GM-ELA No 1 to 21.A.139(a) Quality system    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

The focus of the quality system is on the key workflows that are indispensable to ensure conformity to the relevant parameters of the applicable design data. The quality system should include elements to determine that there is conformity to the relevant parameters of the applicable design data and, if applicable, the production process definitions. The quality system should mitigate any repetitive non- conformities found in products or spare parts.

The production organisation should demonstrate that it has established, and will maintain, a quality system via integration or by making use of one of the following, as applicable:

1. a valid ISO 9001 certificate;

2. a valid EN 9100 certificate;

3. compliance with ASTM F2972 for organisations that have only the production of CS-LSA aircraft in their scope of approval; or

4. an individual quality system that meets all the definitions of the full set of AMC-ELA.

It should be ensured that the existing quality system covers all the aspects defined in 21.A.139(a). The quality system should be documented in such a way that the documentation can be made easily available to any personnel who need to use the material to perform their duties.
