NASA OCE Endorsed Standards

This list of OCE "Endorsed Engineering Standards" is authorized by the Office of the NASA Chief Engineer based on recommendations from engineering discipline subject matter experts from across the NASA technical community. OCE Endorsed Technical Standards are proven engineering standards identified and approved by OCE for use as a “pick list” in developing technical requirements for NASA programs and projects. This “pick list” helps to ensure that proven best practices have not been overlooked in the initial selection of requirements for design, development, and operations. It includes approved NASA Engineering Standards developed under sponsorship of the OCE, plus those engineering standards developed by voluntary consensus standards (non-government) bodies and other government standards-developing organizations.

Technical Category

Each OCE Endorsed Standard is assigned a Technical Category. Please use this filter and Apply to select a category of interest.
