Aircraft ground equipment — Passenger boarding bridge or transfer vehicle — Interface requirements with aircraft doors

ISO 16004:2017 specifies dimensional interface and unobstructed space requirements applicable to the aircraft mating section of either a) passenger boarding bridges, or b) passenger transfer vehicles used at airports for boarding and disembarkation of passengers on the types of civil transport aircraft which have been listed hereafter. These types of aircraft have a door sill height greater than 2,0 m (80 in) over the ground. Lower aircraft usually do not require such means of access, and have not been taken into account.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

SC 9, Air cargo and ground equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first (ISO 16004:2005), which constitutes a minor revision
and includes the following changes:
— clarification of the scope;
— normative references have been updated;
— table of contents has been added; and
— bibliography has been updated.

Introduction
Many aircraft types include, in the vicinity of the main deck doors used for passenger access, a variety of
protruding items such as pitots, probes, sensors, strakes, etc. which are exposed to inadvertent damage
and have been known to suffer from inappropriate design and/or positioning of passenger boarding
bridges or passenger transfer vehicles. Since perfect condition of these items is generally essential to
flight safety, it is the intent of this document to specify minimum interface requirements on passenger
boarding bridges or passenger transfer vehicles such that systematic or inadvertent contact with one of
them is avoided.
This document accordingly specifies the minimum interface requirements to be met by the aircraft
mating section of either a passenger boarding bridge or a passenger transfer vehicle, in order to allow
compatibility with aircraft passenger doors and their surroundings without interference with or risk of
damage to these protruding items.
Throughout this document, the minimum essential criteria are identified by the use of the keyword
“shall”. Recommended criteria are identified by the use of the keyword “should” and, while not
mandatory, are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe passenger boarding bridge
or passenger transfer vehicles and minimizing the risk of inadvertent damage to vital aircraft parts.
Deviation from recommended criteria should only occur if positively required by basic passenger
boarding bridge or passenger transfer vehicle design factors with a significant cost impact, and
after careful consideration, extensive testing, and thorough service evaluation have shown alternate
methods to be satisfactory.

Aircraft ground equipment — Passenger boarding bridge
or transfer vehicle — Interface requirements with
aircraft doors
WARNING — Passenger boarding bridge or passenger transfer vehicle compliance with the
provisions of this document will only ensure protection of the exposed devices on the indicated
existing aircraft types. As to other potential circumstances:
— where a passenger boarding bridge or passenger transfer vehicle is to be operated on another
existing aircraft type, the responsible design or operating body should check the nature and
location of any items protruding in the vicinity of the passenger door(s) used, in order to
check if the aircraft is protected against interference or if particular positioning precautions
are required, and
— features specific to one aircraft type or sub-type have been identified. Passenger boarding
bridge design may not take them into account where bridge and/or aircraft stand
characteristics preclude handling of the particular aircraft type concerned. Passenger
transfer vehicles shall take them into account, inasmuch as the vehicle is capable of reaching
the aircraft type’s door sill height.
