SAE STANDARDS AND YOU

The Role of Standards in our Everyday Lives

SAE INTERNATIONAL


Aerospace AutomotiveCommercial Vehicles

SAE International is a global body of scientists, engineers,

and practitioners that advances self-propelled vehicle and

system knowledge in a neutral forum for the benefit of

society.

SAE International is a not-for-profit, non-lobbying

technical organization and membership association with

138,000 members in over 100 countries.

There’s more to SAE Standards than meets the eye!

Standards are so pervasive in our lives,

we overlook the basic value they provide.

Behind the scenes, standards make

everyday life work.

They provide rules, guidelines, or

characteristics for activities or their

results. They coalesce markets. And,

they save organizations money.

Standards…

• Enhance health, safety and quality of life

• Facilitate global trade and market access

• Support product reliability and quality

• Reduce costs, improve supplier relations

• Guide business communications and marketing

• Advance innovation and new technologies

• Support regulatory goals and compliance

• Transfer technology to the marketplace

The Role of Standards in our Everyday Lives 3

SAE International standards do all of the above specifically for mobility

engineering, that is, self-propelled vehicles such as aircraft, automobiles,

trucks, construction and agricultural vehicles.

SAE INTERNATIONAL


Standards are everywhere.

“Standards, in one form or another, have always underpinned

trade and business. Standards, including codes of practice and

guides as well as formal standards, support compatibility and

drive down costs through use of common parts, specifications

and methods.

They can also help open markets, create new industries and

realize the potential of new technologies.

Standards are so much a part of our daily routine that we use

them without even being aware of doing so, and without giving

thought to how they are created or the benefits they provide.”

[United Kingdom National Standardization Strategic Framework,

page 2 (2003); http://www.nssf.info/FinalDocument.pdf]


SAE INTERNATIONAL


Standards are all around us and are used continuously.

Everyone is familiar with standard units of measure. Length, weight, temperature,

and time all follow a standard convention to ensure commonality and a common

reference.

• The familiar International System of Units (SI) is part of the International System of

Quantities (ISQ).

– The ISQ is defined in the ISO/IEC 80000 family of standards.

Practically all products we use are designed to standards and are

tested to conform to standards.

• Textiles – clothing, bedding

• Furniture, cabinets

• Household appliances

• Building materials

• Plumbing

• Cars

• Electric distribution

• Information technology devices

• Toys

• Safety equipment

• Aircraft

• Petroleum

• Signs and symbols

• Terminology, language, communication

SAE International Aerospace Standards enable safer and more

efficient air travel.

Approximately 1800 SAE

International standards are

used in the development of a

typical airliner.

The first aerospace standard

was written in 1916.

Today there are over 8500

active aerospace standards

and over 17500 historical

standards in circulation.

SAE International writes standards for aircraft – for all facets inside

and out.

The SAE SEAT Committee addresses the seat, the occupant

restraint system, the interface of electrical and entertainment

system components with the seat, and the seating system

interface to other parts/aspects of the aircraft. Examples:

• AS8049B Performance Standard for Seats in Civil Rotorcraft,

Transport Aircraft, and General Aviation Aircraft

• AS8043B Restraint Systems for Civil Aircraft

The SAE A-20 Aircraft Lighting committee addresses aircraft

lighting equipment– design, manufacture, operation,

maintenance, and in-service experience. Example:

• ARP378: Passenger Reading Lights

The SAE A-10 Aircraft Oxygen Equipment committee addresses

aircraft oxygen equipment–design, maintenance, and in-service

experience. Example:

• AS8025A Passenger Oxygen Mask


SAE INTERNATIONAL


SAE International writes standards for aircraft deicing, an operation

which has been seen by air travelers worldwide.

The SAE G-12 Aircraft Ground

Deicing is dedicated to

creating, preparing, and

maintaining all relevant

specifications, standards, and

requirements for aircraft

ground deicing systems.

Examples include:

• ARP4737 Aircraft Deicing/Anti-

Icing Methods

• AMS1428G Fluid, Aircraft

Deicing/Anti-Icing, Non-

Newtonian (Pseudoplastic),

SAE Types II, III, and IV

• ARP5149b Training Program

Guidelines for Deicing/Anti-

Icing of Aircraft on Ground

While SAE International’s impact on the global history of the automotive industry is

undeniable, here are a few examples of its pervasive impact on cars.

SAE maintains over 3000

ground vehicle standards.

Did you know? SAE International

J300 – Engine Oil Viscosity

Classification is the standard for

classifying engine oil viscosity.

You’ve probably seen those

classification ratings on oil

containers in stores

everywhere!
