ED Decision 2024/001/R

Conformity assessment of ATM/ANS equipment

2nd set of acceptable means of compliance and guidance material supporting the new regulatory framework on the conformity assessment of ATM/ANS systems and ATM/ANS constituents

Acceptable means of compliance and guidance material as regards organisations involved in the design or production of ATM/ANS systems and ATM/ANS constituents

Conformity assessment of ATM/ANS equipment

These Decisions establish the acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material (GM) associated with the applicable requirements on the approval of organisations involved in the design or production (hereafter ‘DPOs’) of air traffic management/air navigation services systems and air traffic management/air navigation services constituents (hereafter ‘ATM/ANS equipment’). These AMC & GM also complement the 1st set of AMC & GM established with ED Decision 2023/016/R for the application of the conformity assessment framework for ATM/ANS equipment.

Due to the novelty of the subject, it is important to provide the necessary means for demonstration of compliance by the DPOs and for the application of the above-mentioned framework.

This regulatory material is expected to further facilitate the effective modernisation of the European air traffic management network (EATMN), ensuring more streamlined conformity assessment mechanisms and increased harmonisation and interoperability of ATM/ANS equipment brought to the EU market.
