The MOD 00-56 Core authoring team would like to invite system safety specialists and relevant Industry organisations to review a draft version Def Stan 00-56 Issue 5 parts 1 and 2. Def Stan 00-56 review packs can only be obtained from the MOD editor. Each review pack is intended for the designated reviewer only, but a Company/Organisation can nominate a co-ordinating reviewer. The cut off date for comments is the 22nd February 2013, but early returns would be appreciated.



Def Stan 00-56 is the UK Defence Standard giving Safety Management Requirements for Defence Systems. The current version was published by the Ministry of Defence in 2007. It is being updated to take into account recent developments in procurement and safety management practice.



Update 4 Mar 13: Def Stan 00-56 Issue 5 Part 1 is now closed for public comments. The final version is expected to be released shortly as an Interim Defence Standard on the DStan website. It is expected that there will be another round of comments before Issue 5 Part 2 is published.
