The rules engineering work is checked against.
ETES standards are versioned, owned and enforceable — not a folder of documents nobody maintains. Every standard here has an explicit status and a place in the categories below.
One registry, organized by discipline.
Rather than a flat document list, standards are grouped by the kind of engineering work they govern — from foundational rules through to how operations are run day to day.
Foundation
The baseline rules ETES itself is built on, and the registry that tracks them.

Engineering
Shared practices for how engineering work gets planned and carried out.

Where to start.
These four standards cover the most common questions teams ask when adopting ETES.
ETES Constitution
FrozenThe foundational rules every other ETES standard operates under. Frozen by design.
v1.0Engineering Playbook
OfficialDay-to-day engineering practices: how work is planned, built, reviewed and shipped.
v1.0Architecture Decision Record Standard
OfficialHow architectural decisions are written down, with context and trade-offs intact.
v1.0Testing Standard
OfficialThe shared bar for what counts as adequately tested before release.
v1.0Browse standards in depth.
Explore standards by category, with a detail page for each one covering its scope, qualification framework and how it relates to other standards.
Welding & Qualification Standards
Standards governing how welding procedures and welders are qualified, from different standards bodies.
- ASME Section IXASME BPVC IX
- AWS D1.1AWS D1.1
- ISO 9606-1ISO 9606-1
Every standard has an owner and a status.
Standards move through explicit states — drafted, made official, and in some cases frozen once they underpin everything else, like the ETES Constitution. Changes to any standard follow the Change Management Standard, the same process used for every other controlled change in ETES.
