S1000D is an international specification for the procurement and production of technical publications. While the title restricts its use to technical publications, it has been found through application that the principles of the specification can be applied to non-technical publications.

 

 

This specification was initially developed by the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD). This issue has been jointly produced by ASD, the Aerospace Industries Association of America (AIA), and the Air Transport Association of America (ATA) together with their customers. These form the S1000D Council and the S1000D Steering Committee to establish standards for documentation agreed by the participating parties.

 

 

From Issue 2, the scope has been extended to include land and sea specific applications. The specification can now also be used for the support of any type of equipment including both military and civil products. All items in this specification will be referred to as "the Product".

 

 

Taken for S1000D Issue 4.0.1 Chapter 1
