Overview: Under the direction of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee ACE/65 is responsible for the consistency, coherence and co-ordination of inspection and testing documents (technical specifications) for aerospace non-metallic materials. To co-ordinate the UK position on CEN/ASD-STAN technical specifications and establishment of the UK view point on international standardisation where required. To be responsible for the consistency, and co-ordination of test method standards which have an application to non-metallic materials. To brief the UK delegation to the CEN/ASD-STAN Non-metallic materials domain.
