ASD-STAN

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ASD-STAN ( ASD STAN) is an organization that creates standards for the European aerospace industry. These standards are sold as ASD-STAN prEN and then adopted as EN in the official standards of the CEN (Comité Européen de Normalization - European Standards Organization).

ASD-STAN was previously known as the Association of European Aircraft and Component Manufacturers Standardization and Association Européenne des Constructeurs de Matériel Aérospatial Normalization (AECMA-STAN).

Department D05 "Autonomous Flying"

Department D06 "Quality"

The quality department includes the development and maintenance of all quality-relevant documents in the area of ​​product safety and quality management. The D6 department covers the development of documents with regard to product assurance and quality management, quality assurance, security management, reliability, availability and maintenance assurance as well as software product assurance.

The department primarily reflects the activities of IAQG and represents the European EAQG sector of IAQG in order to represent a European position and to be involved in the developments of IAQG. IAQG develops standards, partly as an extension to the existing quality management systems, with the aim of increasing quality and reducing costs in the entire product development. In the D6 department of ASD-STAN, the following goals are covered by IAQG:

  • Establishing common ground in aerospace and defense quality systems;
  • Create and build a process of continuous improvement (e.g. industry expectations, lean manufacturing, performance metrics);
  • Creation of methods to network best practices in the aerospace and defense industries;
  • Coordination of initiatives and activities with regulatory bodies / authorities and industrial interest groups, with the aim of considering the respective standards as acceptable evidence.

Under the umbrella of ASD and in coordination with ASD-STAN, EAQG and EASA, a set of standards for Design Organization Approval (DOA) is being developed and published by ASD-STAN.

The most prominent standards that are important for the entire aerospace industry can be found in the EN9100 series.

  • D06 / WG01 EAQG European Aerospace Quality Group
  • D06 / WG04 Design Organization Approval (DOA)

Department D07 "Digital Projects"

This area offers the standardization platform for innovative developments relating to digitization in the aerospace industry.

  • D07 / WG01 LOTAR LOng Term Archiving and Retrieval of Digital Technical Product Data
  • D07 / WG02 RFID Radio Frequency IDentification
  • D07 / WG03 built-in tests
  • D07 / WG04 Blockchain for Aviation (BC4A)

Department D08 "Aero Engines and Technologies"

In this department, standards for future drives (hybrid, electric, hydrogen, etc.) can be developed.

Department D09 "Environment"

Environmental aspects of all departments, including the classification of standards with regard to chemical substances, are covered in this department. A special focus is the compatibility with the requirements of the REACH regulation.

  • D09 / WG01 Chemical Substances Declaration Standards
  • D09 / WG02 REACH standards

cooperation

ASD-STAN cooperates interactively with various European and international organizations in standardization in the field of aerospace.

ASD-STAN acts as the Technical Committee for Aerospace at CEN and transfers all of its prENs to CEN so that they can be published as a European standard (EN).

At the European level, ASD-STAN works with ASD, EAQG, EASA and EUROCAE . There is also cooperation with the EDA in the defense sector in the aerospace industry.

At the international level there are some projects between ASD-STAN and AIA as well as SAE to create common standards. In the area of ​​quality standards for the aerospace industry, ASD-STAN is responsible for the European publication of the 9100 series of the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG). ASD-STAN works with various ISO technical committees in the aerospace industry (ISO / TC 20), materials management (ISO / TC 79, ISO / TC 155) and automation systems (ISO / TC 184).

When it comes to aerospace issues in the defense sector, ASD-STAN is part of the EDA Joint Maintenance Group for the maintenance of the EDA (European Defense Agency) EDSTAR / EDSIS. ASD-STAN supports the CEN Defense Standardization Coordination Group (DSCG) in providing the required standards for the aerospace industry. There is also a cooperation agreement with NATO.

ASD-STAN's product-related standards are used for the certification of ASD-CERT against the requirements of prEN 9133 / EN 9133 "Aerospace series - Quality management systems - Qualification Procedure for Aerospace Standard Parts" / "Aerospace - Quality management systems - Qualification procedures for aerospace and space standards ”.

Standards developed by ASD are coordinated by ASD-STAN as part of the ASD-STAN standardization process and published as ASD-STAN prEN document.

Development and publication of standards

The developments of ASD-STAN are published as Technical Report (TR) or planned European Standards (prEN). The abbreviation prEN is often seen as preEN, but must not be confused with CEN prEN and stands for "projected EN". The ASD-STAN publication prEN is identical to the CEN EN publication.

Over the years, ASD-STAN has introduced a streamlined and optimized standardization process for European aerospace standards in agreement with CEN. This follows the principles of openness, transparency and consensus building in the European Standardization Regulation (1025/2012). In accordance with the needs of the industry, it is a constant goal of ASD-STAN to reduce the lead time for the standardization process. The creation of an ASD-STAN prEN takes 12 months for design, surveys and publication and comprises the following steps:

  • New Work Item (NWI) Proposal and Agreement
  • draft
  • Ballot and review process
  • Finalization of the draft standard through updating and formatting
  • Publication as prEN

With 2275 EN standards - that is around 11% of the EN standards in Europe - ASD-STAN is one of the largest producers of European standards. In addition, 823 prENs and 66 Technical Reports have been published by ASD-STAN, which are being transformed into European standards. In 2016 there were 672 standards in the development process by around 450 experts from the European aerospace industry (data from 06/2016).

Members

The European aviation industry is represented at ASD-STAN by national industrial associations and European organizations. This enables every industrial partner, especially SMEs, to take part in the various standardization activities at ASD-STAN.

Current members of ASD-STAN:

  • Great Britain: ADS Advancing UK Aerospace, Defense, Security & Space Industries

history

ASD-STAN's roots go back to the beginning of 1970. The members of the former AECMA decided to set up a group of experts for the development of technical standards (AECMA CN). This group has been cooperating with CEN (Comité Européen de Normalization - European Standards Organization) since 1973 by making its technical standards available for publication as "EN" by CEN. After the later formal registration in Belgium as an international non-profit interest group, AECMA-STAN was recognized by CEN in 1986 as an “Associate Member” and “sole provider of aerospace standards”.

In 2004 AECMA joined forces with two other European aviation organizations (European Defense Industries Group), EDIG and Eurospace, to form ASD, the Aerospace and Defense Industries Association of Europe. united.

The term "ASD" was often a synonym for the specifications "ASD Spec 1000D", "AECMA Spec 2000M" and "ASD Simplified Technical English" developed by this organization (see links below).
