scope:

This order describes how the FAA tasks SAE to develop or revise standards to support FAA's establishment of policies, guidance, or TSOs. This document does not describe the SAE internal working process used to develop standards that the FAA requests.

Purpose of This Order. This order describes the process the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) uses to request the development or revision of consensus standards from the Society of Automotive Engineers, SAE International (SAE) Aerospace Council and its associated technical committees. We use these standards, as one means, to establish FAA policies, guidance, or technical standard orders (TSO).
