Standards for Technical Excellence
The aerospace industry is dedicated to producing safe, reliable, and technically excellent products. In order to do so, the industry will select and use standards based on their suitability to meet safety, regulatory, and other technical needs appropriate to their products. This principle is critical and essential to ensure safe and efficient design, build, operation and maintenance of the products of our industry. This requires selecting and using standards based on technical merit, which contain the data necessary to ensure quality aircraft. The aerospace industry urges governments, legislators, and contractors to avoid arbitrarily imposing laws or policies that mandate the use of certain standards based on which organization developed them, and inhibiting the selection of the best standards based on technical merit. Actions taken or advocated to limit or influence selection based on any factor other than suitability for the purpose potentially incur grave risks to the safety and public confidence in the aerospace industry.
