Technical Standards

The preparation of Standards in the AS, AGS and ESC series is part of a continuous program of standardisation managed by the Technical Standards Committee of ADS.

ADS Standards are published as part of a series of ADS Aerospace Industry Standards and, where appropriate, additional manufacturing and inspection requirements are issued as Reference Sheets (RS) or Technical Specifications (TS).

Please note that ADS itself does not produce or distribute aerospace components. However, ADS does maintain a list of qualified manufacturers for ADS Aerospace Industry Standard Parts - see link to document TS200 below.

Aerospace Sector Certification Scheme

TS157 Aerospace Sector Certification Scheme (ASCS) Requirements and Procedure & TS163 Aerospace Sector Certification Scheme (ASCS) Authentication of Aerospace Experience have been superseded by the UK Standard Operating Procedure for the ASCS program. The does not require a standard to govern this as the UK CBMC (governing committee) has invoked AS/prEN/JISQ 9104 directly. The UK SOP describes the interpretation of 9104.

Technical Standards - Disclaimer

ADS or representatives accept no responsibility for the continued quality of hardware items produced against the relevant drawings and specifications; this responsibility remains with the user. Whilst ADS takes all reasonable care in the preparation of all standards, neither ADS, its officers, employees, servants, agents or representatives shall have any responsibility or liability whatsoever with respect to any act or omission (whether negligent or not) of whatsoever nature of, or in connection with, the preparation of the Standards or any part thereof and all and any such liabilities is herby excluded.

ADS Standards may be changed from time to time, and both users and manufacturers of these parts should ensure that they are in possession of the latest issue of the Standards and supporting documentation before adoption or the commencement of production. Each Standard sheet in the series is a photographic reproduction of a master drawing and references to scales are not necessarily correct. A master Index to all of these Standards is published separately.

All reference to Standards include reference to RS and TS publications

A master index and further information can be obtained from ADS.
