SAE International and IAQG Sign Landmark Agreement for Global Aerospace Standards

SAE is now the single, global publisher of IAQG standards

In June 2022, the International Aerospace Quality Group® (IAQG) formally announced SAE International (SAEI) as the organization’s international standards publisher. The IAQG/SAE Standards Development and Publications Agreement takes effect on all new and newly revised standards moving forward. The first standard to fall under this new agreement will be the IAQG 9137 (IA9137), scheduled to be released early 2023.

Under the agreement, the aerospace industry will be able to turn to SAE or its global resellers to purchase new and/or newly revised standards. This agreement streamlines the development and publication process using a single, common workflow that increases speed to market while improving global distribution management.

Currently, published standards will remain under the same sector-related distribution channels.

Standard Naming

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.

Timeframe

The first standards released under the IA naming convention will be available early 2023.
