The requirements defined in the series of European space standards are applicable to all actors working on space projects but are intended to be viewed from the perspective of a specific project context, and tailored to match the genuine requirements of the project. The project is determined, amongst other things, by its environment, technology maturity, product class, cost and risk constraints, organisational complexity, and the procurement approach adopted for a given acquisition. The tailoring process is carried out by the relevant customer at each level in the hierarchy, in a systematic manner within the rules and constraints of the customer organisation, and with due consideration of the engineering, quality and management aspects of the project. 

BS EN 14724 defines the objectives, principles, methods, and processes of tailoring that are to be considered when establishing the project requirements documents. 

BS EN 14724 guidelines helps to facilitate the application of a coherent approach to the tailoring of European space standards, their traceability, and subsequent implementation for a specific project.
