GM1 21L.B.184(a) Oversight programme

ED Decision 2023/013/R

CONTENTS

The oversight programme typically consists of the elements detailed in this GM.

(a) Planned continued surveillance

In the planned continued surveillance, the total surveillance actions are split into several audits that are carried out at planned intervals during the oversight cycle. One aspect may be audited once or several times, depending on its importance. All relevant aspects are audited at least once within an oversight cycle.

(b) Planned critical design reviews, physical inspections and first-article inspections as defined for each new product design.

(c) Unplanned reviews

Unplanned reviews are specific additional investigations of a declared design organisation related to surveillance findings or external needs. EASA is responsible for deciding when a review is necessary, taking into account any changes in the scope of work, changes in personnel, reports on the organisation’s performance submitted by other EASA or competent authorities’ teams, and reports on the in-service products.
