Standardisation Inspection Process Overview

Visits to Undertakings Undertakings are visited as samples to evaluate the oversight activities by NSA.

No findings, only Undertaking Non-Compliances (UNCs), can be raised by EASA against undertakings.

UNCs are used to substantiate findings to be resolved by NSA.

NSA is the competent authority.

No de-briefing to undertakings by EASA.

Addressing ADQ

S.1.5.

Regulatory requirement:Reg.(EU) 1035/2011 Annex IV:

Specific requirements for the provision of aeronautical information services 2. WORKING METHODS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES Providers of aeronautical information services shall be able to demonstrate that their

working methods and operating procedures are compliant with the standards in: (a) Commission Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 ( 1 );

To address the above mention requirement EASA has two counterparts:

NSAs

ANSPs (Undertakings)

10/04/23 8

Addressing ADQ

S.1.5.

What we can address at the NSA level :Whether this requirement was checked during “certification or recertification process of ANSP”

Important issue is the applicability of Reg.(EU) 73/2010

2013 20141 July 2013

NSA should verify compliance during certification of new ANSP (AISP)

or recertification of existing ANSP (AISP)

Reg.(EU) 73/2010 applieswith some options for derogation

10/04/23 9

Addressing ADQ

S.1.5.

Or whether it was addressed during the on-going oversight cycle

2013 20141.7.2013

NSA should verify compliance during oversight cycle in case of no need of certification or

recertification of AISP

Reg.(EU) 73/2010 applieswith some options for derogation

Note:

Oversight cycles is define in art.7§3(d) of Reg. (EU) 1034/2011“ensure that sufficient audits are conducted over a period of 2 years to check the compliance of all these organisations with applicable safety regulatory requirements in all the relevant areas of the functional system”Important all depends on NSA planning of two years period, when it starts and when AIS part is addressed.

10/04/23 10

Addressing ADQ

S.1.5.

What we can address at ANSP level :WORKING METHODS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES

We will sample and check whether working methods and operating procedures are addressing the applicable requirements stemming from Reg.(EU) 73/2010 for AISP

E.g. Art.7§2Aeronautical information service providers shall ensure that aeronautical data and

aeronautical information items published in the AIP of their Member State are annotated to indicate those that do not meet the data quality requirements laid down in this Regulation.

If not “UNC” will be raised and the CA/NSA will have to solve it
