02 – Authority Requirements

Authority Requirements OPS – Structure
Authority and Organisation Requirements 25

Authority Requirements (ARs)
• To “regulate” in the area of Safety Management we need to

“regulate” both authorities and organisations.
• ARs support the European Aviation Safety Programme (EASP)
and SSP/SMS, in particular by focussing on specific ICAO
critical elements of an oversight system:
CE-3: State civil aviation system and safety oversight functions
CE-4: Technical personnel qualification and training
CE-5: Technical guidance, tools and the provision of safety-critical
information
CE-6: Licensing, certification, authorisation and/or approval obligations
CE-7: Surveillance obligations
CE-8: Resolution of safety concerns.

Authority Requirements (ARs)
ARs establish requirements for:
the administration and management system to be

fulfilled by the Agency and Member States for the
implementation and enforcement of Regulation (EC) No
216/2008 and its Implementing Rules.
ARs:
include new provisions addressed to Member States to
ensure proper oversight capabilities.
support the implementation of EASP/SSP without

explicitly regulating SSP (refer to Communication from
the EC, the Council and the EU Parliament Com(2011)
670).

02 –Organisation Requirements

Organisation Requirements & SMS
EASA Organisation Requirements (ORs)

developed for Flight Standards (Aircrew and Air
Operations) mandate the implementation of a
“management system” with specific features.
These requirements (IRs) and related AMCs/GM

set out what is needed in terms of the
organisation’s management system.
These, together with the relevant provisions of

the Basic Regulation (Regulation 216/2008) fully
cover the existing ICAO Annex 1 and Annex 6
SMS Standards.

SAFETY POLICY
The safety policy is the means whereby the

organisation states its intention to maintain and,
where practicable, improve safety levels in all its
activities and to minimise its contribution to the risk
of an aircraft accident as far as is reasonably
practicable.

AMC1-ORO.GEN.200(a)(2)
SAFETY POLICY (endorsed by the accountable manager)
• establish safety objectives and performance standards

• reflect organisational commitments regarding safety and its
proactive and systematic management;
• enforce safety as one primary responsibility of all managers
• to be communicated throughout the organisation
• senior management should continually promote the safety policy to all personnel
and demonstrate their commitment to it
• should include safety reporting principles

• commitment not to blame someone for reporting something which would not have
been detected otherwise.

ORGANISATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

DOCUMENTATION
The information may be contained in any of the organisation manuals
• safety management manual,
• operations manual,
• training manual
• …
These manuals may also be combined, e.g. the SMM can be one
chapter of the operations manual or the operations manual can be
integrated with the SMM.
It is not required to duplicate
information in several manuals,
however the organisation must
be able to demonstrate that all
items are covered

DOCUMENTATION – OPS
Additional requirements are defined in the Subparts:
ORO.MLR – Manuals, Logs and Records
• ORO.MLR.100 Operations manual – General &

related AMCs
• ORO.MLR.101 Operations manual – Structure &

related AMCs

COMPLIANCE MONITORING FUNCTION

Accountable manager to designate a compliance monitoring manager
(CMM)
Functions of the CMM:
• verify that all applicable standards are complied with

• verify that the organisation’s own requirements (policies and
procedures) are complied with
• ensure that a compliance monitoring programme is implemented

and continually reviewed & improved
Organisations may
adopt a different
title for this function

COMPLIANCE MONITORING FUNCTION
Position of the CMM:
• direct access to the accountable manager

• not one of those nominated to be responsible for the operational
areas (referred to in ORO.GEN.210(b))
• access to all parts of the organisation and as necessary, to

contracted organisations
The same person may act as CMM

and SM (under certain conditions)
Non-complex ORG:
AM can be the CMM

COMPLIANCE MONITORING DOCUMENTATION

Integrated with organisation’s management system
documentation, to describe :
the allocation of CM duties and responsibilities (coordination &

auditing)
procedures to monitor regulatory compliance
the compliance monitoring programme,

reflecting No fixed audit planning
schedule of the monitoring programme;
cycles – according to
audit procedures;
reporting procedures;
size of the organisation
follow-up and corrective action procedures; and its complexity –
training on compliance monitoring; dynamic planning
recording system. (performance based)

Compliance Monitoring ./.
Safety Management
Compliance monitoring shall also cover processes for the identification
of aviation safety hazards and management of associated risks.
Are policies and procedures in place and adhered to?

Are hazard identified, risks assessed and managed?
The verification of the effectiveness of the hazard identification

process and mitigation actions is within the remit of the safety
management function (safety manager – SRB – SAG)
How effectively have risks been mitigated ?

Has overall safety performance increased ?
If the same person acts as SM

and CM, he/she cannot audit
any of the SM processes

Additional guidance material
• ESSI – (ECAST – EGAST – EHEST)

see for example: advanced methodology for operational risk
assessment http://easa.europa.eu/essi/documents/Methodology.pdf
• SKYBRARY http://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Main_Page
see for example:
Operators Guide to Human Factors in Aviation (OGHFA)
• ICAO Doc. 9859 “Safety Management Manual”

Edition 3 is about to be released

EASA Organisation Requirements & SMS
KEY POINTS
SMS is addressed as part of “Organisation

Requirements – Management System”
Organisation Requirements
• are compatible with existing management systems
• encourage integrated management
• provide proportionality (complex versus non-complex
organisations)
• provide flexibility (details in AMC)
These Organisation Requirements set the standard for

implementing SMS in the other areas within EASA’s
remit.

What comes next?

Future Rulemaking on SMS
Task MDM.094 Safety Management

“First review of Organisation and Authority Requirements”
consider latest developments:

ICAO Annex 19
new SMM
Safety Management International Collaboration Group (SM-ICG)*
deliverables
provide further guidance material, e.g. :

management systems for small (“non-complex”) organisations
safety risk management
measuring safety performance
* ICG: promotes a common understanding of SMS and SSP principles and requirements,
strives to harmonise SMS efforts, collaborates on common topics of interest, shares
lessons learned, and ensures the progression of a harmonised SMS.
