This picture shows a possible adaptation of ECM Certification Scheme NSAs assessing the<br />
application for an ECM certificate.<br />
The NSAs have the possibility to undertake on-site audit and inspections (initially planned in<br />
the ECM Certification Scheme prior to the delivery of the ECM certificate) together with their<br />
intended purposes at the early stage of their surveillance activities. In that sense, the NSAs<br />
may deliver ECM certificate to the applicant after the completion of the initial audit<br />
(documentary review) on the maintenance system of the ECM and then, based on safety<br />
risks and their knowledge of the applicant, target their surveillance activities (on-site audit<br />
and inspections) on existing competences related to (selected) processes relevant to the<br />
main procedures of annex III of the ECM Regulation (See 3.2.2.1 of ECM Certification<br />
Scheme), coherence between the inputs and outputs of the selected processes and also on<br />
activities affecting safety.<br />
The NSAs should also observe transparency in their decision-making process by setting out<br />
and publishing their decision-making criteria.<br />
In any case, the NSA may always perform the on-site audits and the inspections required in<br />
the ECM certifcation scheme before granting the certificate. It would then be perfectly<br />
aligned with the certification scheme.<br />
Nevertheless one target of the Network of Cooperation of Certification Bodies is to achieve<br />
a harmonised implementation of the ECM Regulation in the NSAs acting as certification<br />
bodies.<br />
