European Handbook for Defence Procurement - Call for MOD and Industry ExpertsThe European Handbook for Defence Procurement (EHDP) contains references to standards and standard-like specifications commonly used to support defence procurement contracts, as well as guidance on the selection of standards and Please note: Many standardization stakeholders within the European nations are keen to get more informed advice and direction regarding the selection of standards for use in defence applications. Consequently, there is strong support to make the EHDP the primary source for the selection of best practice standards. The kick-off meeting for EHDP Phase III is scheduled for Thursday 8 October 2009 (09.30 - 16.15 hrs) in the CEN Management Centre, Avenue Marnix 17, B-1000 Brussels. Phase III includes revisiting the standards identified by the first 8 Expert Groups to ensure the list of documents and guidance material is up to date and represents best practice. Expert Groups 1-8 cover:
Experts who participated in Expert Groups 1 to 8 and other interested
experts are invited to provide notification of their interest in attending
the kick-off meeting - details can be found below.
Experts have already been identified for EG 17 and EG 19 but experience has shown that some nations provide multiple attendances usually from the defence industries. Once again, interested experts are invited to provide notification of their interest in attending the kick-off meeting - details can be found below. Interested experts should contact me as indicated below. I am happy to answer any enquiries and experts who wish to attend should provide me with the necessary contact details i.e. name, organisation, address, phone number and email address. Please send this information by email. Thanking you in advance, Dave Wilkinson | ||||

The Role of Industry in the Development & Application of StandardsIt is recognized by the European Defence Agency (EDA) that Defence Industries have the greater experience in the application of standards (both civil and defence) for defence purposes, and therefore the role they play in the development and application of standards is critical to defence procurement. As a result, the European Defence Agency (EDA) commissioned 'The Study into the Role of European Industry in the Development and Application of Standards' which is now available. If you would like a copy of the Executive Summary or the document itself, please contact Head DStan International at the MOD's UK Defence Standardization organisation in Kentigern House, Glasgow Dave Wilkinson | ||||

Role of European Industry in the Development and Application of Standards - Help Wanted with EDA StudyAre you experiencing problems in the development and application of standards? It is recognised that the Defence Industries have the greater experience in the application of standards (both defence and civil) for defence purposes and therefore, the role they play in the development and application of standards is critical to defence procurement. The European Defence Agency (EDA) has let a contract for a study into the role of "European Industry in the Development and Application of Standards". Consequently, the contractor is searching for more specific and detailed opinions on the following issues:
It is especially important to understand the opinions of small/medium and large size industries in order to determine a compromise position. Similarly, it is important to understand the MOD Subject Matter Experts' appraisal of the role played by Industry and whether improvements can be introduced. Therefore, if any MOD and Industry personnel are interested in presenting their points of view and/or being involved in any subsequent discussions including a potential workshop at EDA HQ, Brussels, please contact me at the MOD's UK Defence Standardization organisation in Kentigern House, Glasgow.

Def Stan 00-18 Avionic Data Transmission Interface Systems Series ReviewOn behalf of the Dir Safety & Engineering, DE&S, the ASSC is currently conducting a review of the extant sections of the Def Stan 00-18 series and is canvassing the knowledge and opinion of users of data-networks and interface standards in general. The output of the review will give the Dir Safety & Engineering a better appreciation of the currency of the technical content and the use of the different parts of Def 00-18 by suppliers in the UK defence market. Ultimately, this information will be used to support decisions on whether parts of these standards will be maintained or cancelled. This is inline with other DStan initiatives which will ensure that the portfolio of Def Stans is as taut as possible.

EUROPEAN HANDBOOK FOR DEFENCE PROCUREMENT - THE EHDP NEEDS YOU!The development of the European Handbook for Defence Procurement (EHDP) continues and three new Expert Groups (EGs) are being established by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Workshop 10 to look at key subject areas:
The aim of the EDHP is to provide guidance in the selection of best practice standards. The most important criterion for a WS 10 Key Area is the existence of an appropriate number of standards to select the best practice one. This means that in a relatively new area of technology (e.g. Unmanned Land Vehicles) there may not be a sufficient number of standards to assess or indeed no standards at all. At this point it is important to remember that the goal of WS 10 is not to create new standards for areas where a lack of standards has been identified but to select the best practice standard(s) for an area where a number of similar standards are "on the market". It is expected that the Kick-Off-Meeting for WS 10, Phase III will be held early in 2009 and therefore MOD and Industry experts are urgently required to populate these three new Expert Groups.
