IAQG selects SAE International as global publisher of standards
- Written by The Express
The first standard to fall under this new agreement will be the IAQG 9137 (IA9137), scheduled to be released later this year.
Under the IAQG/SAE Standards Development and Publications Agreement, organizations will be able to turn to SAE or one of their many global resellers to purchase new and/or newly revised standards. This agreement is designed to streamline the development and publication process using a single, common workflow that increases the speed to market while improving global distribution management.
“The IAQG/SAE Standards Development and Publications Agreement is based on a 25-year partnership between SAE and IAQG,” stated Andy Maher, IAQG president and member company representative for BAE Systems. “Their solid reputation and proven process of global standards development makes this agreement a natural evolution.”
Currently, published standards will remain under the same sector-related distribution channels. In addition to having a singular, global publisher, the new and newly revised standards will have a consistent look and format. For example, the naming structure for newly developed and released standards will follow the standard naming prefix of IA (for International Aerospace). Previously released standards will transition from sector designations of AS, EN, SJAC or JISQ to the new singular designation at the time of revision.
“SAE International is honored to continue and enhance the longstanding and successful partnership with IAQG in the development and publication of global quality standards for the aerospace and defense sectors,” said Sr. Director Standards David Alexander for SAE International. “SAE’s recognized consensus process and platform, coupled with worldwide distribution through direct and reseller networks will accelerate the speed and availability of the standards.”
IAQG sets the standard for quality within the worldwide supply chain within the aviation, space and defense industry. IAQG currently maintains 26 active standards that establishes common/shared tools and methods for quality improvement. To learn more, visit https://iaqg.org.
