It also applies to measures intended to maintain the operational readiness of products.
17、 This document supports project managers in the selection and use of applicable standards and standard-like documents. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, onl
18、y the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. Directive 2009/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the coordination of procedures for the award of certain works contracts, supply
19、 contracts and service contracts by contracting authorities or entities in the fields of defence and security, and amending Directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC ISO/IEC Guide 2:2004, Standardization and related activities General vocabulary 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document,
20、the terms and definitions given in Directive 2009/81/EC and ISO/IEC Guide 2:2004 apply. 4 Order of preference 4.1 General The standards and standard-like documents applicable to contracts shall be identified by the Purchaser or agreed on proposal by contracting parties. Among them, the non-applicati
21、on of a standard requires the Purchasers written approval. 4.2 Edition For the execution of contractually agreed work the edition of the standard specified in the contract shall apply. If difficulties occur in the execution of a contract due to the fact that a new edition is issued during contract d
22、uration, it is at the discretion of the contracting parties to apply the new edition. 4.3 Preferences If, for the specification of the capability of a defence product or a service, standards or standard-like documents of different domains or origin are available and deemed suitable by the Purchasing
23、 Authority, they shall be selected and used in the following order of preference: a) Standards and other standard-like documents, which are referenced in laws, ordinances and statutory provisions; b) International Military Alliances Standards (e.g. NATO Allied Publications and associated Standardiza
24、tion Agreements (STANAG); NOTE For NATO nations this applies if the standards are ratified (without reservations) with the intention of implementation for e.g. achieving the required interoperability between forces. c) National civil standards, transposing European standards (e.g. BS EN, NF EN, DIN
25、EN,); BS EN 16341:2012EN 16341:2012 (E) 6 d) European Technical Approvals (ETA); NOTE Mainly in the construction sector. e) Common European Technical Specifications; f) National civil standards, transposing international standards (e.g. BS ISO,); g) other international civil standards; h) other tech
26、nical reference systems established by the recognized European standardization bodies. If for the present application no suitable standards or standard-like documents according to a) to h) are available, appropriate standards or standard like documents shall be chosen in accordance with the followin
27、g order of preference: i) other national civil standards and standard-like documents (e.g. BS); j) National Technical Approvals or Technical Specifications (e.g. DIN-SPEC); k) widely recognized civil technical specifications stemming from industry. If the necessary requirements cannot be met by the
28、application of the aforementioned standards or standard-like documents, appropriate defence standards or standard like documents shall be chosen among others from the following technical reference systems: l) National Defence Materiel Standards (e.g. UK Defence Standards, German VG); m) Mandatory na
29、tional regulations and directives relating to specific equipment (e.g. aircraft or naval ships); n) National Technical Specifications issued by governmental defence procurement authorities; o) Military standards of partner nations, such as MIL Standards (USA); p) Company standards may be chosen, in
30、cases where the requirements cannot be covered by the documents previously mentioned; where the application of company standards is envisaged, the Contractor shall ensure that these standards are made available to the Purchaser together with the related rights of use. Each reference in tendering doc
31、uments shall be followed by the expression “or equivalent“ as stated in Directive 2009/81/EC. EDSTAR shall be considered during the standards selection process as it contains recommended Best Practice Standards for the acquisition of defence materiel. NOTE EDSTAR is the former “European Handbook for
32、 Defence Procurement (EHDP)“. See under: www.eda.europa.eu/EDSTAR 4.4 Contract changes Issues may arise during the execution of a contract which necessitate a change in the list of standards and standard-like documents or make a change appear reasonable; such changes being driven by: a) new experien
33、ce gained during contract execution; b) standards lower in the selection order being referred to in laws, ordinances and statutory provisions; BS EN 16341:2012EN 16341:2012 (E) 7 c) standards lower in the selection order appearing to be more suitable from a technical point of view; d) the applicatio
34、n of standards lower in the selection order being more economical; e) other orders of preference being defined in bilateral or multilateral projects. Where the initiative to change the list of standards and standard-like documents is taken by the Contractor, the Purchasers prior consent shall be obt
35、ained; and the change shall be laid down in a contract amendment. 5 Disclaimer The editor of standards and standard-like documents makes no warranty that the subject of standardization is free of protective right or copyright claims; the standardization does not grant permission to exploit such righ
