Quality Assurance – ICAO perspective
. QA requirements for Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) – Amendment 29 to Annex 15, applicable 6 Nov 1997 andAmendment 30, applicable 2 Nov 2000
. QA in the provision of AIS – a standard; conformity with ISO 9000 – recommendation
. AIS information is often bundled with MET information – similar QArequirements introduced for the provision of MET services withAmendment 72 to Annex 3, applicable 1 Nov 2001
. QA in the provision of MET -a recommendation; conformity with ISO 9000 – recommendation
Quality Assurance – ICAO
perspective . MET Divisional Meeting 2002 – training – Recommendation Discussions on QA under Agenda Item 4 – Institutional changes and trends in the provision of meteorological services to international air navigation . Changing institutional environment – liberalization or decentralization of the provision of MET services . Distinction between MET authority and MET service provider . The use of ISO 9000 – concerns . Certification of the aviation services only . Cost-benefit issues . Need for specific 4/3 – Guidance material on quality management systems to be developed by ICAO and WMO – Current status of the Manual on the QMS – final draft reviewed by ICAO and WMO; publication is pending coordination with ISO
ICAO Framework on QA in MET
. ICAO Annex 3
