Why the Aerospace Industry
Cares About Standards…
• The Aerospace Industry is the most data (and
standards) intensive industry
• Standards form part of the product definition data
used to define, manufacture, certify, operate and
support aerospace products
• Standards have a defined mission:
•
Interoperability & interconnectivity
•
Reliability, repeatability, quality
•
Safety and certification
•
Mechanism for change
•
Supply chain management

Criteria for All Models…
Standards that are:
Industry
–
Technically valid
–
Globally relevant
–
Primarily performance-based
–
Acceptable for reference in national or
regional legislation for Regulatory
purposes if necessary
Trade Association
–
Value-adding for both the consumer and
society (e.g., ensure safety and preserve
the environment)
–
Current with developing technology

Value Stream
• Intellectual Property
• Technical Expertise
• Technical Requirements
• Intent to Use
• Manage the Consensus Process
• Standards Administration:
• Publication
• Distribution
• Configuration Management
• Use
Successful Companies Require
Successful Standards Strategies
• Companies and Industries need business
strategies to succeed
• Standards are becoming an important part of
those strategies
• Once thought of as just technical documents, the
business side of standards is becoming
strategically important
• Global companies, and those supplying to global
industries, benefit from strong, pro-active
standards strategies and standards management
The aerospace industry spends a significant amount of money on
standards. Managed well, it’s an investment; without management,
it’s an expense.
- Future of Aerospace Standardization Report, 2003
Global Standards are not just
International Standards
• Globally Recognized – all stakeholders around
the world acknowledge the standard’s technical
accuracy and relevance
• Globally Accepted – all regulatory agencies and
customers around the world recognize the
standard as meeting applicable requirements
• Globally Used – all stakeholders use the
standard
Global standards and regulations are critical to the efficient
operation of the global aviation system and international markets

A Recent Aerospace Position Paper Supports Global
Standards and Encourages Selection and Use of Best
Standards
•
The Standards for Technical Excellence Position Paper
developed by the Strategic Standardization Forum for Aerospace
and released by the US Aerospace Industries Association...
–
–
–
–
–
Recognizes the broad range of global, international, industry,
military and company-unique standards used by the aerospace
industry
Encourages global participation in the development and use of
standards
Does not exclude or promote one source of standards over another
for consideration in the design/build/support of aerospace products
Acknowledges the importance of standards as critical sources of
technical data for aerospace
Is intended to encourage those national bodies (governmental,
trade, and defense) who are writing standards policies to adopt
policies which allow the aerospace industry to continue to develop
and select standards as they currently do -- based on technical merit
Quality – A Global
Industry Effort
•
•
•
•
•
Implement initiatives that make
significant improvements in Quality
and reductions in cost throughout
the value stream by establishing and
maintaining dynamic cooperation,
based on trust, between
international aerospace companies.
A cooperative organization of the
global aerospace industry
Uses existing infrastructures
Includes over 64 of the largest
members of the aerospace industry
Regional sectors coordinate
requirements for quality standards
and the results are harmonized by
the IAQG
Globally harmonized standards are
published simultaneously by each
of the sponsoring organizations
•
•
•
Standards are developed/
revised in less than 12
months
Members have signed
commitments to implement
Implementation statistics
are tracked
Global Standards are used in Regulations
and Government Policies
The use of global voluntary consensus standards,
whenever practicable and appropriate, by Governments
and Regulatory Agencies can achieve the following goals:
• Eliminate the cost to governments of developing their own
standards and decrease the cost of goods procured
• Reduce the cost of compliance to multiple standards and
facilitate harmonization between regulatory agencies
• Provide incentives and opportunities to establish standards
that serve global industry needs
• Encourage long-term growth for global enterprises by
promoting efficiency and economic competition through
harmonization of regional requirements
• Further encourage governments to rely upon the private
sector to define standards which will protect the safety of
the public and the environment while promoting strong
industrial growth
Aerospace Industry Goals for
Global Standardization
• Increasing use and adoption of global standards
developed by the entire global industry through
multiple venues and many different standards organizations
• Increasing cooperation with government and regulatory bodies
to encourage regulations that reference voluntary consensus
standards and conformity assessment programs
• Increasing participation in global standards development and
conformity assessment activities by all stakeholders
(government, industry, standards developers, and consumers)
• Increasing standards development in accordance with the
WTO-TBT criteria: Transparency, Openness, Consensus, Due
Process
• Standards and conformity assessment programs which are
increasingly globally relevant, responsive to real world needs,
and performance-based
SUMMARY
Global Participation in Standards Activities by
Industry Benefits Everyone…
•
Ensures the most efficient & effective use of industry resources and
talent
•
Seeks to develop standards with organizations that
•
Offer the broadest inclusion of all stakeholders
•
Facilitate direct industry participation
•
Provide the most cost-effective processes
•
Deliver the most easily accessible standards
•
Protects and promotes the business interests of a company by
aligning standards strategies to support business strategies
•
Allows for Quality systems to be fully supported and integrated
throughout the supply chain
•
Guarantees that standards function as enablers for business not as
barriers to trade
Global Industry Standards – enablers for future
growth and success
