IS 8589 : 2011 : Aircargo Equipment - Interline Pallet Nets

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 4170 : 1995 ‘Air cargo equipment - Interline pallet nets’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Aircraft, Space Vehicles, Air Cargo Handling and Aircraft Electrical Equipment Sectional Committee and approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1977 and revised in 1994 based on ISO 4170 : 1987. The second revision of this standard has been undertaken with a view to bring it in line with the latest version of ISO 4170 : 1995.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
