The history of BNAE
The Bureau de Standardisation de l'Aéronautique et de l'espace (abbreviated "BNAE") is a non-profit organization under the French law of 1901. Founded in 1941 by GIFAS, the DGAC, the DGA, and the CNES, the BNAE acts under delegation from the French Standardization Association (abbreviated Afnor or AFNOR). It participates in the development of European and international technical standards in the aeronautics and space sectors. The BNAE aims to promote and protect French interests in the aeronautics and space sectors at the European and international levels.
