The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical commi
10、ttees. 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 I
11、nternational 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 particular the different approval criteria needed for the
12、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 (see www .iso .org/ directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

17、o contribute to alleviating work conditions for baggage handling personnel and reducing the incidence of musculo-skeletal disorders (MSD) in this population, facilitate enhancing the overall efficiency of baggage handling, and provide standards for designing automated baggage handling systems increa
18、singly used at airports.Throughout this document, 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 and efficient bag
19、gage handling. Deviation from the recommended criteria should only occur after careful consideration and thorough service evaluation have shown alternate methods to provide an equivalent level of work safety.

28、ratorperson or persons given the task of handling the baggage4 Requirements4.1 Standard baggage4.1.1 MassThe mass of standard baggage shall not exceed 23 kg (50 lb) and shall be 2 kg (5 lb) minimum per piece.NOTE The functioning of equipment available for automated handling of baggage can be hampere
29、d when the mass of a piece of baggage is very low.4.1.2 DimensionsThe dimensions of standard baggage shall not exceed 1 580 mm (62 in) in total of Length + Width + Height of each piece, with the longest dimension not exceeding 915 mm (36 in) and the shortest being 120 mm (5 in) minimum, not includin
30、g handles.NOTE 1 The requirement on the dimensions is not based on ISO 11228-1 or other literature on ergonomics in relation to lifting and carrying. This requirement, based on compatibility with handling systems, is however well accepted in the airline industry.NOTE 2 The functioning of equipment a
31、vailable for automated handling of baggage can be hampered when the dimensions of a piece of baggage are very small.4.1.3 ConveyabilityCertain pieces meeting the mass and dimensions limits specified in 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 can nevertheless be unsuitable for handling by mechanized baggage systems: in orde
32、r to be suitable for systems handling, a piece of baggage shall have a stable shape, at least one flat surface, and no protruding straps, hooks, or similar other appurtenances.This can result in additional manual handling, which should be avoided insofar as feasible: see 4.4.3.4.2 Non-standard bagga
33、ge4.2.1 AcceptanceNon-standard baggage may only be accepted as an exception. Pieces of baggage that do not conform to the requirements set for standard baggage in 4.1 shall, if dividable, be rearranged by the passenger into pieces of baggage that do conform to the requirements for standard baggage.N
34、OTE To avoid difficulties at check-in, it is essential that passengers are informed before travelling to the airport for the flight about the acceptance of baggage (see 4.3).2 ISO 2017 All rights reservedBS ISO 12604-1:2017ISO 12604-1:2017(E)4.2.2 MassWhere an undividable piece of baggage exceeding
35、a mass of 23 kg (50 lb) is accepted: it shall be labelled accordingly;See typical heavy baggage labels in Annex A. They should bear the pieces mass in order to provide an indication to baggage handling personnel. it shall be handled at the airport with special measures, e.g. by two persons or, where
36、 appropriate, with ancillary equipment; it shall not exceed a mass of 46 kg (100 lb) per piece (over this mass, the piece should not be accepted as checked baggage and should be carried as freight).4.2.3 DimensionsWhere a piece of baggage exceeding the dimensions for standard baggage is accepted, it
37、 is recommended to use an outsize baggage circuit in the terminal, as wide and straight as possible, to transport it without interference with any standard baggage handling systems, avoid a risk of damage to both the systems and the piece of baggage, and provide optimised conditions for manual handl
38、ing where necessary.Dimensions should not exceed 3 000 mm (118 in) in total of Length + Width + Height of each piece.Over these dimensions, the piece should not be accepted as checked baggage and should be carried as freight.NOTE This requirement is not based on ergonomics. It is deemed necessary as
39、 a reference to design airport outsize baggage circuits and systems capability, and is well accepted in the airline industry.4.3 InformationCarriers shall inform passengers in good time prior to the flight on the requirements set for standard baggage in 4.1 and the restrictions on the acceptance of
40、non-standard baggage in 4.2.4.4 Handling4.4.1 The handling agent should, wherever possible, take measures or use mechanized equipment appropriate to avoid or reduce manual handling of baggage.4.4.2 Mechanized or automated equipment shall be capable of handling without manual intervention at least th
41、e mass and dimensions per piece specified for standard baggage in 4.1. It is recommended that it also be capable of handling non-standard heavy baggage up to the mass specified in 4.2.2.4.4.3 Insofar as possible, non-conveyable pieces of baggage (see 4.1.3) should be reconditioned, e.g. shrink wrapp
42、ed, inserted into an outer bag, or protruding items attached, to become acceptable for the baggage handling systems.4.4.4 Where manual handling cannot be avoided, the handling agents shall perform a risk assessment in accordance with ISO 11228-1, and take specific measures or use equipment to reduce
43、 the resulting ergonomic hazard to handling operators, including work stations design and baggage handling personnel training on how to handle baggage to minimize health risks.4.4.5 For this purpose, the handling agents shall take into account the limits for manual lifting and carrying as a function
44、 of intensity, frequency and duration recommended in ISO 11228-1, taking into account the recommendations of ISO 11228-3. Complying with the limits specified in 4.1 will contribute to meeting these objectives. ISO 2017 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 12604-1:2017ISO 12604-1:2017(E)NOTE 1 ISO 11228-1 tak
45、es into account the frequency and duration of the tasks, therefore implicitly considering average load weight, which is out of the scope of this document. This document aims at limiting the maximum mass and dimensions of standard baggage, thus eliminating or reducing those most demanding ergonomic s
46、ituations part of the tasks. But this does not alleviate the physical work of handling average baggage, to be covered by other means.Where average baggage weights are nevertheless necessary for ergonomic evaluation, they should preferably be taken from local airport statistics. For non-local purpose
47、s, the default baggage values authorized by airworthiness authorities for aircraft weight and balance purposes, which are based on extensive surveys and regularly updated, can be used. For instance, in European airports, the average weight per piece of baggage is to be taken as 11 kg on domestic fli
48、ghts, 13 kg on intra-European flights, and 15 kg on intercontinental flights see EU-OPS 1.620 (f)10.NOTE 2 In most countries, national legislation regarding ergonomic issues is also applicable.
