We helped write the standards aviation runs on. Now we help you apply them.
TraCert supports the people who work with technical standards in aerospace, defence and other regulated industries, with expertise, application support and AI-based standards discovery.
A revised standard arrives. Somewhere, an engineer has to work out what changed, which drawings are affected, and what to tell the supplier. Nobody will see that work. But it decides whether the next part is right.
A standard has never made a decision. People do. And as requirements grow more complex, those people need more than access to documents. They need knowledge they can use.
Built for aerospace, defence and other regulated industries · 30+ years in standards
“For more than twenty years I ran a company that made aircraft parts to these standards. Then I spent sixteen years chairing the committee that writes them. I know what a standard asks of the people on the shop floor, because I was one of them.”

Expertise where aviation standards are applied
Aviation runs on thousands of standards and specifications, and they are revised continuously. Behind every revision are people who have to know what changed and act on it. These are the people we work for.
Standards departments
You buy, manage and distribute the standards your company works to, and keep the platform behind them running. We support your users and administrators: first and second level, on site and against agreed response times. A leading European aircraft manufacturer works with us today.
Standards Competence ServicesEngineering and quality
Which drawings, processes and suppliers does a revised standard touch, and what has to change? We help engineers and quality teams get from the change to the decision faster.
How we helpProduct compliance
Which standards apply to this part, and in which revision? Product and regulatory compliance needs that answer before the auditor or the customer asks. STAN-Hub is being built to help find it faster.
STAN-HubProgrammes and supply chains
When several companies build one aircraft, every partner has to work to the same revision of the same standards, and every change has to reach all of them. That is a standards question before it is an IT question.
Talk to us about programmesStandards bodies and publishers
We come from the committees that write aerospace standards and built the online standards store of ASD-STAN. Your standards stay yours: STAN-Hub leaves them with their publishers.
Talk to usWe know aviation standards from both sides
Our experience began in industrial manufacturing, where technical standards decide how components are produced, inspected and delivered.
From there it grew into decades of active work in German and European aerospace standardisation, including many years of leading the committees that write the standards.
From the committee room we moved to the systems that deliver standards into daily work: building the online standards store of ASD-STAN, the European aerospace standards body (stan-shop.org), supporting thousands of users of an enterprise standards platform, and now applying AI to the way standards knowledge is found and understood.
We understand how standards are created because we have helped create them. And we know the challenges of applying them because we have lived them.
To help people spend less time struggling with complexity and more time applying their expertise.
TraCert brings together three things: expertise in standards, hands-on application support, and software built for people who have to get it right.
Expertise in action
Two ways we help: the people who keep your standards platform running, and a faster way to the knowledge a decision needs.
Standards Competence Services
We support the users and administrators of standards-management platforms in demanding industrial environments, among them a leading European aircraft manufacturer.
When a standard changes, our job is to make sure the right people know, understand what it means for them, and can act on it. First-level and second-level support, platform administration, training and the specialist knowledge to answer the question behind the ticket.
Our services combine standards expertise, hands-on application support and dependable day-to-day operations, delivered under a management system built to ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001.
STAN-Hub
STAN-Hub is our AI-based approach to helping professionals find the standards that matter to them, navigate the connections between them, and understand what a change means for their work.
It does not replace the person who decides. It gives that person a faster way to the knowledge the decision needs, and leaves the standards themselves where they belong, with their publishers.
STAN-Hub is in development with first partners. If you want to shape it with us, we would like to hear from you.
Five steps, each one your decision
Five steps from one conversation to support your users can rely on. Each step ends with a decision you make, including the decision to stop.
Discover
You bring the questions your users ask most and the changes that cost them the most time. We map who works with which standards, and where answers take too long today.
Assess
We look at your platform, your support load and your user groups, and propose a support model with a fixed scope and agreed response times that you sign off.
Onboard
Access, tools and escalation paths are set up and knowledge is handed over, so your users know where to turn from day one.
Run
First- and second-level support, platform administration and training, against agreed response times from 1 business hour for critical issues.
Improve
We review tickets, satisfaction and coming changes to your standards with you, and feed what we learn back into training and the platform.
What you can rely on
Three things behind every step.
Know-how from the committee room
Our support fits the rules your teams work to, because it comes from people who helped write them in the German and European aerospace standards committees.
People where your users are
Our application managers work on site with the customer's teams, backed by a service desk with agreed response times and a clear escalation path.
A management system you can audit
ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 certification in progress with MSECB: Stage 1 in October, Stage 2 in November 2026. We hold ourselves to what we ask of you.
The same expertise in other regulated industries
Aviation is where we started and where we work every day. The same questions come up wherever standards decide: which ones apply, what changed, and what it means.
Chemicals and process
Plant, process and material standards that change while the plant keeps running.
Read the use casePharma and medical devices
Harmonised standards behind every technical file, and transition periods to meet when one is revised.
Read the use caseEnergy and utilities
Component and grid standards for assets that run for decades while the standards keep moving.
Read the use caseRail and automotive
Safety and homologation standards across multi-tier supply chains that must work to the same revision.
Read the use caseThe champion is a person
Remember the engineer from the top of this page, the one working out what a revised standard means before anyone else notices? That is who we mean.
Not every outstanding person has an outstanding title. Some of the most valuable work happens quietly: solving the hard problem, sharing what you know, taking responsibility when nobody asked you to.
We believe these people deserve to be seen, encouraged and given room to grow. In our customers' teams first. In our own team. Among the people we build with. And among those nobody has looked at yet.
That belief has a name.
TraCert, where the Champions don't hide™
Let's talk about the standards your people work with.
Whether you need reliable support for an existing standards-management platform, or want to see what AI-based standards discovery could do for your teams: write to us. You will get an answer from a person who has worked with standards, not from a ticket queue.
