ISO 21384 Drone Standards Certification Support

ISO 21384

Drone Standards Certification Support

ISO 21384 Drone Standards certification support helps organisations demonstrate that their unmanned aircraft systems, components, and operational procedures are aligned with recognised international requirements for safety, quality, and control.

The ISO 21384 series applies to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and supports organisations involved in drone design, manufacturing, component supply, commercial drone operations, and related technical services.

ISO 21384 Drone Standards

Strengthen UAS Safety and Control

The ISO 21384 series supports organisations involved in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), including drone manufacturers, component suppliers, commercial drone operators, and organisations delivering drone-related technical services.

ISO lists ISO 21384-2:2021 for UAS components and ISO 21384-3:2023 for operational procedures. The applicable part of the standard depends on the services, components, or operations being assessed.

ISO 21384-2:2021 focuses on UAS components and is relevant for organisations involved in drone design, manufacturing, supply, payload integration, remote pilot stations, datalinks, and support equipment.

ISO 21384-3:2023 focuses on operational procedures for commercial drone operations, including inspections, surveying, mapping, agriculture, infrastructure work, security operations, and monitoring services.

ISO identifies that ISO 21384-3:2023 is expected to be replaced by ISO/PRF 21384-3, which is currently under development. Organisations should therefore confirm the currently applicable edition before formal assessment or certification activities.

Our ISO experts evaluate your drone-related processes, documentation, operational controls, and technical systems according to the applicable ISO 21384 requirements to ensure your operations are practical, auditable, assessment-ready, and aligned with stakeholder expectations.

Benefits of ISO 21384

Drone Standards Certification Support

ISO 21384 certification and conformance support helps organisations demonstrate stronger control over UAS components and commercial drone operations. It supports safer operations, stronger technical consistency, and improved confidence across the drone value chain.

Stronger UAS safety controls

Improved drone operational consistency

Better component and process traceability

Increased confidence for clients and regulators

Stronger support for commercial drone operations

Improved readiness for assessment or certification

ISO 21384 Certification Support Procedure - GTICS

Our ISO experts can guide your organisation through the preparation process for ISO 21384 certification or conformance assessment activities relating to UAS components and operational procedures.

This optional assessment evaluates your existing drone-related processes, operational controls, and documentation against the applicable ISO 21384 requirements and identifies areas requiring improvement before assessment or certification.

The assessment reviews whether your UAS component controls or operational procedures align with the applicable ISO 21384 requirements. This may include reviewing design controls, operational procedures, flight planning, maintenance controls, remote pilot competence, communication protocols, incident reporting, and technical records.

If your organisation successfully meets the applicable ISO 21384 requirements, certification or formal conformance recognition may be issued depending on the applicable assessment framework and certification body requirements.

Ongoing monitoring or surveillance activities help ensure that your drone-related systems and operational controls remain effective, compliant, and continually improved over time.

Periodic reassessment activities may be required to confirm continued compliance with the applicable ISO 21384 requirements and the effectiveness of your UAS controls and operational procedures.
