin standards • The objective of the CEI committee is to define standard interfaces and design guidelines for cabin equipment • The primary CEI standards series is ARINC 628 - Founded in 1992
