55.180.30 - Air mode containers, pallets and nets

This document specifies the design, performance and testing requirements for "Cargo Stopper" air cargo restraint accessories with a 22 250 N (5 000 lbf) rated load capacity, to be used in conjunction with air cargo restraint straps meeting ISO 16049-1 (TSO/ETSO ̶ C172), or air cargo restraint slings meeting ISO 20291-1, with the same rated load. Cargo stopper devices designed to this document are intended to be used in either of the following typical instances: a) to ensure restraint/tie-down of...view more

ISO 13355:2016 specifies a method to carry out a vertical random vibration test on a complete, filled transport package(s) and unit loads using random excitation[1]. This document also provides methods for assessing the performance of a package in terms of its strength or the protection that it offers to its contents when it is subjected to vertical vibration. The test discussed in this document can be performed either as a single test to investigate the effects of vertical vibration, or as a pa...view more

ISO 4118:2016 covers the design, performance and testing requirements for lower deck containers for use in main line aircraft which do not require airworthiness approval/certification when loaded under the conditions of compartment restraint and/or where applicable according to the aircraft type's approved Weight and Balance Manual, ISO 8097 or ISO 21100 equivalent base plate restraint for these containers. Aircraft Weight and Balance Manuals require non-certified containers be constructed then ...view more

ISO 19281:2016 the minimum design and performance criteria and testing methods of passive fire resistant containers (FRCs) for carriage on aircraft main deck, to be used on either of the following: a) in those cargo compartments of civil transport aircraft where they constitute one means of complying with applicable airworthiness regulations; b) on a voluntary basis, when deemed appropriate by operators to improve fire protection in aircraft cargo compartments where airworthiness regulations do ...view more

ISO 10327:2014 covers the minimum design and operational testing requirements for general purpose, base-restrained containers exclusively intended for the main or upper deck cargo compartments of main line civil transport aircraft, capable of being used by either airlines or shippers and requiring an airworthiness authority approval (certification). ISO 10327:2014 does not cover the performance requirements and ultimate load testing parameters for airworthiness authorities approval (certificatio...view more

ISO 6517:2013 covers the minimum design and operational testing requirements for general purpose base-restrained containers exclusively intended for the lower deck compartments of main line civil transport aircraft, capable of being used by either airlines or shippers and requiring airworthiness authority approval (certification). ISO 6517:2013 does not cover the performance requirements and ultimate load testing parameters for approval by airworthiness authorities (certification), which are cov...view more

ISO 16412:2005 specifies utilization guidelines to be applied when preparing air cargo pallets for carriage on board civil transport aircraft. It identifies the various concerns to be taken into consideration to ensure flight safety, and provides recognized industry standard methods to achieve it. 16412:2005 is applicable to any certified air cargo pallet built up from either a single or a number of pieces of commercial cargo, intended to be loaded on lower, main or upper deck of a civil transpo...view more

This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements and test conditions for certified cargo unit load devices to be installed in certified aircraft. It covers pallets, nets and containers intended for use with the following classes of aircraft loading and restraint systems: _ Class I: Unit load device restraint in conformity with all flight and ground load conditions, including 9g forward emergency loading conditions. _ Class II: All other unit load device restraints.

This International Standard specifies the minimum operational requirements for thermal efficiency to ensure that perishable cargoes in insulated standard airborne containers are kept in prime condition during the ground handling and air transportation cycle for a maximum period of 36 h. It is applicable to all insulated air cargo containers irrespective of their size and designation. It does not provide details concerning refrigerated or heated containers and/or the methods and equipment used to...view more

Describes the minimum safety requirements to be met by containers used to transport cargo by civil transport aircraft under normal pressure equalization during climb and descent and under emergency pressure equalization in the event of a sudden depressurization.

Specifies dimensional, structural and environmental requirements for nets used to secure cargo on aircraft pallets meeting the requirements of ISO 4117 or ISO 4171. Establishes six basic sizes of pallet nets.

The document establishes dimensional, structural and environmental requirements for pallets used to transport cargo in aircraft using nets meeting the requirements of ISO 4170. Includes design loads, operational criteria, resistance to local indentation, to bridging and resting and to impact loads, ball load capacity, performance on ball units, abrasion resistance for plastic-coated or magnesium-base materials, execution of tests and markings.

Gives dimensional, structural and environmental requirements for 2,44 m wide pallets to be used in freighter versions of high-capacity fixed wing aircraft and is intended to be compatible with the 2,44 × 2,44 m cross-section containers described in International Standards for air-land cargo containers. Pallet nets used in conjunction with these pallets are described in ISO 4115.

Specifies the design and performance for two types of unit load devices; type 1: airworthiness certified structural unit (complying with ISO 8097), type 2: non-certified unit.

Lays down the dimensions and specifies the basic requirements for the specification and testing of containers to be used exclusively in conjunction with the air mode in freighter versions of high-capacity fixed-wing aircraft. Furthermore gives environmental criteria and marking requirements.
