STANAG 6023
Defence training providers and contractors whose tasking or contract invokes ATrainP-1
STANAG 6023 is NATO's agreement for participating nations to ratify and implement ATrainP-1, Edition D, the Allied publication on training and education for peace support operations.
STANAG 6023 is a NATO Standardization Agreement, not a training curriculum in its own right. It is the mechanism by which participating nations commit to implement ATrainP-1, Edition D, the Allied publication that actually carries the training and education standard for peace support operations. Anyone looking for what the training itself covers needs ATrainP-1; this cover does not describe it.
The STANAG states its aim as responding to interoperability requirements: a common training standard and "a common knowledge about tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) particularly required for peace operations and not being basic soldier tasks", a common base for combined operations, and reduced friction and duplicated effort among NATO nations and operational partners in peace support operations.
"Participating nations agree to implement the following standard": ATrainP-1, Edition D. Nations examine their own ratification of the STANAG and advise NATO's Standardization Office (NSO) of their implementation intentions, providing their actual implementation details. Those national decisions and responses are recorded in the NATO Standardization Document Database (NSDD). Partner nations sit outside this ratification process and are invited separately to adopt the standard.
Once a nation has ratified, it implements ATrainP-1 "in accordance with their ratification responses" and is invited to report its effective implementation of the STANAG in the format set out in AAP-03. Partner nations report their adoption the same way. There is no accredited body, notified body or customer audit named anywhere in this cover: what exists is a reporting chain running from nations to the NSO, and a periodic review of the STANAG itself at least once every five years, with proposed changes routed through a standardization proposal to the tasking authority.
This edition (Edition 5, 14 March 2019) supersedes Edition 4. Alongside ATrainP-1, the cover lists STANAG 2606 (which covers ATP-3.2.1.1, guidance for tactical stability activities and tasks), STANAG 2181 (which covers AJP-3.4.1, Allied joint doctrine for the military contribution to peace support), and STANAG 2611 (which covers AJP-3.4.4, Allied joint doctrine for counter-insurgency). None of these are requirements this STANAG imposes; they are named as related reading. AAP-03 supplies the format nations use for the implementation and adoption reporting described above.
STANAG 6023 is nations' agreement to implement ATrainP-1, not a specification a training provider builds a system against. Where it reaches a contractor is in evidencing that the training actually delivered, and the records kept of who received it, line up with whatever training and education requirement a tasking or contract invokes, typically ATrainP-1 itself or the related doctrine this cover lists alongside it.
ComplyTrain holds that kind of evidence trail: the procedures describing how training against a required syllabus is delivered, the training records for who completed it and when, and the audit trail an inspecting body or customer would ask to see. It does not decide whether ATrainP-1 applies to a given contract, does not deliver the training itself, and does not report a nation's ratification or implementation status to the NSO.
The applicable tier, and which standards come with it, is set by the contract and the customer's quality clause, not by us. Use the standards explorer to see what sits alongside ATrainP-1, and talk to us about what your training-record evidence needs to look like.

Thank you. Your list is on its way to your inbox, and we will come back to you on what working with these standards in ComplyTrain involves, usually within one business day.
It has no general answer. A STANAG binds a nation once that nation has ratified it, and a supplier meets it only where a contract or tasking invokes the standard it covers, ATrainP-1. Whether it applies to a given piece of work is set by the contract, not by the STANAG existing.
STANAG 6023 is the agreement: nations' commitment to implement a standard. ATrainP-1 is the standard itself, the Allied publication that carries the actual training and education content for peace support operations. The STANAG cover describes no training content of its own.
No. The cover names no certification scheme, accredited body or notified body. What it describes is nations reporting their implementation or adoption to NATO's Standardization Office, and a periodic review of the STANAG, not a certification an organisation can hold.
Edition 5, dated 14 March 2019, supersedes Edition 4. The STANAG is reviewed at least once every five years, and any nation or NATO body may propose a change at any time for the next review.
One system for the whole compliance programme. Start with the module you need most.
Collect information the same way every time, and decide in advance what happens next.
Know whether your controls are operating, not just whether a policy says they exist.
Turn the compliance work you already know about into a plan with owners, dependencies and dates.
Know what you can offer, and hold the evidence behind every configuration you offer it in.
Eight built-in reports across every module, scheduled, delivered, and filed where the evidence lives.

AI reads the tender pack and pulls out the requirements, deadlines and rules - then helps you draft the response from your own approved content, with you reviewing every step.
One current register of the suppliers and partners you depend on - each risk-assessed, re-assessing itself on schedule, and wired straight into your risk register.
See every requirement you face - across every standard, plus your own contracts and policies - traced to the documents, evidence and processes that satisfy it.
Identify, score, treat and review your risks in one place - with AI to help anyone run a proper assessment, and a defensible trail behind every decision.
Assign training, prove it was understood, and hold the competence records an auditor asks for.
Draft compliance documents with AI, keep every version under control, and export them beautifully branded - all in one place.
Audits, corrective actions, processes and approvals in one quality system, organised around ISO 9001.
Medical device manufacturers operate under more regulatory pressure than almost any other sector outside pharmaceuticals. The rules govern how you design a device, how you make it, how you track it after it ships, and how you respond when something goes wrong.
