ED Decision 2017/001/R

SAFETY SUPPORT ASSESSMENTS BY PROVIDERS THAT ARE ALSO ATS PROVIDERS

(a)     Only air traffic services providers can perform a safety assessment. Service providers other than air traffic services providers can only perform a safety support assessment to determine that the new or changed service behaves only as specified in a specified context.

(b)     A safety support assessment should be carried out for changes that cross the organisation’s boundary.

(c)      An air traffic services provider may choose not to perform a safety support assessment of changes to its functional system when the changes do not cross the organisation’s boundary. In this specific case, the safety assessment of changes to the functional system should be performed.
