Description / Abstract:
General
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes minimum design and
performance requirements for galley insert equipment with an
electrical and/or pressure system, as well as associated components
intended for installation in galleys and other areas (e.g., bars)
of transport category airplanes.
Purpose
This standard applies to the following equipment intended for
installation in galleys and other areas (e.g., bars) within
transport category airplanes, such as but not limited to the
following:
a. Ovens (e.g., convection, steam, induction, microwave, bun
warmer, plate warmer)
b. Beverage makers (e.g., coffee makers, coffee warmers, water
heaters, espresso makers)
c. Beverage cups and jugs (so-called hot cups and jugs)
d. Self contained refrigeration equipment (e.g., refrigerators,
freezers, wine chillers, water coolers, air chillers)
e. Trash compactors
f. Rail assemblies
g. Associated components, such as oven racks and trays, beverage
servers
This standard does not:
a. Address equipment covered in AS8056 "Minimum Design and
Performance of Airplane Galley In-Flight Carts, Containers, and
Associated Components".
b. Fully address design details that provide extended service
life and continued airworthiness, since these are a function of:
(1) total galley and food/beverage system design, (2) human factors
engineering desired by individual operators, (3) techniques of care
in servicing, and (4) maintenance philosophy. However, references
to these considerations are included as appropriate.
c. Fully address requirements that are covered by national
aviation regulations, pertinent U.S. Public Health regulations
and/or design details, which should be covered by galley
operator/airplane manufacturer specifications for the subject
equipment.
d. Fully address requirements for equipment utilizing hydraulic
systems (e.g., Trash compactors).
When the term "equipment" is used in this standard, it refers to
all of the items identified in the Purpose (1.2) unless
specifically identified otherwise.
Mandating and Recommendation Phrases
a. "Shall"
The word "shall" indicates a mandatory criterion.
b. "Should"
The word "should" indicates a criterion for which an
alternative, including non-compliance, may be applied if it is
documented and justified.
