{{Short description|NATO technical standard (STANAG)}} {{About|the list of NATO agreements|the specific agreement regarding gun magazines|STANAG magazine}} In [[NATO]], a '''standardization agreement''' ('''STANAG''', [[redundant acronym|redundantly]]: '''STANAG agreement''') defines processes, procedures, terms, and conditions for common [[military]] or technical procedures or equipment between the member countries of the alliance. Each NATO state ratifies a STANAG and implements it within its own military. The purpose is to provide common operational and administrative procedures and [[logistics]], so one member nation's military may use the stores and support of another member's military. STANAGs also form the basis for technical interoperability between a wide variety of communication and information systems (CIS) essential for NATO and Allied operations.<ref>Royal Air Force Common Core and Deployment Skills Aide-Memoire AP 3242B VOL 5, ABBREVIATIONS</ref> The Allied Data Publication 34 (ADatP-34) [[NATO Interoperability Standards and Profiles]] which is covered by STANAG 5524, maintains a catalogue of relevant [[Information and communications technology|information and communication technology]] standards. STANAGs are published in [[English language|English]] and [[French language|French]], the two official [[language]]s of NATO, by the [[NATO Standardization Office]] in [[Brussels]]. Among the hundreds of standardization agreements (the total {{as of|2007|April| lc=y }} was just short of 1,300) are those for [[caliber|calibre]]s of small arms [[ammunition]], map markings, communications procedures, and classification of bridges.
