Production Organisation Approval

Objectives

The constantly increasing complexity of aircraft induces the need for the certification authority to adapt its airworthiness monitoring methods. Although it is still possible to carry out systematic checks on each and every airworthy product, airworthiness monitoring is actually oriented towards a concept based on the supervision of the organisation which designed, manufactured and/or maintained the airworthy products. Approval of the product-organisation pair is becoming a reference for carrying out efficient monitoring. Approval is therefore based on an organisation which demonstrates that it knows the applicable regulations, that has full control over the quality of its manufacturing processes and that it implements the airworthiness followup of its products. Quality control is an essential component of the airworthiness process and of the design and operation of an aircraft. The concepts of quality are therefore defined in specific statutory requirements within the European regulations.
