online - 19 - 20 February 2025

The objective of this workshop is to give an overview of the framework that has been adopted in the EU to demonstrate compliance with a common set of specifications for the ATM ground equipment that will be place in the EU market and will be used in the provisions of ATM/ANS in the EU States. In particular this overview will provide a good understanding of:

  • the benefits that are expected to achieve and the rationale behind the selected approach;
  • the main regulatory changes introduced by the framework, in particular:
    • roles and responsibilities of the main actors involved, namely: ATM/ANS service providers, National Competent Authorities (NCAs), Design and Production Organisations (DPOs) and EASA.
    • certification and declaration processes applicable to certain ATM/ANS ground equipment, including the 3 methods of attestation (certification, declaration and compliance)
    • approval (certification) of certain design or production organisations (DPOs);
    • key associated regulatory concepts: detailed specifications (DS), acceptable means of compliance (AMC), guidance material (GM), certification basis (CB), etc.
