Aircraft — Passenger doors interface requirements for connection of passenger boarding bridge — Part 2: Upper deck doors
ISO 7718-2:2009 specifies minimum requirements for dimensions and unobstructed space around upper deck passenger doors of future types of civil-passenger transport aircraft when they are intended to be compatible with passenger boarding bridges existing, or being planned, in airports worldwide. ISO 7718-2:2009 is not necessarily applicable to existing models of civil transport aircraft, or derivative models with the same fuselage. However, it is expected that the design of such aircraft types be taken into account in the design of passenger boarding bridges capable of upper deck servicing, in addition to ISO 7718-2:2009. ISO 7718-2:2009 is not intended to restrict in any way the basic design of any future types of civil-passenger transport aircraft. However, it aims to clarify for aircraft-design engineers the design characteristics that would make it difficult, or impossible, for a new type of aircraft to connect adequately with existing airport passenger boarding bridges. If, on a future model, basic aircraft-design requirements impose certain dimensional characteristics that do not comply with ISO 7718-2:2009, one of the following will apply, and in each case, aircraft-handling constraints and operating costs will increase: alternative methods of embarking/disembarking passengers (e.g. integral aircraft stairs) will need to be implemented; or existing upper deck passenger boarding bridges will need to be modified/reworked to some extent in the airports where this type of new aircraft will operate; or additional interface devices/equipment will be needed to connect this type of new aircraft with existing upper deck passenger boarding bridges.

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 7718-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee
SC 9, Air cargo and ground equipment.
This first edition of ISO 7718-2, together with ISO 7718-1, cancels and replaces ISO 7718:2003, which has
been technically revised.
ISO 7718 consists of the following parts, under the general title Aircraft — Passenger doors interface
requirements for connection of passenger boarding bridge:
⎯ Part 1: Main deck doors
⎯ Part 2: Upper deck doors

Introduction
This part of ISO 7718 specifies minimum requirements for dimensions and unobstructed space around upper
deck passenger doors on the outer skin of civil transport aircraft, applicable when these doors are designed to
accept the connection of existing passenger boarding bridges or transfer vehicles.
Throughout this part of ISO 7718, the minimum essential criteria are identified by the keyword “shall”.
Recommended criteria are identified by the keyword “should” and, while not mandatory, are considered to be
of primary importance in providing easily and economically handled aircraft, as well as preventing damage to
the aircraft caused by passenger boarding bridge interference. Deviation from recommended criteria should
only occur, after careful consideration, if positively required by basic aircraft-design factors with a significant
operational-cost impact.
