Contained in the article is a characteristics of activities conducted in the field of standardization related to state defence and security for the development of military standards from the area of water supply for forces in field conditions on the level of European defence standardization. Thus, a type of summary has been made of this not so popular case, when – for the very first time in the history of Polish military standardization – national defence standards have become standards with European range. What has been pointed out in the summary is the importance and the need to promote – in a similar way – the achievements of military standardization in other areas of social and economic life, especially in the field of state defence and security, as well as anywhere where we have potential and considerable achievements on a global scale. Such actions – except for a considerable contribution to perfecting a positive image of Poland in international relations – may be one of the ways to gain a more effective access to information and markets, education and development.
