3.3 What are the organisations subject to Regulation 376/2014?

Key principle Regulation 376/2014 applies to ‘‘any organisation providing aviation products and/or which employs, contracts or uses the services of persons required to report occurrences in accordance with Article 4(6)’’ (i.e. subject to mandatory reporting obligations) (Article 2(8)). It is therefore understood that organisations which do not, on a professional basis, employ, contract or use the services of a person subject to mandatory reporting obligations (see section 2.2) are not requested to comply with the Regulation.
Example: Organisations created with the aim of promoting aerial sport and leisure aviation, and which does not, on a professional basis, employ, contract or use the services of someone covered by Article 4(6), are understood as not being subject to Regulation 376/2014 and therefore not requested to comply with it.

Furthermore, Regulation 376/2014 contains a number of provisions applicable to ‘‘each organisation established in a Member Stat’’. It means that among the organisations which are subject to the Regulation only those which are ‘‘established in a Member State’’ are subject to those provisions.

Key principle “Organisation established in a Member State” is understood as meaning: each organisation which has been approved or certified by a Member State, and each organisation which has been approved or certified by EASA and whose principal place of business is located in a Member State.

The Regulation is understood as applying to all the facilities of the organisation under its approval, regardless of their location.
