What are the three conditions that must be met for an occurrence to be notified to EASA under GM3 21.B.15(b)?

The three conditions are: (a) the occurrence is defined as a reportable occurrence in accordance with the applicable regulation; (b) the organisation responsible for addressing the occurrence is certified by EASA; and (c) the competent authority of the Member State concludes that the EASA-certified organisation was not informed of the occurrence, or the occurrence was not properly addressed or was left unattended by that organisation.

Does GM3 21.B.15(b) require that the organisation responsible for addressing the occurrence be certified by EASA?

Yes, condition (b) states that the organisation responsible for addressing the occurrence must be certified by EASA.

What additional information should be included when reporting occurrence data to EASA?

The report should provide all relevant information for assessment and analysis, including necessary additional files in the form of attachments.

Under GM3 21.B.15(b), is it sufficient that an occurrence is reportable under applicable regulation for it to be notified to EASA?

No, it is not sufficient. The occurrence must also meet the other two conditions: the organisation responsible for addressing the occurrence must be certified by EASA, and the competent authority of the Member State must conclude that the EASA-certified organisation was not informed or did not properly address the occurrence.

If an EASA-certified organisation was informed of an occurrence but did not properly address it, should the occurrence be notified to EASA?

Yes, because condition (c)(2) states that the occurrence should be notified if the competent authority concludes that the occurrence was not properly addressed or was left unattended by the EASA-certified organisation.
