The CAA is considering conducting the necessary regulatory changes to adopt the new SARPS of Annex 6 in UK Regulation (EU) No. 965/2012 (The Air Operations Regulation). These regulatory changes are an essential part of the UK CAA’s mitigation strategy and risk level reduction when addressing the highest risks in its Regulatory Safety Management System (RSMS), for uncontrolled lithium battery fire in the cargo compartment of an aircraft inbound to / outbound from the UK.
Through this regulatory action, the UK CAA will be able to drive the reduction of the risk level and provide mechanisms for mitigation of these two risks in its RSMS, by establishing the framework for operators to:
- adequately mitigate risks introduced by unknown entities in the supply chain,
- adequately mitigate the consequences of a potential fire hazard due to the presence of incorrectly identified and classified items which are offered for transport.
The purpose of this consultation is to gain feedback from industry and the wider public on the proposed amendments. This consultation document relates to UK Regulation (EU) No. 965/2012 (The Air Operations Regulation)
As part of the proposed regulatory change, amendments will be made to the Implementing Rules in an area related to the Operator’s Responsibilities and the development of AMC and GM necessary to support the implementation of these changes to the regulatory requirements.
