Scope

This international Standard specifies the requirements of baggage handling for individual pieces of baggage checked in by airline passengers at airports to be carried into aircraft cargo holds.

This international Standard applies to all manual handling workplaces in the processing chain for sorting, safety handling and baggage routing (containers and bulk baggage, departure and arrival circuits, at terminal and at aircraft, excluding passenger check-in process).

This international Standard is not intended to specify the baggage handling systems in and out of airport terminals, except the baggage masses and dimensions they shall be able to handle, and the critical characteristics of manual workstations.

This international Standard is not intended to specify the baggage handling systems in the aircraft. This international Standard does not aim to be a substitute for any more stringent law or regulation that can be locally applicable, such as Health and Safety government legislations and regulations applicable to machinery or manual handling of loads. The carrier and handling services provider are responsible for identifying and complying with such legal requirements.

Purpose

This international Standard specifies the handling conditions for baggage checked in by airline passengers to be carried into aircraft cargo holds, in order to:

- contribute to improve work conditions for baggage handling agents and reduce the incidence of musculo-skeletal disorders (MSD) in this population;

- facilitate enhancing the overall efficiency of baggage handling;

- provide instructions for the design of automatic baggage handling systems increasingly used at airports.
