Objective

This procedure provides specific JAA features, in addition to the EASA DOA Procedures established in accordance with the EASA Management Board procedures for certification of organisations, to implement the principles of Cyprus Arrangements, signed by EASA on 25 November 2003.

Principles

The EASA DOA Procedures apply fully, except for the points described below. A certificate issued by a non EU JAA Member in accordance with these procedures will establish demonstration of capability of the design organisation in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1702/2003, article 3.2. EASA will not issue its own certificate. A certificate issued by EASA shall be automatically accepted by the non EU JAA Member as a means to demonstrate the capability of the design organisation in accordance with JAR-21.

Standardisation

Responsible parties must be accredited in accordance with the decision of the EASA Management Board on guidelines for the allocation of certification tasks to NAAs or qualified entities. DOA standardisation obtained under JAA DOA procedures is considered as meeting the criteria for initial accreditation. For the investigations conducted by the non EU JAA Members, the check-points, as defined in the EASA DOA procedures, will be performed by EASA under the control of EASA Design Organisation Manager. This will be done initially for all applications and, when experience is demonstrated, only for a sample of cases determined by the EASA Design Organisation Manager.

Application process

A DOA application from a non EU applicant shall be sent to its National Aviation Authority (NAA). If this Authority is not standardised, it may transmit the application to EASA, which will issue an EASA DOA in accordance with its procedures.

Issue of Certificate

A DOA certificate is issued: - by EASA for applications conducted under EASA responsibility - by the non-EU JAA Member, for non EU JAA country applicants (see template attached).

Publication

The list of DOA issued by EASA and non EU JAA Member will be published on the EASA and JAA website. The EASA will also publish a separate list of EASA DOA.
