Automotive adhesive standards from SAE International (SAE) focus on the test methods, guidelines, and specifications for adhesive and sealant materials that are used in the manufacture of ground vehicles and related components. These standards were developed by several technical committees, including the Automotive Adhesive and Sealants Committee (.doc download).
Aerospace adhesive standards are applicable to the use of adhesive and sealant materials in aerospace vehicles. These standards address the preparation of sealant material specifications and aerospace recommended practices for sealing processes and related activities. For example: the sealing of integral fuel tanks. SAE International (SAE) has several technical committees (.doc download) that contribute to the development of aerospace adhesive standards.
As the voice of the U.S. standards and conformity assessment system, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) empowers its members and constituents to strengthen the U.S. marketplace position in the global economy while helping to assure the safety and health of consumers and the protection of the environment.
