BUT
1.
The purpose of AAP-15 is twofold:
1.
a.
to give the full form of the abbreviations a.

most commonly found and used in
NATO documents and publications;
b.
to encourage authors to use correct and

standardized abbreviations and full forms b.
when
drafting
documents
or
correspondence.
LAAP-15 poursuit deux objectifs :

prsenter la forme complte des abrviations
les plus frquemment rencontres et utilises

POLICY
POLITIQUE
2.
In accordance with the requirements set
out in the NATO Policy for Standardization of
Terminology (reference A) and in the Directive
on the NATO Terminology Programme
(reference B), NATO documents must use
NATO agreed terminology.
2.

APPROVAL PROCESS
PROCESSUS DAPPROBATION
3.
To achieve the NATO Agreed status,
AAP-15 terminology is:
3.
Pour obtenir le statut Agr OTAN , la
terminologie de lAAP-15 est :
a.
screened by the NATO Standardization a.

Agency Abbreviations Staff Group
(NASG), who decides on revalidation,
change, addition and deletion proposals
on the basis of the principles, rules and
criteria laid down in the Directive and the
Guidance. To achieve this, authoritative
sources (e.g. TAs, experts, authoritative
publications
and
glossaries)
are
consulted for content and equivalence,
where appropriate;

4.

proposals. The publication is subsequently
submitted
to
the
Committee
for
Standardization Representatives for approval
and then promulgated by the Director NSA.
5.

AAP-15(2014)
11. AAP-15 applies a number of commonly
agreed lexicographical and typographical
conventions that are laid down in the
Guidance.
11. LAAP-15 est rgie par un certain nombre de

conventions lexicographiques et typographiques
communment admises, qui sont nonces dans le
Guide.
12. The ordering of the terms in AAP-15

follows
the
lexicographical
convention
exemplified by the Concise Oxford English
Dictionary and Le Petit Robert, as recorded in
the Guidance.
12. La mthode de classement alphabtique des

termes figurant dans lAAP-15 suit les conventions
lexicographiques adoptes par le Petit Robert et le
Concise Oxford English Dictionary, telles que
consignes dans le Guide.
13. This edition of AAP-15 conforms with the

Guidance.
Where
there
are
several
abbreviations for one full form they are given
acceptability ratings (preferred, admitted,
deprecated, obsolete). Sources are indicated
below abbreviations and full forms. When one
abbreviation represents more than one
concept, the separate entries are distinguished
by numbering. For example, there are three
entries for CEP, as follows:
13. La prsente dition de lAAP-15 est

conforme aux prescriptions du Guide. Lorsquil y a
plusieurs abrviations pour une seule forme
complte, on leur attribue une cote dacceptabilit
(privilgi, tolr, dconseill, dsuet). Les
sources sont indiques sous labrviation et la
forme
complte.
Lorsquune
abrviation
reprsente plusieurs concepts, elle fait lobjet
dautant darticles distincts, chacun tant
numrot. Par exemple, il existe trois articles pour
labrviation CEP, savoir :
CEP1
circular error probable
[AAP-06, 2013]
cart circulaire probable /ECP1/
[AAP-06, 2013]
CEP1
[AAP-06, 2013]
cart circulaire probable /ECP1/
[AAP-06, 2013]
CEP2
civil emergency planning
[MC 0336, 1994]
plans civils d'urgence /PCU/
[MC 0336, 1994]
CEP2
[MC 0336, 1994]
[MC 0336, 1994]
CEP3
communications equipment programme
[NASG]
programme d'quipement des
tlcommunications
[NASG]
CEP3
[NASG]
programme d'quipement des tlcommunications
[NASG]
The French abbreviation ECP for cart

circulaire probable is numbered1 to distinguish
it from the other entry for ECP (ECP2 entry
control post). In turn it refers back to CEP1.
Labrviation franaise ECP (cart circulaire

probable) correspondant labrviation anglaise
CEP1 est assortie du chiffre1 afin de la distinguer
dun autre article ECP dont la forme complte est
diffrente (ECP2 - entry control post).
SOURCES
SOURCES
14. A source is indicated directly below each

element of an entry. When the source of the
abbreviation and the term is identical, it is only
given under the term (see examples below).
14. La source est mentionne directement sous

chaque lment de larticle. Lorsquelle sapplique
aussi bien labrviation quau terme, elle nest
indique quune seule fois sous le terme (voir
exemples ci-dessous).
-XVII-
AAP-15(2014)
15. NASG is given as the source when no

official source (e.g. TA, publication, document)
is available. It will be followed by the year to
indicate when the entry was last reviewed by
the NASG.
15. La source NASG est utilise en labsence

de source officielle (par exemple autorit de tutelle,
publication, document). Elle sera suivie de lanne
pour indiquer la date laquelle le NASG aura
examin larticle pour la dernire fois.
16. The year and the edition number, if any,

will also be indicated in the case of a TA,
document or publication used as a source.
When there is a need to modify part of an entry
found in a document or a publication, the
mention [derived from: (source)] will be given.
16. Lanne et le numro ddition, le cas

chant, seront galement indiqus dans le cas
dune autorit de tutelle, dun document ou dune
publication utiliss comme sources. Lorsquil y a lieu
de modifier un lment de larticle extrait dun
document ou dune publication, la mention [driv
de : (source)] sera indique.
