SAE INTERNATIONAL SIGNS AGREEMENT TO SHARE
TECHNICAL INFORMATION WITH INTERNATIONAL CIVIL
AVIATION ORGANIZATION
SAE International and the
International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) have
committed to an even closer
partnership through the signing
of an updated memorandum
of understanding (MoU).
This agreement, signed
on 12th December 2017 by
SAE International Director,
Aerospace Standards David
Alexander and ICAO Secretary General Dr. Fang Liu, will help to increase overall
safety, sustainability and efficiency for the aviation industry through the greater
collaboration between ICAO and the aviation industry standardization bodies,
including SAE International, ARINC IA - an SAE ITC program, EUROCAE, and RTCA.
This landmark agreement is the product of several years of increased collaboration
and partnership. SAE and ICAO first signed an MoU in 2009, updated in 2015, to
provide for the use of SAE standards to support ICAO activities and materials.
ICAO is an important and increasingly proactive partner with industry and aviation
authorities in developing technical standards. SAE International was honored in 2016
to be named as an official organization to participate in ICAO meetings, and work is
ongoing in the development of a new SAE standard, AS6413, establishing technical
requirements for the packaging performance of lithium batteries transported as
cargo on aircraft as requested by ICAO in 2015. This updated agreement makes
yet greater provision for the mutual use of SAE International and ICAO materials in
supporting aviation safety, operations and environmental protection.
"SAE International recognizes the importance of the partnership between ICAO
and the global aviation industry in advancing aviation safety and efficiency through
the use of industry standards, and we welcome ICAO's leadership in actualizing
this collaboration now and in the future through this updated agreement." noted
David Alexander.
