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, 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 6967 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee SC 9, Air cargo and ground equipment.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 6967:1994), which has been technically revised.

Introduction

This International Standard specifies the functional requirements to be taken into account by manufacturers for the design of aircraft main deck cargo container and pallet loaders.

Throughout this International Standard, the minimum essential criteria are identified by use of the key word ‘shall’. Recommended criteria are identified by use of the key word ‘should’ and, while not mandatory, are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, economical and usable aircraft main deck loaders. Deviation from recommended criteria should only occur after careful consideration and thorough service evaluation have shown alternative methods to provide an equivalent level of safety.

1 Scope

This International Standard specifies the functional requirements for a self-propelled loader capable of raising air cargo unit load devices (ULDs) with base dimensions and maximum mass as given in Table 1.

This International Standard does not provide all the design requirements applicable for aircraft main deck loaders. Other requirements can be found in separate International Standards:

• ISO 4116 specifies the additional requirements applicable for conveying surfaces of those pieces of aircraft ground support equipment intended for handling and loading of baggage and cargo unit load devices;
• ISO 6966-1 and ISO 6966-2 specify, respectively, the general and safety-related requirements applicable to all aircraft ground support equipment.

The requirements of this International Standard were determined based on generally recognized assumptions with regard to

• a) the normally intended use of aircraft ground support equipment, when used on the ramp of international civil airports in order to handle, service or maintain civil transport aircraft;
• b) the environmental (surface, slope, weather, lighting, operating rules, staff qualification, etc.) conditions prevailing on the ramp area of the majority of international civil airports.

It is assumed the manufacturers of aircraft main deck loaders define in the relevant documentation the specifically intended conditions of use and environment for each item of equipment, and the purchasers systematically review their own specific conditions of use and environment in order to determine whether those stated are adequate, or negotiate with the manufacturer appropriate modifications to ensure they are.
