ED Decision 2025/007/R
(a) Organisations are expected to embed safety management and risk‑based decision‑making into all their activities, instead of superimposing another system onto their existing management system and governance structure. In addition, if the organisation holds multiple organisation certificates that are issued under Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, it may choose to implement a single management system to cover all of its activities. An integrated management system may be used not only to capture multiple management system requirements resulting from Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, but also to cover for other regulatory provisions requiring compliance with ICAO Annex 19 or for other business management systems, such as security, occupational health and environmental management systems. Integration will remove duplication and exploit synergies by managing safety risks across multiple activities. Organisations may determine the best way to structure their management systems to suit their business and organisational needs.
(b) Aerodrome operators providing GH services and aircraft operators performing self‑handling are not expected to duplicate their existing management systems to comply with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/20.
(c) The organisations mentioned in point (b) are instead expected to revise their existing management system to cover the new elements required by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/20, in particular:
(1) the organisation’s safety policy and safety risk management process;
(2) its compliance monitoring function;
(3) the duties and responsibilities of its GH personnel;
(4) interfaces with the other activities performed by the organisation;
(5) the training programme of the personnel performing GH activities;
(6) GH processes and procedures;
(7) documents and records;
(8) the policy regarding the management of change;
(9) the maintenance programme for GSE.
Guidance on integrated management systems for ground handling: embed safety, avoid duplication, and revise existing systems to meet EU 2025/20 requirements.
