Overview

ISO 11078:2007 specifies requirements for non-Newtonian aircraft de-icing/anti-icing fluids designated ISO types II, III and IV. Intended for ground use on main line and regional civil transport airplanes, the standard harmonizes critical fluid characteristics to ensure safe removal and prevention of ice, snow and frost on external aircraft surfaces. ISO 11078:2007 endorses and references SAE AMS 1428 and aligns application/control methods with ISO 11076 and ICAO guidance.

Key topics and requirements

  • Fluid designation and scope: Applies to non-Newtonian (pseudo‑plastic) fluids classified as ISO type II, III or IV for ground de-icing/anti-icing of transport airplanes.
  • Non-Newtonian behavior: ISO types II–IV contain pseudo‑plastic thickeners (viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate) to resist frozen deposit build-up.
  • Conformance to AMS 1428: The fluid shall meet the requirements of Aerospace Material Specification AMS 1428, which ISO 11078 endorses for technical characteristics and ongoing updates.
  • Application and control: Methods for applying and controlling fluids must conform to ISO 11076, ICAO Doc 9640, and applicable civil aviation authority requirements.
  • Limitations and operator responsibility: Applicability may be limited for specific airplane types; operators must consult the aircraft operations manual, maintenance manual and manufacturer service letters for permitted fluid use.
  • Mixing caution: Products conforming to the standard are manufacturer-specific and may be adversely affected by mixing with other de-icing/anti-icing fluids.

Practical applications - who uses it

  • Aircraft operators and ground handling organizations selecting approved de-icing/anti-icing fluids for international and domestic operations.
  • Fleet safety managers and operations personnel developing ground icing procedures and training programs.
  • Aircraft manufacturers and maintenance engineers assessing compatibility and limitations for specific airplane types.
  • De-icing fluid manufacturers and suppliers certifying products to ISO 11078:2007 / AMS 1428.
  • Civil aviation authorities and auditors referencing standardized fluid requirements during regulatory oversight and compliance checks.

Related standards and guidance

  • ISO 11076 - Aircraft: Ground-based de-icing/anti-icing methods with fluids
  • SAE AMS 1428 - Fluid, Aircraft Deicing / Anti-icing, Non-Newtonian, Types II, III and IV (endorsed)

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11078 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee
SC 9, Air cargo and ground equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11078:1994), of which it constitutes a complete
1)
technical revision to endorse SAE AMS 1428, also supported by the Association of European Airlines (AEA).

1) This data requires frequent updating. ISO TC 20/SC 9 has agreed to delegating this task under its own guidance to
the Association of European Airlines (AEA) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), which are organizations
recognized as experts in the field of de-icing/anti-icing aircraft on the ground.
Introduction
The aim of this International Standard is to standardize the critical characteristics of non Newtonian fluids
designated ISO types II, III and IV which are used for ground de-icing and anti-icing of airplanes, in order to
ensure worldwide safety of civil transport airplanes under icing weather conditions.
In order to reduce duplication of reference documents as much as possible and to benefit from easier
industry-approved updating that takes into account the continuously evolving state of the art and knowledge,
this International Standard constitutes a de facto recognition of the AMS 1428 standard, published by SAE on
the basis of a permanent joint Committee with the Association of European Airlines (AEA) and with
endorsement from the Civil Aviation Authorities concerned.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.
L'ISO 11078 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 20, Aéronautique et espace, sous-comité SC 9,
