ED Decision 2023/014/R
ISSUE OF THE CERTIFICATE
(a) The competent authority should base its decision to issue a DOA on the recommendation in the DOA investigation report submitted by the DOA team leader. The report includes a proposal by the DOA team for the certificate and terms of approval that define the products, technical scope and privileges for which the approval is to be granted, with appropriate limitations.
(b) When the competent authority issues the approval, a final controlled copy of an acceptable handbook for the organisation should be supplied to the competent authority. Alternatively, when no physical handbook exists, the organisation should provide access to equivalent data.
(c) In some cases, it may be acceptable for some actions to not be fully closed because work is still in progress. The competent authority may decide according to the following principles:
(1) Actions may not represent a non-compliance with the rule. Such non-compliances should be findings and need to be resolved before the approval can be issued.
(2) Actions still to be taken by the organisation which do not prevent the design organisation from working properly in the period when the action is open, can remain open at the time of the approval when an action plan, including timescales, is found to be acceptable.
(3) Recommendations only need acknowledgement of receipt by the organisation at the time of the approval.
