Good to know
Scope: FO.DOA.00081 covers application for initial as well as change to ADOA.
An ADOA approval is the recognition that a Design Organisation complies with certain criteria of Part 21. This is done by implementing procedures setting out the specific design practices, resources and sequence of activities necessary to comply with the various Subparts of Part 21 dealing with design approval processes. This ensures that the Design Organisation has understood the applicable requirements and will perform relevant activities as expected by EASA. Due to its simplified nature, an ADOA does not include privileges. The establishment of these alternative procedures may be seen as a starting phase for a Subpart J DOA, allowing at a later stage, at the discretion of the Design Organisation, to move towards a full Subpart J DOA by the addition of the missing elements.
Fees and Charges: In accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2153, the Agency levies fees and charges for all its certification and approval activities. The applicable table for initial ADOA is 9B. For changes to ADOA, charged by the hour, please refer to Part II.
