ISO 4117:1993 航空および航空/陸上貨物パレット—仕様とテスト | ページ 2

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.

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.

International Standard ISO 4117 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Sub-Committee SC 9, Air cargo and ground equipment.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4117:1980), which has been technically revised.

Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

Introduction

In this International Standard, the minimum essential criteria are expressed by the use of the word"shall". Recommended criteria are expressed by the use of the word"should" and, while not mandatory, are considered to be of primary importance In providing serviceable, economical and practical air transport pallets. Deviation from recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing and thorough service evaluation have shown alternative methods to be satisfactory.

1 Scope

This International Standard specifies dimensional, structural and environmental requirements for 2,44 m (8 ft) wide pallets to be used in freight versions of high-capacity fixed-wing aircraft, intended to be compatible with the 2,44 m x 2,44 m (8 ft x 8 ft) cross-section containers described in ISO 8323. Pallet nets to be used in conjunction with these pallets are described in ISO 4115.

This International Standard establishes three classes of pallet:

• Type A, air-only pallets;
• Type B, air/land pallets;
• Type C, adapter pallets.

Pallets have a nominal width of 2,44 m (8 ft) and nominal lengths of 3 m, 5 m, 6 m, 9 m and 12 m (10 ft, 16 ft, 20 ft, 30 ft and 40 ft).

Air-only pallets (Type A) will normally be handled on aircraft equivalent roller conveying systems and/or on similarly equipped ancillary ground handling devices.

The 5 m (16 ft) pallet is to be used only with this type.

Air/land pallets (Type B) are suitable for air/land handling and transport systems. Supplementary requirements for type B pallets are found in 5.5.1.

Air-adapter pallets (Type C) are used to adapt 2,44 m x 2,44 m (8 ft x 8 ft) surface-mode only containers (see ISO 1496-1) for air transport. Supplementary requirements for the Type C version are found in 5.5.2.
