ATMSCG Guide for the Production of EN/CS for ATM in Support of SES Legislation Version 1.0 (08.02.2006) (DRAFT)
ATMSCG Objectives • To be pro-active in identifying the need for CS/ENs • To ensure an efficient working arrangement • To avoid duplication of work • To build as far as possible on what exists • To support the most appropriate process to: • Avoid development and approval delays • Ensure broadest possible acceptance • To ensure compliance with EC SES Regulation 04/552 for the development of EN/CS for ATM
SES Interoperability Regulation (04/552) Relevant extracts Recital 12 Community specifications should be established by the European standardisation bodiesin conjunction with the European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (Eurocae) and by Eurocontrol, in accordance with general Community standardisation procedures. Article 4 section 1 a) European standards for systems or constituents, together with the relevant procedures, drawn up by the European standardisation bodies in cooperation with Eurocae ……. (b) specifications drawn up by Eurocontrol on matters of operational coordination between air navigation service providers, …
Standards Development Principles When a need is identified for CS/EN’s, three different situations exist: • Already published standards cover the subject • Standardisation activities are ongoing within CEN, ETSI, EUROCAE, EUROCONTROL or another entity • No standardisation activity covering the subject In any of the three cases described above the generic principles of production ENs applied
1) Standards exist • A single standard exists and fully covers the subject • For non ESO specifications use a fast track to make it recognised as a CS/EN. The resulting work load will be the lowest possible and the conversion delay could be reduced while maintaining due process for the final deliverable. • The subject is covered fully through several standards • The appropriate ESO will develop a CS/EN that refers to those existing standards as far as possible without modifying the content of each of them. Although all parties must be involved the work load in this case is limited if the relevant standards to refer to exist and are well identified and supported. • Exceptionally, the appropriate ESO will develop a new CS/EN based on a merger of current standards into one single standard. This requires more work and involvement of all parties but may be needed if no consensus can be reached on the solution mentioned above.
2) Standards are under development One or more bodies have activities running or planned. • ATMSCG should clarify the objectives and scope of the proposed CS/EN • ATMSCG should identify the appropriate ESO to produce the proposed CS/EN • ATMSCG should identify the most suitable way forward, for example: - when there is a single developer involved ATMSCG may recommend to continue the activity; - when there are several developers involved ATMSCG may recommend to set up a joint activity In any case the involved bodies shall be closely associated with the production of a CS/EN. • Overall delivery time will be longer than when standards already exist
3) No standardization work started • ATMSCG should check if the ESO’s, EUROCONTROL or EUROCAE have any plans for activity in the relevant area in support of standardisation. • In case if there is no any plans ATMSCG should seek for the interest among the potential contributors • ATMSCG should agree on the need for a CS/EN and identify its objectives and its scope • ATMSCG should identify the appropriate ESO to produce the proposed CS/EN • ATMSCG should identify the most suitable way forward as described in case 2 (Standards are under development)
