Evolving ICAO policy on formulation of SARPs:Evolving ICAO policy on formulation of SARPs: Assembly Resolution A36-13 (2007)Assembly Resolution A36-13 (2007)

“ SARPs and PANS shall be drafted in clear, simple and concise language. SARPs shall consist of broad, mature and stable provisions specifying functional and performance requirements that provide for the requisite levels of safety, efficiency and interoperability. Supporting technical specifications, when developed by ICAO, shall be placed in separate documents to the extent possible;”

“ In the development of SARPs, procedures and guidance material, ICAO should utilize, to the maximum extent appropriate and subject to the adequacy of a verification and validation process, the work of other recognized standards-making organizations. Material developed by these other standards-making organizations may be deemed appropriate by the Council as meeting ICAO requirements; in this case such material should be referenced in ICAO documentation;”
