The ISS Payload Label Approval Team (IPLAT)
verifies that ISS payloads are meeting the label requirements in
SSP 57000, Appendix C. IPLAT coordinates with the payload developers
and the Astronaut Office to arrive at mutual agreements on crew interface
labeling. IPLAT is a subset of the Human
Factors Implementation Team (HFIT) managed by the ISS Program.
IPLAT’s goal is the standardization of payload labels to facilitate the crew’s understanding of the hardware, thereby increasing the amount of time spent on science.
IPLAT ensures payloads are properly labeled by providing direction and helping the payload developer by creating label drawings upon request.
IPLAT brings consistency to payload labeling in a cost effective manner for the ISS program.
The purpose of this webpage is to provide information on how to design ISS payload labels that meet the requirements of SSP 57000 Appendix C, provide information on how to get official approval for ISS payload labels, and to provide links to related sites.
