Why a DOA?

WHY a DOA? (2/8)

 To establish a "qualified network"

for the various activities related to the
compliance demonstration with the
requirements applicable to the product
to be certified
 To enable EASA to accept statements
from DOA holders, that the regulations
have been complied with.

WHY a DOA? (3/8) Establish a Qualified network...
A DOA holder has an organisation with:
• Appropriate management,
• Clear allocation of responsibilities,
• Workable Procedures,
• Resources sufficient and qualified,
for the accomplishment of the activities defined in the scope of
DOA
And a DOA holder has a system that:
• Monitors the performance of the organisation
• Ensures that the need for effective corrective action is
identified and secured.

WHY a DOA? (7/8)

The DOA brings the confidence that the design of a

product complies with the applicable requirements
based on:

“Certification of the Organisation”

AND

“Certification of the design of the product”

© AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. Page 11
WHY a DOA? (8/8)

DOA is a tool for

Aviation Authorities

and for

the Industry

to use so that they can deploy their

resources

in the most

effective and economic manner.

WHAT is a DOA? (8/8) Responsibilities

• To maintain the DOM up to date (organisation, procedures, signatories)

• To use DOM as a basic working document
• To determine that design complies with applicable
requirements
• To submit statements of compliance

WHEN a DOA ?

Mandatory for organisations that

have to undertake:

• Type Certification (or restricted)

• Supplemental Type Certification
• Other formal processes to get
approval of design by EASA

- Links with EASA as the Competent Authority

Airbus way of compliance - Manage the DOA as a project

I. List the DOA activities per family

II. Establish a roadmap per DOA
family
III. List the tasks of each DOA roadmap
IV. Sequence the DOA steps
V. Measure maturity of DOA tasks
VI. Verify DOA tasks are effective
VII. Ensure DOA monitoring of
deliverables

 DOA enables the EASA to accept statements of compliance
 DOA is a tool for Aviation Authorities and for the Industry to deploy their
resources in the most effective and economic manner
 DOA is managed at Airbus as a project
