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. Each 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, governmental 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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions
related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in
the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: www .i so .org/ iso/ foreword .html.

Aerospace series — AC induction electric motor
driven, variable delivery, hydraulic pumps — General
requirements
1 Scope
This document establishes the general requirements for electric motor driven, variable delivery,
hydraulic pumps suitable for use in aircraft hydraulic systems.
This document includes the general requirements for Alternating Current (AC) induction electric motor
powered units. The AC power electrical power supply can be either controlled to provide a Constant
Frequency (CF) or uncontrolled to provide a Variable Frequency (VF) AC supply to the electric motor.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with the detail specification that is particular to
each application.
