After a merger of AECMA with two other associations to form ASD in 2004, the specification changed its name to become ASD Simplified Technical English, Specification ASD-STE100. The result of this collaborative work was a guide, known as the AECMA Simplified English Guide.
The AIA (Aerospace Industries Association of America) was also invited to participate in this development. In 1983, after an investigation into the different types of controlled languages that existed in other industries, the AECMA decided to produce its own controlled English. This led the European Airline industry to approach AECMA (European Association of Aerospace Industries) to ask manufacturers to investigate the possibility of using a controlled form of English. There were also European airlines that had to translate parts of their maintenance documentation into other languages for their local mechanics. In 1979 aerospace documentation was written in American English ( Boeing, Douglas, Lockheed, etc.), in British English ( Hawker Siddeley, British Aircraft Corporation, etc.) and by companies whose native language was not English ( Fokker, Aeritalia, Aerospatiale, and some of the companies that formed Airbus at the time). First attempts towards a form of controlled English were made as early as the 1930s and 1970s with Basic English and Caterpillar Fundamental English.
