This part of ISO 6966 specifies the minimum design requirements applicable to all aircraft ground support equipment, as defined in 3.1, in order to ensure
a) safety of staff operating or maintaining the equipment or in its vicinity;
b) protection of aircraft against interference or damage.
The requirements of this part of ISO 6966 apply to any piece of aircraft ground support equipment, as defined in 3.1, used on airports.
NOTE An informative list of the most commonly used pieces of ground equipment is provided in Annex A.
This part of ISO 6966 does not provide all the design requirements applicable for aircraft ground support equipment. Other requirements apply, and can be found in separate standards:
— ISO 6966-1 specifies the general, other than safety related, design requirements applicable to all aircraft ground support equipment;
— 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;
— specific standards, listed in the Bibliography, define the functional and performance requirements for certain types of aircraft ground support equipment.
