145.B.330 Changes – organisations

(a)The competent authority should have adequate control over any changes to the personnel specified in points (a), (b), (c), (ca) and (k) of point 145.A.30. Such changes in personnel will require an amendment to the exposition.

(b)When an organisation submits the name of a new nominee for any of the personnel specified in points (a), (b), (c), (ca) and (k) of point 145.A.30, the competent authority may require the organisation to produce a written résumé of the proposed person’s qualifications. The competent authority should reserve the right to interview the nominee or to call for additional evidence of their suitability before deciding upon them being acceptable.

(c)For changes requiring prior approval, in order to verify the organisation’s compliance with the applicable requirements, the competent authority should conduct an audit of the organisation, limited to the extent of the changes. The competent authority may also request the organisation to provide the risk assessment referred to in AMC2 145.A.85 for review.

(d)If required, the audit may include interviews and inspections carried out at the organisation’s facilities.

(e)The applicable part(s) of EASA Form 6 should be used to document the assessment of any changes to the Part-145 approval.

CHANGE OF THE NAME OF THE ORGANISATION

(a)On receipt of the application and the amendment to the relevant parts of the MOE, the competent authority should reissue the certificate.

(b)A change of only the name does not require the competent authority to audit the organisation unless there is evidence that other aspects of the organisation have changed.

REVIEW OF CHANGES NOT REQUIRING PRIOR APPROVAL The authority should implement a process to review the changes not requiring prior approval. This should include at least, as part of the continuing oversight activities during the oversight cycle: auditing the organisation process for changes not requiring prior approval; selecting a sample of these changes and verifying their compliance with the applicable requirements.
