8、 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
9、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 matter
10、s 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 circulat
11、ed 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
12、 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. BS I
13、SO 6967:2006iv 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 us
14、e 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 con
15、sideration and thorough service evaluation have shown alternative methods to provide an equivalent level of safety. BS ISO 6967:2006 1 Aircraft ground equipment Main deck loader Functional requirements 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the functional requirements for a self-propelled loa
16、der capable of raising air cargo unit load devices (ULDs) with base dimensions and maximum mass as given in Table 1. Table 1 Base dimensions and maximum mass ISO 8097:2001 base size code Length mm (in) Width mm (in) Maximum gross mass kg (lb) A 3 175 (125) 2 235 (88) 6 804 (15 000) M 3 175 (125) 2 4

Other requirements can be found in separate International Standards: ISO 4116
18、 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 applica
19、ble 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
20、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 loa
21、ders 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 t
22、he manufacturer appropriate modifications to ensure they are. BS ISO 6967:20062 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
