9、 14Bibliography .21BS ISO 6517:2013ISO 6517:2013(E)ForewordISO (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
10、 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 Internationa
11、l 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 different t
12、ypes 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/directivesAttention 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
13、 responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received. www.iso.org/patentsAny trade name used in this document is information given
14、for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement. The committee responsible for this document is 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 6517:1992), which has been tec
15、hnically revised to take into account ISO 21100 and TSO/ETSO C90d.iv ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS ISO 6517:2013ISO 6517:2013(E)IntroductionThe basic functions of lower deck air cargo containers are:a) the unitization of baggage, cargo or mail during ground handling and transportation, andb) the re
16、straint of their contents against accelerations encountered in flight.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
17、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 methods to provide an equivalent level of quality and safety.The requirements of this I
18、nternational 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 use exact values, the SI unit ones are to be used. Per exception, the exact figures are
19、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 testing1 Scope1.1 This International Standard covers the minimum design and operational testing requirements for general p
20、urpose 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 authority approval (certification).NOTE 1 The metric equivalents for dimensions have been rou
21、nded 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 base sizes than those specified by this International Standard can also be built to a lower d
22、eck 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 approval by airworthiness authorities (certification), which are covered in ISO 21100 or, for un
23、its 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 referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable f

44、mance requirements, and all the requirements of the present clause.4.1.2 The container manufacturer shall provide the user instructions for the maintenance and repair of the container necessary to maintain its continuing airworthiness qualification (see 9.1).7) The type code is, by industry consensu

46、nstructions for installation, operation and servicing of the container (see 8.2), which shall comply with load distribution and centre 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 o
47、f the container shall be of aircraft quality. Maintainability and reparability shall be a factor in the design to ensure the minimum 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
48、 the maximum internal cross-section available for loading cargo, within the limits of structural design and the space required for 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
49、).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 and must be pursued.4.2 Airworthiness approval4.2.1 The container manufacturer shall apply to the appropriate airworthiness authority to obtain approval (certification) for use of the c
