S1000D

S1000D is an international specification for the production of technical publications. Although the title emphasizes its use for technical publications, application of the specification to non-technical publications is also possible and can be very beneficial to businesses requiring processes and controls.

This specification was initially developed by the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD). Currently, S1000D is jointly produced by the following organizations, their members, and customers:

• ‍ASD
• Aerospace Industries Association of America (AIA)
• ATA e-Business Program

These organisations form the S1000D Council and the S1000D Steering Committee. These groups are dedicated to establishing mutually agreed standards for the documentation methods used by the participating parties.

As a partner of SDL we can also offer a suite of S1000D software for your business, contact us for more information.
