Standards reference documentation


Explanation:
Le référentiel normatif
Le RNPA
Le RNPA est un recueil de normes et documents normatifs à utiliser de façon préférentielle lors de la rédaction des programmes d’armement ; il n’est pas exhaustif et peut être complété selon le domaine d’activité et les besoins par d’autres documents, prioritairement des normes civiles qu’elles soient nationales, régionales ou internationales.

NORMOTAN (ex AAP-4)
Les normes OTAN sont issues de la base NSDD OTAN complétée par la liste des organismes pilotes, experts et satellites nationaux, il informe également les utilisateurs sur l’état d’avancement de la ratification par la France des STANAG.

Standards reference documentation
The "RNPA"
The RNPA is a summary of standards and normative documents that are to be applied preferably when preparing defence programmes; it is not exhaustive and may be supplemented (as a function of the field of activity and the requirements) by other international, regional or national documents.

NATO reference (ex AAP-4)
NATO reference is derived from NSDD, supplemented with a list of leading organisations, pilots, experts and national satellites; it also provides users with information about progress in ratification by France of STANAGS.

benchmark standard


Explanation:
In addition to "reference base", etc., I find that "référentiel" can be quite suitably translated by "benchmark".

Standard IEC 61508 (Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems) is presumably a safety benchmark in the sector to which the translated text relates.

From http://www.assetintegrity.co.uk/aimweb/images/downloads/iec6...

"IEC 61508 (Ref. 1) provides designers and operators with the first generic internationally
accepted benchmark standard for determining the Safety Integrity Level (SIL), the design
requirements and test intervals for Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF)."

Taken from http://www.sipi61508.com/News Items/news-uk-nov02.htm:

"On day two, Ian Hitchen delivered the keynote presentation from Kemira. This provided an insight into Kemira's safety performance improvement programme and the use of IEC 61508 as a benchmark standard."

Explanation:
That is how it is referred to in Wikipedia and several other sites including IEC. Also, there is no space between the numbers.
