  • Defence standards:

    • 00-042 Part 4 Testability: Proposed to reference out to BS EN 60706-5 Testability and Diagnostic Testing, with any objections to this proposal being required by end Mar 18. Recognised the need for additional guidance on defining requirements and verification.

  • R&M and Maintenance have moved from SEE to the Guide to Engineering Activity and Reviews (GEAR), which means the Chief Engineer is now responsible for conducting sign-off.
