Background
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to promote more effective DoD use of NGSs and participation in their development.To achieve this purpose, this document
• Describes the different types of NGSs and the organizations that develop them,
• Provides general guidance and practices relative to DoD's involvement in devel- oping or using NGSs,
• Identifies criteria that should be considered regarding requirements and verifica- tion before developing an NGS or replacing an existing military or federal docu- ment with an NGS,
• Clarifies the roles and responsibilities of DoD personnel when participating in
NGS activities, and
• Explains the meaning of DoD adoption of an NGS and its importance.
This document provides guidance to three key stakeholders:
• DoD participants (and their management), so that they may have a more thor- ough understanding of non-Government standards bodies (NGSBs), and their roles and responsibilities as participants in NGSB activities
• NGSBs, so that they might better understand DoD's practices and policies, espe- cially related to the DoD NGS adoption process. NGSBs will gain understanding of the Defense Standardization Program (DSP) and learn how to interface with DoD in the development, adoption, and use of NGSs
• Defense industry and individual firms involved in standards development activi- ties, so that they may consider the DoD market in their application of research
and development (R&D) investment and the development of dual-use products.
