ED Decision 2023/013/R
CERTIFYING STAFF
(a) Certifying staff should be nominated by the declared production organisation to ensure that each of the products and/or parts that are produced within the organisation’s scope of work, qualifies for a statement of conformity or a release certificate. The position and number of certifying staff should be appropriate to the complexity of the product and the production rate.
(b) The qualifications of certifying staff should be based on their knowledge, background and experience and on specific training (or testing) that is established by the organisation appropriate to the product or part to be released.
(c) Training should be given to develop a satisfactory level of knowledge of product/part specifications, the organisation’s procedures, the management system for production (including compliance monitoring), aviation legislation, and the associated regulations, AMC and GM that are relevant to their particular role. Training should include on-the-job training, as relevant.
(d) For that purpose, in addition to the general training policy, the organisation should define its own standards for training, including pre-qualification standards, for personnel to be identified as certifying staff.
(e) The training policy is part of the quality system.
(f) The training should be updated in response to experience gained and changes in technology.
(g) A feedback system to ascertain that the required standards are being maintained should be put in place to ensure the continuing compliance of personnel with authorisation requirements.
(h) For the release of products or parts, the responsibilities to issue statements of conformity or authorised release certificates (EASA Form 1) are allocated to the certifying staff that is identified in point 21L.A.125(d)(2).
AMC1 21L.A.125(d)(1) details certifying staff nomination, qualification basis, training content, and feedback systems for declared production organisations under EASA regulations.
