GM1 ATM/ANS.OR.B.005 Management system

ED Decision 2020/008/R

DEFINITIONS AND CONCEPT OF MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

(a)     ISO 9000 series of standards define a management system as a 'set of interrelated or interacting elements to establish policy and objectives and to achieve those objectives'.

(b)     Another available definition of management system is the following: ‘The structure, processes and resources needed to establish an organisation's policy and objectives and to achieve those objectives.'

(c)      Traditionally, separate management systems were developed to address issues such as safety, quality, environment, health and safety, finance, human resources, information technology and data protection. However, it is foreseen that more and more the services providers will establish integrated management systems following the harmonised set of requirements in this Regulation.

(d)     The Regulation does not require that the different management systems are integrated but it facilitates their integration.
