GM1 ATM/ANS.OR.C.005(a)(1) Safety support assessment and assurance of changes to the functional system

ED Decision 2017/001/R

GENERAL

(a)     The safety support assessment should be conducted by the service provider itself. It may also be carried out by another organisation, on its behalf, provided that the responsibility for the safety support assessment remains with the service provider.

(b)     A safety support assessment needs to be performed when a change affects a part of the functional system managed by a service provider other than an air traffic services provider and it is being used in the provision of its services. The safety support assessment or the way it is conducted does not depend on whether the change is a result of a business decision or a decision to improve the service performance.
