(Interoperability regulation).

Who we are:

Team Leader: Dr. Klaus-Dieter Ehrhardt

What we do :

The STF will produce the following deliverable, for TB approval:

DTR/ERM-TG25-037  (TR 102 579) (TB approved draft, to be processed by ETSI Edithelp before publication)
Title: “Report providing guidance for the production of European Community Specifications for application under the Single European Sky Interoperability Regulation EC 552/2004”
with focus on ETSI deliverables but also suitable for Community Specifications produced by other bodies.

Scope:

• Outline the framework for the content of a Community Specification 
• Identify how to provide reference(s) to other appropriate technical material 
• Identify how to demonstrate compliance to the essential requirements and the relevant implementing rules for interoperability

Read our Terms of Reference

Why we do it:

The European Union launched the Legislation “Single European Sky” (SES) in 2004.

The SES legislation is based on a framework, which contains a number of regulations including “the interoperability Regulation”. (EC 552/2004)

The objective of this Regulation is to ensure interoperability of the European air traffic management network (EATMN) consistent with air navigation services. Under this regulation the use of a Community Specification is a means of compliance to the essential requirements of the Regulation and relevant implementing rules for interoperability.

ETSI expects to be the lead ESO for Community Specifications subject to communications, navigation, surveillance and meteorology, where we have a long established competence.

There is a need for an ETSI “Report providing guidance for the production of European Community Specifications” to make it easier and more cost effective for standardisation bodies to draft clauses in the ENs and provide traceability to the Essential Requirements of the Interoperability Regulation.

First application of the guidance given in the report will be for the production of the Community Specifications tasked in the European Commission`s mandate M390.
