INDUSTRY STANDARDS
(a) For aerodrome operators or for organisations responsible for the provision of AMS that have demonstrated compliance with the applicable industry standards, the Competent Authority may adapt its oversight programme in order to avoid audit duplication of specific items.
(b) The demonstration of compliance with the applicable industry standards may not be considered in isolation from the other elements to be considered for the Competent Authority’s risk-based oversight.
(c) In order to be able to credit any audits performed as part of the certification process in accordance with the applicable industry standards, the following are considered:
(1) the demonstration of compliance based on certification auditing schemes providing for independent and systematic verification;
(2) the existence of an accreditation scheme and accreditation body for certification in accordance with the applicable industry standards has been verified;
(3) the relevance of the certification audits to the requirements defined in Part-ADR.OR, in Part‑ADR.OPS, or in other regulations as applicable;
(4) the mapping of the scope of such certification audits against the scope of oversight;
(5) the accessibility of the audit results by the Competent Authority; and
(6) the compatibility of the audit planning intervals with the oversight planning cycle.
