Standardisation overview
Where Community law in the field of aviation safety is implemented at Member State level, EASA assists the European Commission in overseeing its effective application and uniform understanding.
Standardisation is the Agency's process of monitoring how the national aviation authorities (NAA's) apply EU Regulations in their countries and in the fields under their competence.
In doing so, the Agency works to the Not less, Not more principle:
- Not less than required by Community law
to establish and maintain a high uniform level of civil aviation safety in Europe, and to protect EU citizens - Not more than required by Community law
to ensure a level playing field for fair competition within the European aviation industry
