Division 145.B.310 Initial certification procedureF1

Upon receiving an application from an organisation for the initial issue of a certificate, the CAA must verify the organisation’s compliance with the applicable requirements.

The CAA must convene a meeting with the accountable manager of the applicant at least once during the investigation for initial certification to ensure that that person understands their role and accountability.

The CAA must record all the findings issued, closure actions as well as the recommendations for the issue of the certificate.

The CAA must confirm to the organisation in writing all the findings raised during the verification. For initial certification, all findings must be corrected to the satisfaction of the CAA before the certificate can be issued.

When satisfied that the organisation complies with the applicable requirements, the CAA may:

1. 1.

   issue the certificate in Appendix III (CAA Form 3-145) in accordance with the class and rating system provided for in Appendix II;

2. 2.

   formally approve the MOE.

The certificate reference number must be included on the CAA Form 3-145 certificate.

The certificate must be issued for an unlimited duration. The privileges and the scope of the activities that the organisation is approved to conduct, including any limitations as applicable, must be specified in the terms of approval attached to the certificate.

To enable the organisation to implement changes without prior CAA approval in accordance with point F2145.A.85(c), the CAA must approve the relevant MOE procedure that sets out the scope of such changes and describes how such changes will be managed and notified to the CAA.
