Overview
ISO 6702-2:1991 is an internationally recognized standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that defines the requirements for on-board weight and balance systems (OBWBS) in civil transport aircraft. This document, titled "Aircraft - Requirements for on-board weight and balance systems - Part 2: Design, performance and interface characteristics," specifies criteria that ensure accurate and reliable weight and balance monitoring for safe aircraft operation. The standard aligns with the requirements outlined in ARINC 737:1985 and its Supplement 1 (1988), which are adopted as a de facto reference for the sector.
Key Topics
Design Specifications
ISO 6702-2:1991 identifies critical aspects for the physical and electronic design of OBWBS units, ensuring compatibility with the aircraft's operational environment and integration with other onboard systems.Performance Requirements
The standard sets criteria for system accuracy, response time, and reliability, ensuring that weight and balance data provided is precise and supports safety-critical decision-making.Interface Characteristics
Detailed requirements are provided for system interfaces, facilitating standardized communication and information exchange between the OBWBS and other avionics or ground support equipment.Alignment with ARINC 737
By referencing ARINC 737:1985 and Supplement 1 (1988), ISO 6702-2 ensures that industry-accepted technical guidelines are followed, simplifying compliance for manufacturers and operators.Scope of Applicability
This part of the standard applies specifically to civil transport aircraft of class I or class II, supporting broader adoption in commercial aviation.
Applications
ISO 6702-2:1991 is crucial for:
Aircraft Manufacturers:
Ensuring newly developed civil transport aircraft are equipped with OBWBS that comply with global safety and operational standards.Avionics System Designers:
Providing clear criteria for the design and integration of weight and balance monitoring hardware and software, supporting seamless interaction with other aircraft systems.Regulatory Compliance:
Facilitating certification processes by adopting internationally accepted technical and performance benchmarks for on-board weight control and monitoring systems.Aircraft Operators:
Helping operators maintain compliance with weight and balance safety requirements, reducing the risk of load mismanagement and improving operational efficiency.Ground Support Providers:
Enhancing maintenance and calibration services by ensuring compatibility with standardized interface characteristics.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Interna-
tional Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 67022 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Sub-Committee SC 9, Air cargo
and ground equipment.
