GM1 Article 14 Application for a certificate ED Decision 2022/022/R GENERAL (a) The provision of U-space services and single CIS is subject to certification by the relevant competent authority. (b) The competent authority may be: (1) the national competent authority of the Member States where the USSPs and, when designated, the single CIS providers have their principal place of business; (2) the Agency for USSPs and single CIS providers from third countries; (3) the Agency, at the request of the USSPs or the single CIS providers that provide services in more than one Member State, following a coordination process described in Article 64 (at the request of the organisation) or Article 65 (at the request of the national competent authority) of [Regulation (EU) 2018/1139](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32018R1139&qid=1708530582668). (c) The certification scheme aims to preserve public interest, most notably in terms of safety. The certificate confirms that the single CIS provider or the USSP meets the requirements of [Regulation (EU) 2021/664](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021R0664&qid=1708523662564) as regards the provision of specific U-space services in the U-space airspace, commensurate with the risk associated with the U-space services they provide. The certificate specifies the rights and obligations of the single CIS provider or the USSP, with particular regard to safety. (d) Annexes [VI](#_DxCrossRefBm1226740189) and [VII](#_DxCrossRefBm1226740188) to [Regulation (EU) 2021/664](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021R0664&qid=1708523662564) establish the certificate form templates for the USSP and the single CIS provider respectively. By introducing this single certificate concept, all the privileges of a USSP are to be mentioned in the attachment to the certificate specifying the type of U-space services, and the respective conditions and associated limitations. For the CIS provider, the certificate form does not include an attachment specifying the type of U-space services, conditions and limitations of the certificate because the CIS provider should always provide the required CIS in the U-space airspace for which the CIS provider has been designated.
