SAE standards

SAE standards are developed for fields relating to transport like automotive, aerospace and commercial vehicles.

SAE standards were developed for professionals in the engineering fields relating to transport like automotive, aerospace, and commercial vehicles. Established as the Society of Automotive Engineers, it was started as a professional association and organization for developing standards.

SAE International was formed in the early 1900s when automobile manufacturers in the US were many and all desired to solve technical problems while developing engineering standards and exchanging ideas. Today in North America, SAE is used as a measuring system for automotive and construction tools, and specifically in the United States it is known for its automobile ratings on horsepower.

What started out as an organization to create standards became more of an information-sharing organization after WWII and today has cooperative agreements with many other engineering organizations throughout the world. In the 1980s SAE began electronic publishing of interactive CD-ROM and other web-based products and downloadable technical papers and standards that today allow users worldwide instant access.

Today, SAE International is made up of scientists, engineers, and others interested in self-propelled vehicles. Together they create more aerospace and ground vehicle standards than any other organization.
