ARP4754, Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) ARP4754B (Guidelines for Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems), is a guideline from SAE International, dealing with the development processes which support certification of Aircraft systems, addressing "the complete aircraft development cycle, from systems requirements through systems verification."[1] Revision A was released in December 2010. It was recognized by the FAA through Advisory Circular AC 20-174 published November 2011.[2][3] EUROCAE jointly issues the document as ED–79.
Revision B was released in December 2023 and inherits the "mandates" conferred through FAA advisory circulars AC 25.1309-1 and AC 20-174 as acceptable means of demonstrating compliance with 14 CFR 25.1309 in the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airworthiness regulations for transport category aircraft. This revision also harmonizes with international airworthiness regulations such as European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) CS–25.1309.
- ARP4754 Revision B is an interim release meant to expedite consistency with ARP4761 Revision A, "Safety Assessment Process", which was also released in December 2023.
- While the general principles of FDAL/IDAL assignment and safety assessment process were retained in ARP4754B/ED-79B, the details of these activities and process were transferred to ARP4761A/ED-135.
- Pending major adjustments to ARP4754 are deferred to Revision C.[4][5]

On September 30, 2011, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published Advisory Circular (AC) 20–174, entitled Development of civil aircraft systems. AC 20–174 recognizes ARP4754A as 'an acceptable method for establishing a development assurance process.'

All of these [advisory circulars] elevates it from a 'guideline' to a 'mandatory' status, which the new version ARP4754B inherits. ... ARP4754B primarily focuses on alignment with the recently released ARP4761A, indicating that there are no significant changes in development principles compared to ARP4754A. The core of the development process remains consistent, and we expect some big changes in the forthcoming version, ARP4754C.

Revision B is primarily focused on the necessary updates to align its contents with ARP4761A/ED-135. There were extensive discussions within S-18/WG-63 on the need to limit scope of this revision versus expanding its contents to include emerging system development techniques in use by the industry. Given the timeframe of ARP4761A/ED-135 publication, and the necessity to maintain consistency between both ARP4754B/ED-79B and ARP4761A/ED-135, the first option, limiting the scope, was chosen and suggested changes that would further expand ARP4754/ED-79 contents were deferred for a new Revision C. As a result, while the general principles of FDAL/IDAL assignment were retained in ARP4754B/ED-79B, the details of FDAL/IDAL assignment activities were transferred to ARP4761A/ED-135. The same approach was adopted for all safety assessment process contents in ARP4754B/ED-79B.
