STANAG 1414
STANAG 1414 standardized fuels and lubricants for new equipment
Suppliers designing or manufacturing new military equipment for the Czech Ministry of Defence that will run on fuels or lubricants, and the procurement staff who specify it.
STANAG 1414 is NATO's agreement on designing contractor-supplied equipment to run on standardized fuels and lubricants. NATO has not released it publicly; this page describes it from the Czech defence standard that implements it.

NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.
What it is
STANAG 1414 is NATO's Standardization Agreement setting guidelines to ensure that contractors design and supply new equipment capable of using standardized fuels, lubricants and associated products. Edition 4, promulgated on 6 June 2024 under NATO's LC, OEC and NFLWG committees, covers the publication AFLP-1414 edition A.
NATO has not released STANAG 1414 publicly. This page describes it from a public national implementation, the Czech defence standard ČOS 051638 (2nd edition, amendment 3, effective 29 October 2024), which states that it introduces STANAG 1414 edition 4 into Czech use. A national implementation can add national requirements and procedures, so treat what follows as the Czech implementation's content, not as NATO's own text.
What the Czech implementation requires of contractor-supplied equipment
ČOS 051638 sets out national requirements for choosing the fuels, lubricants and associated products (PHM) used in procured military equipment. The equipment's design and construction must, as far as possible, allow the use of standardized PHM types, and these requirements form part of the tender documentation and the technical conditions for production and supply. They apply to all new procurement projects, including ones that take account of NATO's Single Fuel Policy F-34/F-35, but not to lifetime fills that a supplier delivers as part of a spare component and never checks, tops up or replaces during maintenance.
When preparing a tender, a supplier must first draw on the PHM types already standardized within the Czech Ministry of Defence department, each covered by a national quality specification giving its name, NATO code where one applies, purpose, toxicity and storage data, and test methods, before reaching for a type standardized only across NATO armed forces and listed in AFLP 1135. Prescribing a NATO-standardized type outside Czech national documentation, or a non-standardized type at all, requires the tender to include a technical justification, a full description of the type, and the quality standard, such as EN, ISO, DIN, ASTM, MIL, DefStan or another STANAG, that defines its parameters.
At delivery, equipment must generally be physically filled with the prescribed standardized PHM, checked by the Czech inspection authority ÚřOSK SOJ or a test commission. A contract may permit temporary new-production fills at some points, for example for running-in, provided they are replaced with the prescribed PHM without flushing, and without affecting warranty or service life, by the first scheduled replacement. Where a supplier proposes a type the Czech department has not yet standardized, it must cooperate with the department to reach qualification, supplying a safety data sheet, a declaration of conformity and the relevant quality standard by contract signature, and samples for qualification testing at the start of the equipment's testing and introduction stage. These are the Czech department's own procurement and inspection procedures for enforcing the requirement; a supplier working to a different nation's implementation of STANAG 1414 should expect different national machinery around the same underlying obligation.
How we help
A supplier bound by STANAG 1414 through a contract holds the obtained text through its national authority. In ComplyTrain you record the requirements that apply to you as your own requirements, give each an owner, and keep the evidence that shows you meet them against each one.

Three partners, three Member States, one evidence base
The EDF consortium rule is usually quoted as three entities from three Member States. It has a second limb about control that the word independent quietly hides, and two exceptions that disapply it entirely.
