Number：CTSO-C90e

Date of approval：June 5，2023

Approved by：Yang Zhenmei

China Civil Aviation Technical Standard Order

This China Civil Aviation Technical Standard Order (CTSO) is issued according to Part 37 of the China Civil Aviation Regulations (CCAR-37). Each CTSO is a criterion which the concerned aeronautical materials, parts or appliances used on civil aircraft must comply with when it is presented for airworthiness certification.

ULD Pallets, ULD Nets and ULD Containers (Unit Load Devices)

1. PURPOSE

This China Civil Aviation Technical Standard Order (CTSO-C90e) is for manufacturers applying a CTSO authorization (CTSOA) for their ULD pallets, ULD nets and ULD containers (ULDs in general). This CTSO specifies the minimum performance standards（MPS）that Unit Load Devices (ULDs) must meet in order to be approved and identified using the applicable CTSO markings. This CTSO also includes requirements to enable a ULD be additionally classified as a Fire Resistant Container (FRC).

2. APPLICABILITY

This CTSO affects new application submitted after its effective date.

a. From the effective date of this CTSO, applicants who wish to obtain the CTSOA of Unit Load Devices should submit applications in

accordance with this CTSO. CTSO-C90d will also remain effective until 6 months from this CTSO release. After this date, we will no longer accept new applications for CTSO-C90d.

b. Since the effective date of this CTSO, Unit Load Devices approved under a previous CTSO may still be manufactured under the provisions of its original approval.

3. REQUIREMENTS

(1) Type I ULDs approved under this CTSO must meet the requirements in:

Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 3610 Revision 10, Specifications for Cargo Unit Load Devices, dated November 1, 1990 as modified by Appendix 1 of this CTSO, when applicable.

(2) Type II ULDs approved under this CTSO must meet the requirements in:

SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) 36100C, Air Cargo Unit Load Devices- Performance Requirements and Test Parameters, dated September of 2020 as modified by Appendix 2 of this CTSO.

NOTE: References Appendix 4 of this CTSO for definitions of Type I and Type II ULDs and ULDs in general.

(3) Testing methods that support compliance with the requirements in AS36100C and NAS3610 are found in:

SAE AS36102B, Air Cargo Unit Load Devices-Testing Methods, dated March of 2017, as applicable.

(4) FRCs approved under this CTSO must meet all applicable ULD requirements and the requirements in:

SAE AS8992, Fire Resistance Container Design, Performance and Testing Requirements, dated October of 2020, as modified by Appendix 3 of this CTSO, when the ULD container integrates fire containment functionality.

a. Functionality.

This CTSO’s standards apply to ULDs intended to group and restrain cargo, stores, baggage and mail on aircraft. It also applies to FRCs used to improve fire protection in aircraft cargo compartments.

b. Failure Condition Classifications.

There is no standard minimum failure condition classification for this CTSO. The failure condition classification appropriate for the equipment will depend on the intended use of the equipment in a specific aircraft. Document the loss of function and malfunction failure condition classification for which the equipment is designed.

c. Environmental Qualification.

(1) For ULDs and FRCs, consider the potential for environmental degradation due to aging, ultra-violet (UV)-exposure, weathering, etc. for

any materials used in the construction of pallets, nets and containers. Where applicable, testing should take into account the requirements of RTCA DO-160G and its modified version, and be accordingly subject to an Environmental Qualification Form identifying the performed tests. Note: Refer to RTCA-DO160G Appendix A for Environmental Qualification Form.

(2) For textile performance of nets, see SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) 1490C, Environmental Degradation of Textiles, dated April of 2019, for available data for textile performance when exposed to environmental factors. These data will be taken into account for consideration of the effects of environmental degradation on nets commensurate with the expected storage and service life to satisfy SAE AS 36100 Rev. C, Paragraph 4.11.

NOTE: Environmental degradation data other than that documented in AIR1490C may be used if you substantiate the data and it is approved by CAAC. A net must meet the minimum performance requirements of this CTSO at any time during its service life.

(3) FRC shall meet the additional environmental requirements in AS8992 paragraphs 3.6 and 4.2.

d. Flammability Requirements.

ULDs shall meet the requirements summarized in Table 1. The

requirements are located in CCAR-25-R4 Appendix F.

(1) Vertical Bunsen Burner Test for Cabin and Cargo Compartment Materials (follow requirements for 12 second test)

(2) 45-Degree Bunsen Burner Test for Cargo Compartment Liners and Waste Stowage Compartment Materials

(3) Horizontal Bunsen Burner Test for Cabin and Cargo Compartment Materials (use 2.5 inches/minute burn rate criteria)

ULDs additionally classified as FRCs shall meet the flammability requirements ofAS8992 Section 4.

ULD pallets and nets used with Fire Containment Covers (FCCs) should be marked with “FIRE CONTAINMENT COMPATIBLE” per paragraph 4.d of this CTSO if the article meets the performance and testing requirements of AS6453, “Fire Containment Cover – Design, Performance, and Testing Requirements” (dated August of 2013 and its modified version). Table 1 summarizes these flammability requirements, however refers to the most recent version of AS6453 for additional information and required order of testing.
