3.13 What is the requirement related to risk classification?
| Key principle Organisations are required to provide a risk classification for each reportable occurrence (Article 7(1) and Annex I.1.). |
|---|
Risk classification is one of the common mandatory data fields and should therefore be completed for each reportable occurrence. It is expected that, where analysis and follow up is needed, such risk assessment may be preliminary, based on information available at the time of the initial report.
| Key principle Organisations have the possibility to use the risk methodology of their choice. |
|---|
As from the adoption of the European Risk Classification Scheme (no later than May 2017), competent authorities will be required to use it to review and classify the risk of occurrences they collect (Article 7(2)). It shall be noticed that several industry organisations, across aviation domains, participate in the development of the European Risk Classification scheme. The use of this scheme by industry organisations would support a better harmonisation of risk classification across the EU. It should therefore be encouraged.
