1 EASA survey to RMT.0251 Phase II SMS for EASA Part-21 design organisations, EASA Part-21 production organisations and EASA Part-145 maintenance organisations Fields marked with * are mandatory. 1. Introduction In the context of the preparation of the Regulatory Impact Assessment for RMT.0251 Embodiment of safety management system (SMS) requirements into Commission Regulations (EU) 1321/2014 and 748/2012 "Phase II SMS for EASA Part-21 design organisations, EASA Part-21 production organisations and EASA Part-145 maintenance organisations", EASA is launching a survey to the competent authorities and industry. The survey is aimed at supporting the determination of SMS applicability and identifying where proportionality is needed, as well as at collecting data on potential impacts, difficulties and opportunities in SMS implementation. The collected data will help the Agency to take an informed and evidence-based decision on regulating SMS requirements for EASA Part-21 design organisations, EASA Part-21 production organisations and EASA Part-145 maintenance organisations. When developing SMS requirements for EASA Part-21 design organisations, production organisations and EASA Part-145 maintenance organisations, EASA will consider the management system requirements for Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) as defined in the EASA Opinion 06/2016 Embodiment of safety management system (SMS) requirements into Commission Regulation (EU) 1321/2014 SMS in Part-M.[1] These build upon the EASA management system framework for safety management defined for the other domains (Air Operations, Aircrew, Aerodrome operators, etc.). The EASA management system framework (IRs and related AMCs) addresses all elements of the ICAO SMS framework defined in Appendix 2 to Annex 19 and promotes an integrated approach to the management of an organisation. It encourages organisations to embed safety management and risk-based decisionmaking into all of their activities, instead of superimposing another system onto their existing management system and governance structure. The core part of the EASA management system framework focuses on the following elements: clearly defined responsibilities and accountabilities for the activities that are subject to the relevant EASA rules; a safety policy and related safety objectives; implementation of safety reporting procedures in line with just culture principles; 1

2 identification of aviation safety hazards, ensuring their assessment, and the management of associated risks; including:(1) taking actions to mitigate the risks that are not acceptable after risk assessment;(2) verifying the effectiveness of actions taken to mitigate risks; a function to monitor compliance and provide feedback on findings to the accountable manager; maintaining personnel trained, competent, and informed about significant safety issues; and documentation of all management system key processes. In the EASA management system framework non- essential implementation aspects are proposed to be included at the AMC level to provide flexibility. When reference is made to SMS in this survey this may mean either the EASA management system framework or the ICAO Annex 19 Appendix 2 SMS framework (or any equivalent framework). [1] 20te.pdf 2. Confidentiality Please note that the collected data will be treated with confidentiality. It will be aggregated in a report (at Member State level and/or per type of stakeholder) to avoid the possibility to recognise any entity or person who answered to the survey. Any information that will be used for the purpose of the report will be de-identified to ensure the confidentiality of the respondents. 3. Next steps The results of the surveys will be aggregated and used for the preparation of the Regulatory Impact Assessment which will accompany the NPA for the RMT.0251 SMS Phase II. 4. Deadlines for submitting responses to the survey Responses can be submitted by 15 February Any response submitted after the closure date of the survey will not be considered. Please note that responding to this survey should not take you longer than 20 minutes. 5. Instructions for organisations holding multiple approvals For organisations holding multiple approvals the Agency would welcome a consolidated response, representing all those approvals. Should this not be considered adequate, individual responses corresponding to each approval held can be provided, by means of separate submissions. Should this option be used, organisations are invited to use the first question below (Part 1, question 1) to identify the approval corresponding to each submission. 2
