Standards Coordination Working Group

From a UK perspective, this working group is focused on the development of international standards and specifications which address ‘Information sharing related to Support’.

This includes but is not limited to the S-Series suite of Integrated Product Support (IPS) specifications and the NATO AP10 IPS standard.

Other topics and standards include; Long Term Archive and Retrieval (LOTAR), the range within the Standards for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) including Product Lifecycle Support (PLCS), Defence Standard 05-10 – Product Definition Information and the standards related to Systems Engineering, especially ISO15288.

One purpose of the working group is to maintain a conduit between UK Defence NATO and ASD. This will be a two-way interchange.

The TD-Info Managing Director will provide updates on standards development via the work he performs with NATO and ASD.

The working group can provide, via the TD-Info Managing Director and other activities, UK Defence input to the various standards and specifications working groups.

 The working group is a part of the IPS Community of Practice.
