Verification of Standards

in MOD Contracts:A Mandatory Requirement

UK Defence Standardization (DStan) operates a Standards Verification Service for the Ministry of Defence (MOD),in order to mitigate the potentially serious contractual, financial, and legal risks caused by referencing incorrectStandards in their Invitation to Tenders (ITTs) or Contracts. The DStan Helpdesk can confirm the currency andvalidity of Standards contained within MOD ITTs or Contracts, but stops short of commenting on the technicalappropriateness of Standards for their intended purpose. DStan can however provide assistance with this as aseparate issue through the various layers of support available through their Helpdesk.

This free Standards Verification Service is a mandatory requirement for all MOD, not just DE&S, ITTs andContracts in excess of 5M. The Service is also available for lower value contracts and can be found in theCommercial Managers Toolkit on the Acquisition Operating Framework (AOF).

The list of Standards that DStan can verify is provided below and will increase as further referencing facilitiescome on line.

EDITORIAL

Wece isse 221 (J 2011) Sid news. as s, s ee se dS. We e vve e ves, w e

uK mod, e ie ae.

One o our key outputs this year is the development o an Exportability Standard. This ollows Secretaryo State or Deences statement that we will ensure that our own requirements or new equipment are

designed rom their inception with exportability in mind. DStans initiative is key to maintaining the UKDeence Industrys position as successul Deence exporter. We have also input into the Governments drat

Green Paper on deence and security.

In this issue we have a number o interesting related articles. We take an overview o CENs work in

European Deence Standardization. DStan have been involved with a number o these such as EDSIS andEDSTAR (ormerly the European Handbook or Deence Procurement). As you will note on the ront page

o our website, DStan is currently seeking advice on the CEN (European Committee or Standardization)programming mandate to establish security standards. The main rationale or the development o a

standardization map in the security area is that not enough security standards are available to ensureeective cross border security within the EU. With new EU security missions appearing, security

standards should t any existing and orseeable EU internal market requirements.

Also, Jenny Butler rom Director General Deence Commercial (DGDC) looks at the Deence and Security

Public Contracts Regulations (DSPCR) 2011, and how they will aect anyone who works in, or has anyconnection with MOD procurement.

I you have any queries, would like to comment on anything in this issue, or contribute to uture issues,

Hopelly by now the ajority o yo will be aware o the DSPcR, however or those

o yo who arent, or who have assed the DSPcR doesnt apply to yo then read

on bease i yo have anythin to do with proreent in the mOD then yo there is

S w s e dSpCr?

Currently in the European Union

(EU) the majority o deence andsensitive security equipment is

bought using national procedures,you are probably aware o the

Public Contracts Regulations (PCR)2006. These national procedures

can dier greatly between theMember States o the EU and

this creates a major obstacle toa common deence and security

equipment market in Europe.

To overcome this obstacle the EUDeence and Security Procurement

Directive was issued which isspecically adapted to the needs

o the highly sensitive deence andsecurity markets. The European

Commission hopes the newDirective will encourage some EU

Member States away rom invokingexemptions, as the new Directive

provides rules allowing eective

conduct o deence and sensitivesecurity procurement.

EU Member States are obliged

to introduce the new Directiveinto their national law or the

UK this means the new Deenceand Security Public Contracts

Regulations (DSPCR) 2011.

The result will be to open themajority o EU Member States

deence and security procurementsto competition across the EU. This

will provide European industrywith the opportunity to compete or

programmes that may previouslyhave been unairly limited to

national companies.

S w es e dSpCrec ?

From 21 August 2011, the majority

o deence and sensitive securityprocurements are expected tobe competed under the new

DSPCR through the OJEU. TheDSPCR will apply to procurement

procedures beginning on or ater21 August 2011 within its scope.The procurement o civil and non-

sensitive security goods, servicesand works will still be covered by

the PCR 2006.

The DSPCR is not entirely newand much o it refects existing

procurement law, particularly PCR2006. However or those o you in

the Saety and Engineering worldthere are some specic changes

you should be aware o such as:

The Defence and SecurityPublic Contracts Regulations

(DSPCR) 2011

a slight change in the denitiono technical specication,

common technicalspecication and British

standard;

a number o additionalstandards, including British

deence standards and deencemateriel specications that can

be used; and

a derogation or technicalrequirements to be met by

the UK under internationalstandardisation agreements

in order to guaranteeinteroperability required by

those agreements.

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?T1=V3&T2=2009&T3=81&RechTyp

e=RECH_naturel&Submit=Search .Readers interested in the technical

and standardization elements

should read:Chapter IV, Article 18, Technical

specications,in particular, theorder o preerence laid out in

paragraph 3 (a), and Annex III,Denition o certain technical

specications reerred to inChapter 18 We expect that the

directive will be transposed into theUK legal systems via a Statutory

The September 2008 Competitiveness Council

adopted conclusions on standardization and

innovation considering the essential contributionwhich standardization can make towards developinginnovation and competitiveness, by acilitating access

to markets, enabling interoperability between newand existing products, services and processes,

enhancing protection o users, giving consumerscondence in innovations and disseminating research

results. O the 29 conclusions, many can be readdirectly across to deence.

The European Commission is reviewing their action

plan or European standardization in light o theseconclusions. The Commission has provided a key

impetus or deence standardization reorm. Itsreport on Standardization Systems in the Deence

Industries o the European Union and the UnitedStates brought about the European Handbook or

Deence Procurement (EDSTAR), the EDAs EuropeanDeence Standards Inormation System (EDSIS) and

helped to steer European standardization generally.

A Euro-Interoperability study requested by theEuropean Parliaments Subcommittee or Security

and Deence suggested a CSDP StandardizationAgency within the ramework o EDA, with a

stronger civil-military component. Progress is notthat advanced but nonetheless European Deence

Standardization has matured in the past three years.The EDAs Materiel Standardization Group (MSG) isnow able to shape and propose new standardization

policy and standardization initiatives. The currentstructures, in particular the Materiel Standards

Harmonisation Team (MSHT), are delivering results.The standardization agenda presented to the EDA

Steering Board in September 2006 has been realised

and the MSHT, now rmly established, is consistently

the most active participating Member States Forum

in the EDA.

e oes

Deence standardization is a strategic tool or

improving armaments co-operation, enhancing theEuropean Deence Technological and Industrial Base

and a key enabler o an eective European DeenceEquipment Market. It is the most cost-eective way

to reinorce and to perpetuate interoperability, anda catalyst or refecting deence needs in civilian

standardization. Accordingly, the Steering Board

approved the EDA Deence Standardization Policythat refects the strategic nature o standardization,the maturity o standardization management and

the roles o the MSG and MSHT in achieving deencestandardization by:

- ensuring the coordination with key players and

their actions;

- controlling and monitoring European deence

standardization activities;

- promoting common standardization

requirements;

- providing a reerence set o common standards

or European armaments.

A Deence Standardization Roadmap providesinormation on standards and standardization

management, explains the roles and interactionso the main actors, and outlines the plans or 2009-

2011 to improve and harmonise pMS standardizationmanagement practices, to deal eectively with the

standardization requirements o new projects and

programmes, and to ensure materiel standards havetheir desired eect on operations.

The iportane o standardization in Eropean araents

o-operation and the developent o the Eropean Deene

Tehnoloial and Indstrial Base are oten nderstated.

MaterielStandardsLessonslearned-Lessonslearned rom military operations tend to have

an operational rather than materiel ocus andyet there is strong anecdotal evidence that

interoperability exists due to the incorrectapplication or specication o materiel standards.

The MSG is working with the EU Military Stain an attempt to improve the visibility o these

materiel standards lessons learned.

EuropeanDefenceStandardisationJournal-Issue 02 was released in February 2009 and

covers three main themes: standardizationmanagement and best practices; standards

development; and closer government andindustry co-operation (see Study into the Role

o European Industry in the development and

Application o Standards). As in the case othe rst Journal, contributions were receivedrom a broad stakeholder group comprising

governments, organisations and industry anddistribution has been widespread. It is intended

to continue to produce the Journal on an annualbasis in consultation with the MSG. Issue 03 is

expected later in 2011.

Under the European Deence Standards Inormation

System (EDSIS), Member States are able to proposenew or amended deence standards online. The

system automatically noties other interestedgovernments and allow or joint development o the

new standard.

StandardizationWorkshop

d 1

was an open session attended by

all delegates. It was acilitated byUSA. The opening session wasUnderstanding Standardization

Management. The aim o thissession was to explore what is

understood by standardization

management, its practicalimplementation and identicationo areas that are important to the

delegates.

Delegates discussed the needor standardization, highlighting

the resulting improvementin operational capabilities

particularly within the area o jointservices operations internally

and overcoming the challengeso standardizing with allies

around the world. There wasagreement that higher reliability

leads to a reduction o inventory,maintenance and spare parts

with standardization, enablingan increase in competitive

procurement processes tosupport industry, leading to a

aster response and better qualityequipment and services.

USA gave an overview o the USDoD organization elaborating

on the systems engineeringorganisation responsible or

major projects support, systemsengineering plans and root cause

analysis, mission assurance,

policies and procedures as well asreliability and maintainability.

USA explained that each militarydepartment has a Departmental

Standardization Oce (DepSOs),responsible or the application

o standards. The departmentsassign the standardization

management activities rolesbased on expertise and interest

in a Federal Supply Class (FSC)or standardization area. An oce

can be a Lead StandardizationActivity (LSA), undertaking tasks

such as the approval to develop oradopt standards, or a Preparing

Activity, undertaking tasks such aspreparing standards and resolving

comments. USA also conrmedthat they have just one National

Standards Body, the AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI);

however, there are approximately600 voluntary standards

bodies where ANSI acts as thecoordinating body. Organisations

such as the American Society orTesting and Materials (ASTM) cansubmit their standards through the

ANSI system.

Delegates agreed on the need toshare inormation on best practice

with a view to incorporating

it into the MSHTs (MaterielStandardization HarmonisationTeam) evolving Best Practice

Deence StandardizationManagement Model.

The second session was Raising

the Prole o StandardizationManagement. The aim o this

session was to identiy wayso broadcasting the value o

standardization management to keystakeholders.

GBR presented on theirexperiences o raising the prole

o standardization management.GBR ocused on the need to

engage early with projects teams.GBR also stressed the need or

eective communication using

media such as regular newsletters,publications such as SID NEWSand an up to date website. GBR are

currently investigating the concepto a standardization champion at

1* or 2* level (Brigadier and MajorGeneral respectively).

FRA commented that they are

working on building an innovativetool to promote standards and to

ocus on the experts involved. Theinnovation tool is expected to be

ready in mid 2011 and will raise theprole o standardization in France.

BSI stated that they publishedapproximately 3,000 new, revised

or amended standards across allsectors per year and could only

actively market a selection ohigh prole standards centrally,

thereore, BSI rely on its

relationships with its stakeholdersto raise awareness via articles,press releases, calls or expertise,

joint events, etc. BSI has recentlydeveloped a Public Inormation

Portal and two review sites wherethe general public or interested

organisations can comment on anyNational, European or International

new work item proposal or a publicenquiry drat. BSI also produces

leafets advising how public and

private organisations can getinvolved in the development ostandards.

All attendees agreed that there

was a need raise the prole ostandardization management

and communicate the value ostandardization management more

eectively. They also agreed tocollaborate on producing a pictorial

representation o standardizationmanagement in a battleeld

scenario.

The third session wasStandardization Management as

a Through Lie Process. The aimo this session was to explore the

benets o early application ostandardization management.

GBR presented on the benetso standardization at the earlieststage o a project, giving a graphical

representation and an overview othe key stages o standardization

management. The key message othis presentation was As civilian as

possible as military as necessaryin line with the European DeenceProcurement Directive.

GBR explained the Standardization

Management Through-Lie Activitybased on the CADMID Cycle,

taking delegates through thestandardization considerations and

actions expected at each step. GBRcommented that The benets o

the strategic use o standardizationwere demonstrated in the Type

45 Destroyer acquisition project,including upgradeable systems,

fexibility to procure commercial

o the shel (COTS) products andewer and simpler systems tosupport.

DEU, FRA and USAs MOD

attendees agreed that there was aneed to apply standardization more

eectively as a project throughlie process. They also agreed to

compare methods o operation withthat o the UKs Standardization

Management Plan and where

appropriate, share inormationwith the other MSHT members andpropose amendments to the Best

Practice Deence StandardizationManagement Model.

The ourth session was Enhancingthe Role o Industry in the

Development and Application oStandards. The aim o this session

was to build on the results o theEDA Industry Study and Workshop.


12/26


GBR presented an overview o

the EDA study (ADA 08-ARM-003)which is available on the EDA

extranet and ocused on identiyingcurrent collaboration and uture

opportunities or the role oindustry in standards development

and their application.

Many recommendations romthe EDA study are considered to

have been met by the creationo the Best Practise Deence

Standardization ManagementModel and the European Deence

Standardization Inormation System(EDSIS), a portal to allow nations

the opportunity to participate inthe development o dual national

deence standards with multilateralendorsement. The USA oered to

add their cooperation by agreeing totrial a project using on EDSIS.

All MOD attendees agreed

to approach Industry andother stakeholders regarding

participating in a 2012 MOD/Industry standardization workshop

including assisting with the agendaand providing presentations.

The last session o day 1 was

Fostering the Development oCivil Standards to meet Deence

Requirements. The aim o thissession was to identiy how, each

MOD works with its NationalStandards organisation e.g. BSI in

the development o civil standardsand to utilise the CEN-CENELEC

Forum or Deence ProcurementStandardization, to identiy key

agenda items or uture meetings.

DEU presented an overviewo the nature o cooperation

between the German Deence

and Civil Standardization Bodys.DEU explained that the Federal

Oce o Deence Technology andProcurement (BWB) maintain

a close cooperation with thecivil national standardization

organisation (DIN) by way o anannual contract where a number

o posts in DIN are dedicatedto deence material related

standardization and other postsare retained or the purpose o

coordinating and controlling.

There was general agreement onthe need to encourage deence

and civil standards experts to workmore closely together in order

to oster greater development ocivil standards to meet deence

requirements.


13/26


d 2

was an open session attended byall delegates. It was acilitated by

GBR. The opening session wasDetermining ways o getting

better Feedback on Standardization

Problems. The aim o this sessionwas to encourage MOD ProjectManagers and Industry to provide

the pertinent inormation and theutilisation o EDSIS and other tools.

GBR explained that in order to

gain eedback on standardizationproblems, they have organised

awareness events in Abbey Woodand the routinely gather data

rom their standards vericationservice administered by the DStan

helpdesk. The helpdesk operateson a three tier level. At 1st line,

sta are available to respond togeneral enquiries by telephone and

e-mail. At 2nd line dedicated deskocers are available to answers

queries such as the operatingtemperature o paint. At 3rd line

subject matter experts can becontacted to provide more detailed

specialist advice.

BSI inormed delegates that asa result o a recent risk audit

undertaken at BSI technicalenquiries regarding a standard canbe discussed within the committee

responsible or the document toestablish a need or an amendment

or review.

There was general consensus

that nations should explore howto obtain better eedback onstandardization problems including

lessons learned in applyingstandards and how to channel it

back to standardization partners.

The second session was MoreEective Standardization

Management Advice and Guidance.The aim o this session was to

identiy the requirements o the

key stakeholders; particularly MODProject Managers and Industry.

GBR presented their concept and

key principles o standardizationmanagement covering the selection

o standards and integrationwith project teams through to

tailoring and controlling changethrough lie. GBR explained that

a key problem is project teamsnot selecting standards correctly,or example, using the standards

reerences rom previous or similarcontracts instead o relating the

standards reerences to the currentrequirements documents. GBR

also stressed that project teamsshould use international standards

i available and civil standardswhere possible in order to prevent

barriers to trade.

FRA explained that they have aportolio o standards dedicated

to each armament programmeand that contract can be changed

or modied to a new version o astandard with industry agreement

and that advice is given at all stageso a programme.

All nations agreed on the

importance o providing moreeective standardization

management advice and guidance,and that the correct selection o

standards early in the lie o aproject was vital in reducing the

through lie costs.

The third session was Creation

o New Tools/Expansion oExisting Tools to be Transatlantic

Friendly. The aim o this session

was to identiy the standardizationmanagement tools used by theUSA, compare them with European

tools such as EDSIS and the EHDPand identiy potential areas o

collaborative development.

GBR presented an overviewo European standardization

management tools including,EDSIS and the European Handbook

or Deence Procurement (EHDP).

USA presented an overview o theUS DoD ASSIST tools.

EDSIS is owned and managed bythe EDA and infuenced by MSHT

who also provide the EDSIS content.EDSIS currently provides detailed

inormation o nations deencestandardization projects leading

to the development o bilateral

deence standards. Currentlyunder development are areaswithin EDSIS covering proposals,

problems, policies, procedures, etc.

EDHP will soon be renamed

EDSTAR and contains reerencesto standards and standard-like

specications commonly usedto support deence procurement

contracts, as well as guidanceon the selection o standards and

standard-like specications tooptimise eectiveness, eciency

and interoperability. Originallyunded by the EC and managed by

CEN, ownership transerred to EDAin June 2011.

ASSIST is the primary tool or US

deence programmes. ASSISTcomprises a ull index and ull

text database or all military

specications and has an automaticchange notication acility. ASSISTis a series o sites and tools held

on public and protected sites.Currently NATO documents are

uploaded manually although anautomated data eed is hoped or

the uture. The Weapons SystemImpact Tool (WSIT) is populated

by stock numbers which areassociated with specications

and go through weapons system

codes so approximately hal adozen databases are automaticallyqueried.

All nations agreed to create newtools and to expand existing tools

to be transatlantic riendly. DEU,FRA and the UK agreed to utilise

the added value that the USAbrought to the table in the orm

o standardization managementexpertise, tools and lessons

learned.


14/26


The ourth session wasOpportunities or Resource andInormation Sharing. The aim o

this session was to build upon thepartnerships already conceived

during the MSHT deliberationsand to identiy inormation owned

by nations that would benet theirinternational colleagues.

GBR invited delegates to consider

inormation owned by nations that

could be shared or the benet otheir international colleagues tourther build upon partnerships

already established within theMSHT.

It was agreed that there are

a number o German deencestandards as well as a number oUK deence standards that could be

reviewed with a view to includingaspects o these into NATO

documents. Also NATO have beenconducting a survey to nd specic

documents and have identiedapproximately 12 documents

thought to be candidates ortranser to Civil SDOs (Standards

Developing Organisations). Aormal letter will issue a request

or inormation to SDOs who haveTCAs (Technical Cooperation

Agreements) with NATO. It was

agreed that NATO should initiatethe establishment o TCAs with BSI,DIN and AFNOR.

There was general discussionon the lack o internet tools oraccessing standards. Delegates

commented that some standardsdatabases allow documents to be

downloaded ree o charge andothers dont, which makes access

to standards an issue and a sourceo tension.

EDA are currently conducting

a study to assess the easibility

o joint access to standards tosupplement or replace presentparticipating Member States

(pMS) o the EDA and industryarrangements or the access to and

provision o standards. Centralisingthe provision o standards is

expected to result in more ecientsupply o standards and overall cost

savings to the Member States (anddeence industry).

The th session was Identiyingthe Key Standardization

Management Drivers that EnhanceDeence Acquisition. The aim o

this session was to identiy thekey standardization management

services that impact on deenceacquisition/procurement, to

consider the eectiveness o thoseservices and any gaps that need to

be lled.

GBR asked delegates to considerthe drivers or standardization

management in deence acquisitionincluding cost, availability andaccess to advice and guidance.

FRA commented that standards

should be in place and availablebeore the build programme with a

database o subject matter experts.FRA also warned that the cost o

buying standards is passed on toMODs and so these costs should

be kept low. GBR conrmed that

DSTAN supply DeStans ree ocharge. USA stated that US military

standards are ree o charge butthird parties charge because they

are able to provide a one-stop-shopto standards buyers. DEU stated

that eight years ago every oce inthe German Army bought their own

standards but now have a contractgiving access to all standards.

The nal session o Day 2 was How

to Manage Closer Cooperation. Theaim o this session was to decide

how to take cooperation orwardin order to maintain the 4 nations

MOD, Civil Standards and Industrypartnership.

Delegates commented; on the

importance o sharing inormationand utilising other stakeholder

networks; that standardizationshould be promoted to those

who dont value standards asmuch as they should; on the


15/26


need or a themed workshop

or bilateral standards projectswhere processes and procedures

can be agreed to achieve betterinteroperability; that we should

think more multinational thannational to refect the increase in

large procurement programmeson an international basis; that

standardization management hadprogressed signicantly in the last

10 years with the ormation o CENWorkshop 10 and the MSHT.

The Chair thanked all Industry andCivil Standards experts or their

valuable contributions over the rsttwo days.

d 3

was a closed session attended

by national MOD delegates only.It was acilitated by FRA with the

opening session being Evaluatingthe Roles o the CS (Committee

or Standardization), CSREPS(Committee or Standardization

Representatives), SMWG

(Standardization ManagementWorking Group), NSA (NATOStandardization Agency) and NSSG

(NATO Standardization Sta Group).

FRA delivered an interestingpresentation describing the

stakeholders within NATO and theirrelationship with the NSO (NATO

Standardization Organisation).FRA stated that there was noroadmap or long term vision and

that there was a need to enhancethe eciency o the CS. All

parties agreed that the CS shouldbe involved in, NSA resource

allocation, NSO ManagementPlanning, Meeting Management

and liaising with NSO Stakeholders.

GBR proposed that the CSREPSshould be co-chaired by an elected

nation. GBR urther explained thathad a co-chair been in place then

the task to monitor the nationalimplementation o 145 critical

STANAGs would not have been

orced on nations as many o themdid not have processes in place.

All nations agreed in principalhowever it was suggested that

the proposal be put on the backburner until the uture o the NSA is

known. Discussion also took placeon changing the meeting style o

the CS to that o a workshop. GBRexplained that at the moment

only a ew nations contribute atmeetings and that a workshop style

would encourage more nations tocontribute.

The second session wasDeveloping a Closer Relationship

between the NSO and its KeyNATO Stakeholders. The aim o

this session was to discuss theNSO relationship with Tasking

Authorities, ACT (Allied CommandTransormation) and ACO (Allied

Command Operations) with greaterawareness o NATO STANAG and

Standards development.

FRA delivered a presentationhighlighting better support o the

CS and its working structure, TAscoordination through the NSSG,

liaison with the civilian world andenhanced management tools.

GBR stated that we can streamline

the principals by reviewing the NSOorder o business, that nations

should have a say in the NSAinterace with key stakeholders,

that the CSREPS should work moreas a team and brie colleagues on

issues being discussed in NATOand that we need a clear view o

the stakeholder position. GBRproposed that the organizational

principals should be produced byan ad-hoc group o the CSREPS(custodial team).

The third session was Monitoring

the Implementation o STANAGs.The aim was to identiy how nations

monitor or intend to monitor

implementation and to consider the

extent to which we should monitor/record implementation.

FRA gave a presentation on the

relationship o NATO Policies andProcesses. There was agreement

that there needed to be a top

level mandate rom NATO statingthat nations shall monitor theimplementation o STANAGs. It was

also agreed that nations also needto submit this request up through

their national channels.

The ourth session Enhancing

the Role that StandardizationManagement plays in achieving

Interoperability and the thsession Development o the NSP

(NATO Standardization Process)within the rame o NDPP (NATO

Deence Planning Process) wascovered together.

FRA gave a presentation covering

the standardization process withinthe wider interoperability process

and stated that we need to developthe NSP process. GBR made

the point that it was importantto link STANAGs to capabilities.

All nations agreed that the NSOshould conduct an exercise to

dene the roles, responsibilitiesand accountabilities o the CS,

CSREPS and the SMWG. It was alsoagreed that they should create a

process to produce a portolio oSTANAGs linked to capabilities.

GBR commented on the importanceo having a strong relationship

between the NSO and the MSHT.

The closing remarks were madeby Mr Peter Kidd who stated that

he considered the StandardizationWorkshop to have been a greatsuccess. He thanked all delegates

or their enthusiasm and input overthe last 3 days and rearmed his

opening remarks that the workshopwas a unique event and that it

would orm a basis or continuedcooperation.


16/26

Only recently, the DeenceSecretary launched a new orumo 11 Northern European nationsto improve Britains deence andsecurity cooperation with ourNorthern European neighbours.The rst orum o its kind,consisting o the Nordic and BalticStates plus Germany and Poland,will enable the UK to engage withcountries who are not members oboth NATO and the EU.

Similarly, the UK MODs DeenceStandardization organisation(DStan) is an active memberin the Materiel StandardizationHarmonisation Team (MSHT)whose participants currentlyinclude Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,Czech Republic, Estonia, France,Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia,Poland, Romania, Slovenia,Slovakia, Sweden, Turkey, UK andUSA. It also enables the UK toengage with countries who arenot members o both NATO andthe EU; and at the same time,the MSHT acts as an interacebetween NATOs StandardizationOrganisation and the EDAsMateriel Standards Group.

The MSHT members, as wellas identiying best practiceand sharing resources, areworking closely with NATO (50

Nations and Partner Nations),EDA (26 Nations), the EuropeanCommission and CEN-CENELECin:

identifyingbestpracticeformonitoring the implementationo NATO StandardizationAgreements (STANAGs)which are so important to theachievement o battleeld

interoperability;

determiningEDAsStandardization Policy andRoadmap;

developingtheEuropeanDeence StandardizationInormation System (EDSIS)which is intended to bethe European portal orstandardization management

inormation and available to theinternational community;

improvingMOD/Industrycooperation in the developmentand application o standards;

determiningthefeasibilityofa central source or accessingstandards or deenceacquisition in order to providestandards in a more costeective manner;

thedevelopmentoftheEuropean Handbook orDeence Procurement (EHDP)which is to be re-named theEuropean Deence StandardsReerential (EDSTAR) andis geared towards theidentication o best practicestandards and selection adviceor MOD Project Managers andIndustry contractors; both MODand Industry standards expertsare actively involved in itsdevelopment.

The overarching drive to digdeeper to improve deencestandardization managementin the UK and internationallyresulted in a workshop beingheld in Glasgow during March2011 with MOD, Industry and CivilStandardization experts romFrance, Germany, UK and the USA.This workshop is looked at in moredetail in Steven Lapsleys article inthis issue.

France, Germany and the UK haveworked together in a number ostandardization managementorums but the inclusion o theUSA brought a new dimensionto the potential o the grouping.

The additional involvement othe industry and civil standardssectors provided a valuablestakeholder network or airingnew initiatives, improving currentprocesses and seeking closercooperation internally in the

UK, on a European scale andinternationally.

The Glasgow meeting was the rsto its kind and agreement wasreached on a number o issuesincluding the need to:

raisetheproleofstandardization managementand communicate the value ostandardization management

more eectively;

applystandardizationmoreeectively as a project throughlie process;

involveIndustrytoagreaterextent in the standardizationmanagement process;

encouragedefenceandcivilstandards experts to work moreclosely together in order to

oster greater development ocivil standards to meet deencerequirements;

obtainbetterfeedbackonstandardization problemsincluding lessons learned inapplying standards;

providemoreeffectivestandardization managementadvice and guidance;

createnewtoolsandexpand existing tools to betransatlantic riendly; andutilise the added value thatthe USA brought to the tablein the orm o standardizationmanagement expertise, toolsand lessons learned.

The attendees recognisedthe value o the work beingconducted by the MSHT, the needto maintain this MOD, Industryand Civil Standards stakeholdernetwork and the importance oinvolving them in MSHT activities.

The UK, who also chairs theMSHT, agreed to table workshoprecommendations at the June2011 MSHT meeting in Budapest.More detailed inormation onthe workshop is available inan article rom Steven Lapsleywhich is included in this edition oStandards in Deence News.

As ar as bilateral cooperation isconcerned, the UK has worked

or a number o years with manynations on an individual basis e.g.Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia,France, Germany, Italy, Macedonia,Poland, Romania, Slovenia,Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland,Ukraine and Uzbekistan.

Nowadays bilateral activitiesnormally emanate romdiscussions in the MSHT whichis a orum that encourages

both bilateral and multilateralcooperation. It was a UK-Germaninitiative that encapsulated bothorms o cooperation; namelythe development o bilateraldeence standards endorsedon a multilateral basis. UKDeence Standards and GermanVG standards exist which arevirtually mirror images; and bothcontain English and German text.These standards are available or

adoption by other nations, NATOand CEN; in the case o the latter,the deence standard would becancelled in avour o the resultingcivil standard.

The EDSIS is the vehicle whereMSHT nations advertise theirintended deence standardizationprojects i.e. new standards andexisting standards that needextensive revision. Here, other

nations are invited to signiy theirinterest in working together inthe development o bilateralstandards and consequentlyreduce the number o standardsin the market place. To date, theUK, Germany and Poland haveacted as Lead Nations on theseprojects; the latest developmentis that the USA have agreed toseek suitable candidates to oerup or cooperation.

In conclusion, bilateral andmultilateral cooperation isan important responsibility oDStans international division andas such it will continue to workcooperatively with its nationaland international standardizationmanagement counterparts (MOD,Industry and Civil Standards) inthe best interests o the UK MODand in support o UK Government

initiatives.
