International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

ISO 6967:2006
Scope
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.
