The work of preparing International Standards 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, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with Iso, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISo Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting International Standard ISO 4116 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20 Aircraft and space vehicles. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IS0 4116-1980), of which it constitutes a minor revision. Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated. @ Internationai Organization for Standardization, 1986 Printed in Switzerland d without license from IHS Not for Resale ISO 4116-1986 (E) INTERNATIONAL STANDARD Air cargo equipment - Ground equipment requirements for compatibility with aircraft unit load devices O Introduction b) these devices usually form an integral part of the air craft and, as such, are subject to the requirements of regulatory agencies, to ensure structural integrity. The term "device" used in this International Standard is in- tended to mean "aircraft unit load device". The devices (aircraft unit load devices) to which this Inter- national Standard is applicable can be containers, galley It is intended that this International Standard should apply to modules and pallets for aircraft galley and cargo systems.
