The Group of National Directors for Quality Assurance
(AC/250), which was created in 1964, is subordinate to
the Conference of National Armaments Directors (CNAD).
In 1996 the North Atlantic Council agreed the enhancement
of the Partnership for Peace initiative by opening selected
CNAD groups to Partners as 'CNAD Partnership Groups'.
AC/250 was one of these groups.
The mission of AC/250/CPG is to provide
counsel to the Conference of National Armament Directors
(the CNAD) and leadership to NATO member Nations, Agencies
and Commands in their pursuit of harmonization, implementation
and advancement of quality principles and practices within
the Alliance. In pursuit of these objectives, the group
defines NATO policy and develops standards for an integrated
systems approach to quality and for reliability and maintainability.
