Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 16049 specifies the design criteria and testing
methods adequate to guarantee the ultimate load and operational
dependability of cargo restraint strap assemblies with a typical
rated ultimate tension load capability of 22 250 N (5 000 lbf), as
used by the airline industry in order to restrain on board civil
transport aircraft during flight:
a) cargo loaded and tied down onto airworthiness approved air
cargo pallets, themselves restrained into aircraft lower deck, main
deck or upper deck cargo systems and meeting the requirements of
ISO 8097 (NAS 3610) or ISO/PAS 21100, or
b) non-unitized individual pieces of cargo, or pieces of cargo
placed onto an unrestrained ("floating") pallet into either lower
deck, main deck or upper deck containerized cargo compartments of
an aircraft.
The same restraint strap assemblies can also be used in other
applications such as:
c) non-containerized (bulk loaded) baggage and cargo
compartments,
d) to ensure cargo restraint inside an airworthiness approved
air cargo container.
NOTE The ultimate loads allowable on the attachment points
available in most aircraft bulk compartments and inside most air
cargo containers are significantly lower than 22 250 N (5 000 lbf).
This results in the restraint arrangement's ultimate load
capability being dictated by the weakest element, i.e. the
attachment points. Typical 22 250 N ultimate load restraint straps
will therefore be in excess of the requirements for such
applications.
Compliance with this part of ISO 16049 provides one means of
cargo restraint straps airworthiness approval
