Asgardian Standards are:

• written down in separate documents,
• by a Standard Establishment Committee,
• approved by a Confirmation Committee via a Confirmation Statement.

An Asgardian Standard is either a Recommendatory Asgardian Standard or a Mandatory Asgardian Standard. Asgardian Standards are created or modified in the context of the AIS. The Asgardia Standards Act is the legal basis under AIS and ACQia (see “About”) and as a result, Asgardian Mandatory Standards are compulsory.

For Asgardian Standards the following applies:

Asgardia Standards may be written specifically for Asgardia, but they can also refer to existing terrestrial standards. In the latter case, reference to international and widely accepted standards is preferred.

The AIS is led by a Management Team which does the daily operations of the AIS, makes decisions when appropriate and maintains all AIS documentation, including the Asgardian Standards.

The procedures on creating and modifying Asgardian Standards and on modifying the AIS itself, including its procedures, are specified in the menu “Procedures”. The AIS does the administration of the Asgardian Standards and maintains its own work program and documentation set. The procedure for modifying the AIS itself is very similar to that of modifying an Asgardian Standard.

Auditing of an entity (like a component, product, services or organization) against an Asgardian Standard is done by an independent organization, ACQia, the Institute of Asgardia for the Assurance of Compliance and Quality. They will check the compliancy to Mandatory and Recommendatory Asgardian Standards and analyse and (when appropriate) check alternative compliancy, and after that they will formally either accept or reject the compliancy.

The finances of AIS and ACQia are managed by the ACQia Treasurer. The AIS and ACQia are financed in two ways:

• receiving part of the audit fees obtained by the ACQia
• requesting fees for assistance provided

The AIS is a purely online organization, it does not have a physical office.
