Purpose of MOD standards
Defence standards evolved from the need to ensure proper performance, maintainability and reparability (MRO) of military equipment. Logistical usefulness is considered another important factor. MRO and logistics lead to standardization of equipment and processes.

The specifications cover what different types of equipment should be able to withstand. Also covered is how they should be tested to ensure compliance.
It develops and pursues its standards with civil and military partners and the standards help:
