What is ISO 21100 about?
ISO 21100 specifies the performance and testing requirements for approved (certified) cargo
unit load devices (containers, pallets, and nets) intended to be used for cargo restraint on board civil transport aircraft.
ISO 21100 is intended to provide a uniform technical reference for air cargo unit load devices
approval. As a prerequisite, it is presupposed that the applicable general civil aviation requirements and the aircraft manufacturer’s approved Weight and Balance Manual are followed.
ISO 21100 defines the minimum performance requirements and test parameters for air cargo
unit load devices requiring approval of airworthiness for installation in an approved aircraft cargo compartment and restraint system that complies with the cargo restraint and occupant protection requirements of EASA CS-25 or 14 CFR Part 25, except for the 9,0 g forward ultimate inertia force of § 25.561(b) (3) (ii).
ISO 21100 applies to airworthiness approved air cargo unit load devices intended for carriage
on board civil transport category airplanes type certificated under EASA CS-25 or 14 CFR Part 25, or equivalent.
