A Technical Standard Order (TSO) is a minimum performance standard for
specified materials, parts and appliances used on civil aircraft. When a
company is authorized to manufacture a material, part or appliance to a TSO
standard, this is referred to as TSO authorization. When a company receives a
TSO authorization, it is assured that the product meets these minimums in
both design and production. Bose Corporation meets all, and exceeds many,
TSO requirements. Receiving a TSO authorization is not an approval to install
and use the authorized article in the aircraft.
Markings on or inside the control module and under the side pad of the headset
indicate TSO certification.
Bose supports the recommendation in the InFO memo that operators should
thoroughly evaluate headsets for performance in their own aircraft. Each aircraft
type has unique acoustic qualities, and Bose strongly believes the best way to
evaluate performance is through real-world testing.

headsets and has been thoroughly tested in many di erent aircraft. Civilian and
military pilots have accumulated millions of flight hours during the 25 plus years
our products have been in the field.
