SAE AS5385D旨在确定设计标准和测试方法，以保证货物约束带组件的极限载荷和操作可靠性，航空业用于在飞行过程中限制民用运输飞机上的货物:货物装载并系在经适航认证的航空货物托盘上，其自身被限制在飞机下甲板或主/上层货物系统中，并满足NAS 3610或AS36100的要求，或未组合的单个货物，放置在无约束（“浮动”）托盘上的货物，进入飞机的下甲板或主甲板集装箱货舱。

SAE AS5385D aims at identifying the design criteria and testing methods adequate to guarantee the ultimate load and operational dependability of cargo restraint strap assemblies with a typical 22250 N (5000 lbf) rated ultimate tension load capability, as used by the airline industry in order to restrain cargo on board civil transport aircraft during flight:cargo loaded and tied down onto airworthiness certified air cargo pallets, themselves restrained into aircraft lower deck or main/upper deck cargo systems and meeting the requirements of NAS 3610 or AS36100, ornon-unitized individual pieces of cargo, or pieces of, cargo placed onto an unrestrained ("floating") pallet into either lower deck or main deck containerized cargo compartments of an aircraft.
