This International Standard specifies functional, dimensional, structural and environmental requirements for the design of aircraft engine transport devices, used to transport aircraft engines in wide-body aircraft. These devices are intended to be used in conjunction with pallets compatible with ISO 8097 Class II restraint requirements. The restraint system parameters and requirements are also to be met for those devices where the pallet structural capability is an integral part of the design. Design parameters specified for air transport of engine transport devices should enable interline capability where feasible with respect to dimensions and loads.

This International Standard specifies minimum air and ground handling features and is intended to ensure interchangeability and compatibility with present and future air transport and ground handling system. The devices specified herein should be designed primarily for air transport and alternatively for surface transport, stowage and maintenance purposes.
