- Content
- It applies to reports of Surface Vehicles and Machinery Technical Committees only. Aerospace technical reports are covered by editorial practices of the Aerospace Council. Close adherence to this recommended practice by technical committees of SAE will help to assure uniform technical reports. Should questions on format, style, or other matters pertaining to the organization and editorial practices of technical reports be raised within technical committees of the Technical Board, they should be referred to the Chairman of the Publications Advisory Committee for interpretation or for discussion by the full Publications Advisory Committee.
- Content
- The rationale which accompanies a technical report when being sent to upper committees for approval may be included as an Appendix or may be the subject of a separate SAE Information Report. The rationale will provide an expanded explanation of the purpose and scope of the technical report; an explanation of the reasons for decisions, conclusions, and recommendations; and a report on actual tests made which support conclusions and recommendations or which provide the basis for performance criteria.
