equipment
Regulation (EU) 2023/1769
(a) Upon receiving an application for the issue of an approval to an organisation involved in the design or production of ATM/ANS equipment, the Agency shall verify the organisation’s compliance with the requirements laid down in Annexes II and III of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1768 and in Annex II to this Regulation.
(b) The Agency may request any audits, inspections or assessments it finds necessary before issuing the approval with all the relevant information set out in Appendix 1 to this Annex.
(c) The approval shall be issued for an unlimited duration. The privileges as regards the activities the organisation is approved to conduct shall be specified in the conditions attached to the approval.
(1) With regard to an organisation involved in the design of ATM/ANS equipment, the conditions shall specify the type of design work and the categories of ATM/ANS equipment for which the organisation holds an approval, and the privileges the organisation is approved to exercise.
(2) With regard to an organisation involved in the production of ATM/ANS equipment, the conditions shall specify the scope of work and the ATM/ANS equipment or the equipment categories, or both, for which the approval holder is entitled to exercise the privileges.
(d) The approval shall not be issued where a level 1 finding referred to in DPO.AR.C.015 remains open. In exceptional circumstances, finding(s) other than level 1 shall be assessed and mitigated as necessary by the organisation and a corrective action plan for closing the finding(s) shall be approved by the Agency prior to the issue of the approval.
(e) Each change to the approval and to its conditions shall be approved by the Agency.
EASA regulations outline the approval process for organizations designing or producing air traffic management (ATM) and air navigation services (ANS) equipment. The agency verifies compliance, conducts audits, and issues approvals of unlimited duration specifying permitted activities. Approvals are withheld for critical non-compliance issues, requiring corrective action plans. Changes to approvals also require agency approval.
