The KS W ISO 4116-2008 (2023) standard, published by the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS), establishes requirements for compatibility between ground equipment and aircraft unit load devices in air cargo handling systems. This international standard is crucial for ensuring efficient and safe operations within the aviation industry, particularly focusing on the interconnectivity of ground handling equipment with various types of aircraft unit load devices used across different carriers. It provides a framework that includes specific guidelines for design, manufacturing, testing, and operational practices to ensure seamless integration between these critical components of air cargo logistics systems. The standard aims to enhance safety, reduce operating costs, and improve overall efficiency in the handling and transportation of goods by air, aligning with global best practices and ensuring compatibility across diverse fleet configurations.
