Some examples include equipment and procedures for air-to-air refuelling common sizes, safety rules and tests to make ammunition interchangeable specifications to make national communications systems compatible and formats to facilitate sharing intelligence and other information. NATO Allies have agreed hundreds of STANAGs over the years, covering a huge range of technical specifications for equipment and common practices.A Standardization Agreement (STANAG) is a NATO standardization document that specifies the agreement of member countries to implement a standard.This is called interoperability, which is the ultimate goal of standardization. In practical terms, standards enable people from a wide variety of countries and backgrounds to have compatible equipment, to understand each other’s methods and procedures, and to operate smoothly even if they have just started working together.NATO defines a standard as a “document, established by consensus and approved by a recognised body, that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context.”.
