ATM/ANS equipment that supports air-to-ground communications delivers direct instructions to aircraft and should be subject to certification too.
6
The Communication, Surveillance, and Navigation services are used directly by the ATS to ensure safe navigation of aircraft, but the three services referred to do not have a complete view of traffic and do not play an active control over aircraft separation. Consequently, they play a less critical role. The ATM/ANS systems and ATM/ANS
constituents that support them should be subject to a less stringent attestation method, namely declaration of design compliance.
7
Lastly, other less critical ATM/ANS systems and equipment that support meteorological services, aeronautical information services, airspace management services and air traffic flow management services should be subject to the least stringent attestation method, namely statement of compliance.
8
Additional criteria are possible to decide on criticality of ATM/ANS systems and ATM/ANS constituents in addition to the managerial control over safety risks of the services and functions that they support.
9
Therefore, three different levels of requirements and detailed specifications should be established, namely: i certification by the Agency, the most stringent level; ii declaration by an approved organisation involved in the design or production of ATM/ANS equipment, the medium level; and iii statement of compliance by the ATM/ANS provider that integrates the ATM/ANS equipment into its functional system, as defined in Commission Implementing Regulation EU 2017/373 2, or, upon ATM/ANS providers request, by an approved organisation involved in the design or production of ATM/ANS equipment.

In accordance with Article 292, point a, of Regulation EU 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council 3, the European Union Agency for the Space Programme EUSPA has been entrusted with managing the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service EGNOS, including the exploitation of EGNOS that covers, amongst other actions, support to certification and standardisation efforts.
11
Under Regulation EU 2021/696 both EUSPA and the European Space Agency ESA are responsible for the design of the EGNOS system and its equipment. The Agency should oversee the declarations of design compliance of the equipment of EGNOS in accordance with specific arrangements to be concluded with EUSPA. Those arrangements are to address technical, administrative, and financial aspects such as a requirement to consult EUSPA as regards the development of detailed specifications; the oversight by EASA of the declarations of design compliance of the EGNOS system; and the exchange of data between both agencies regarding the relevant International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices SARPS compliance. Those arrangements are to ensure a level of safety and interoperability equivalent to the requirements of this Regulation.
