The work of preparing International Stand
10、ards 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 ta
11、ke 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 p
12、articular 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. www.iso.org/directives Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of thi
13、s document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

15、els and replaces the second edition (ISO 6517:1992), which has been technically revised to take into account ISO 21100 and TSO/ETSO C90d.iv ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS ISO 6517:2013ISO 6517:2013(E) Introduction The basic functions of lower deck air cargo containers are: a) the unitization of bagg
16、age, cargo or mail during ground handling and transportation, and b) the restraint of their contents against accelerations encountered in flight. Throughout this International Standard, the minimum essential criteria are identified by use of the key word “sha ll”. Recommended c r iter ia a re ident
17、if ied by use of t he key word “shou ld” a nd, while not ma ndator y, are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, economical and usable containers. Deviation from recommended criteria should only occur after careful consideration and thorough service evaluation have shown alternate
18、 methods to provide an equivalent level of quality and safety. The requirements of this International Standard are expressed in the applicable SI units, with approximate inch-pound units conversion between brackets for convenience in those countries using that system. Where it is deemed necessary to
19、 use exact values, the SI unit ones are to be used. Per exception, the exact figures are those in inches for container base overall outside dimensions. ISO 2013 All rights reserved vBS ISO 6517:2013BS ISO 6517:2013Air cargo Certified lower deck containers Design and testing 1 Scope 1.1 This Internat
20、ional Standard covers the minimum design and operational testing requirements for general purpose base-restrained containers exclusively intended for the lower deck compartments of main line civil transport aircraft, capable of being used by either airlines or shippers and requiring airworthiness au
21、thority approval (certification). NOTE 1 The metric equivalents for dimensions have been rounded up or down to the nearest millimetre, except in critical dimensions. Masses have been rounded up to the nearest kilogram and forces have been rounded up to the nearest 10 N. NOTE 2 Containers with other
22、base sizes than those specified by this International Standard can also be built to a lower deck contour, but they need not be carried exclusively on the lower deck. See ISO 10327. 1.2 This International Standard does not cover the performance requirements and ultimate load testing parameters for ap
23、proval by airworthiness authorities (certification), which are covered in ISO 21100 or, for units approved prior to 2012, ISO 8097:2001. The design and operational testing requirements of this International Standard are additional to those of these standards. 2 Normative references The following doc

47、tre of gravity conditions of ISO 21100 and refer to methods to achieve the centre of gravity location control requirements. 4.1.4 The design, materials and construction of the container shall be of aircraft quality. Maintainability and reparability shall be a factor in the design to ensure the minim
48、um need for maintenance, and shall ensure that such maintenance and repair can be accomplished with ease and at minimum cost. 4.1.5 The structure shall be designed to make the maximum internal cross-section available for loading cargo, within the limits of structural design and the space required fo
49、r latching. 4.1.6 The materials and design shall be selected to provide for an empty (tare) weight as low as possible, consistent with maintainability objectives (see 4.1.4). NOTE A direct environmental impact of container use is that their weight results in additional fuel burn by aircraft. Therefore, apart from economic advantages, reducing container weight as much as possible to still meet performance objectives is a highly effective environmental contribution
