This specification covers the following types and classes of extinguishers: Type I Stored pressure type Category A - Operational Temperature range −40 to +140 °F (−40 to +60 °C) Category B - Operational Temperature range +35 to +140 °F (+1.7 to +60 °C) Type II Cartridge operated type Category A - Operational Temperature range −40 to +140 °F (−40 to +60 °C) Category B - Operational Temperature range +35 to +140 °F (+1.7 to +60 °C)
The scope of this Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to establish the criteria for aircraft installations which shall ensure rapid and effective use of emergency flotation equipment in the event of ditching.
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) identifies the risks and dangers associated with the carriage and use of pyrotechnic signaling devices in transport category aircraft life rafts and slide/rafts, and provides a rationale for allowing the use of alternative non-pyrotechnic devices authorized by FAA/TSO-C168. These devices offer an equivalent level of safety while eliminating flight safety risks, enhancing survivability of aircraft ditching survivors, reducing costs, eliminating dangerous goods transportation and handling issues, and reducing environmental impact of dangerous goods disposal.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides standardized guidelines for the design and identification of slide or slide/raft operating features. Review of the inflatable evacuation and ditching devices in service on the current airline fleet reveals the existence of a wide variety of design and labeling configurations related to the inflation and release of these devices from the aircraft structure. Due to the critical safety nature of these specific operating functions, a common and consistent approach to the design and identification of the inflation and release features is considered warranted. In addition, definition of other features requiring labelling is warranted.
This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes criteria for design and installation of devices that will ensure rapid and effective occupant evacuation in the event of emergency.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes general criteria for the installation (e.g., type, location, accessibility, stowage) and crew member training needed for hand-held fire extinguishers.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) applies to blankets used for passenger comfort within transport category aircraft cabins. When the term “blanket” is used in this document it refers to all blankets that are provided by the aircraft operator for passenger warmth.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) recommends design features for facilitating relocation of portable slide/rafts for deployment at an alternate exit under ditching conditions.
