EXPERIENCE THE MANY BENEFITS STRATEGIC STANDARDIZATION
AFFORDS YOU, YOUR ORGANIZATION, THE INDUSTRY.
Standards. The workhorse documents that commonize practices, processes, and products throughout the aerospace
industry are also paramount to the advancement of technology. Standards documents are more than the practices of
today. They account for history and anticipate the future of technology, regulation, and business. The direct benefits of
standards are simple in concept but extraordinary in their global impact toward ever-safer, cleaner, more efficient worldwide
transportation.
Technical standards enable and enhance:
* consistent and clear expectations for product performance and reliability
* regulatory compliance
* consistent product quality
* compatibility and interoperability
* more efficient procurement

Standardization also:
* lowers trade barriers
* lowers purchasing costs
* decreases design time
* promotes innovation
* increases new technology speed to market
Because industry can rely on standards for globally harmonized solutions to common issues, individual companies can
devote more time and resources to advance their proprietary technology. In this way, standards help foster competition,
which advances the collective technology of industry and in turn, creates the need for new and revised standards. This has
been the cycle for nearly a century of aerospace standards solutions.
And, at the heart of those solutions is SAE International, the world's largest, most respected aerospace standards
development organization (SDO). From design to build, operate, and maintain, SAE International works hand-in-hand with
the global aerospace community to advance industry.
