145.B.300 Oversight principles
Regulation
(EU) 2023/203
(a) The competent authority shall verify:
(1) compliance with the requirements that are
applicable to organisations, prior to issuing an organisation certificate;
(2) continued compliance with the applicable requirements of the organisations it has certified;
(3) the implementation of appropriate safety measures mandated by the competent authority in accordance with points 145.B.135(c) and (d).
(b) This verification shall:
(1) be supported by documentation specifically intended to provide personnel responsible for oversight with guidance to perform their functions;
(2) provide the organisations concerned with the results of oversight activities;
(3) be based on assessments, audits and inspections and, if needed, unannounced inspections;
(4) provide the competent authority with the evidence needed in case further action is required, including the measures provided for in point 145.B.350.
(c) The competent authority shall establish the scope of the oversight set out in points (a) and (b) taking into account the results of past oversight activities and the safety priorities.
(d) If the facilities of an organisation are located in more than one State, the competent authority, as defined in point 145.1, may agree to have the oversight tasks performed by the competent authority(ies) of the Member State(s) where the facilities are located, or by the Agency for facilities that are located outside a territory for which Member States are responsible under the Chicago Convention. Any organisation that is subject to such an agreement shall be informed of its existence and of its scope.
(e) For any oversight activities that are performed at facilities located in a Member State other than where the organisation has its principal place of business, the competent authority, as defined in point 145.1, shall inform the competent authority of that Member State before performing any on-site audit or inspection of the facilities.
(f) The competent authority shall collect and process any information deemed necessary for performing oversight activities.
(g) With regard to the certification and oversight of the
organisation’s compliance with point 145.A.200A, in addition to complying with points (a) to (f), the
competent authority shall review any approval granted under point
IS.I.OR.200(e) of this Regulation or point IS.D.OR.200(e) of Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2022/1645 following the applicable oversight audit cycle and
whenever changes are implemented in the scope of work of the organisation.
