The group is formed primarily of members of the BSI ACE/61 committee – Metallic Materials for Aerospace Purposes, who are material specialists employed by the UK aerospace companies or material suppliers or are independent consultants. Many of the committee members are sponsored by ADS and are chairs of the various ACE/61 sub-committees.

Stan. 00-970 and Def. Stan. 07-85; along with those standards that are being withdrawn and may impact on ADS aerospace standards. A watching brief is also maintained on the relevant activities associated with IHS ESDU and Nadcap.
