ASD-STAN


		In order to prevent any duplication or overlap between standards developed by other Standards Developing Organisations (SDO) and ASD-STAN, a number of liaison agreements are currently in existence. The liaisons allow each of the Standards Developing Organisations to make best use of their limited resources available with respect to cost and time, whilst at the same time providing clarity, focus and transparency for industry experts.
		Each liaison aims to layout the parameters of agreement between the two organisations for the exchange of data in fields of activity where each SDO has an interest.
		Such exchanges are reciprocal and take the form of two distinct category types.

Categories of Liaisons Agreements

	Category A	Category B
1. Meeting agendas and minutes	4	4
2. Active participation in the work of the Domain/TC - Shared draft documents - Joint meetings - Direct team participation	4 4 4
3. Visibility of work programme	4	4

Each Domain and / or Technical Committee (TC) is assigned a category type and nominated representatives from both organisations are responsible for the exchange of data between the two bodies. These are defined separately in each of the liaison agreements.
