13. Verification of compliance at CA / UT
Verification of Authority activities
Undertakings are visited as samples to evaluate CA’s oversight.
No findings, can be raised by EASA against undertakings, but all the undertakings’ non-compliances (UNC) detected shall be recorded and monitored by EASA.
They can either:
provide supporting evidence and/or be the consequence of a non- compliance of the CA (Type 1)
not be directly correlated to a deficiency by the CA (Type 2)
UT 1 C A
UT 2
UT 3
Dealing with UNCs:
UNCs (type 1) provide supporting evidence and/or are the consequence of a non-compliance of the CA with the applicable requirements.
Managed by EASA and closed based on evidence submitted by CA.
UNCs (type 2) cannot be directly correlated to a deficiency at the CA level, as it does not provide any evidence of a failure in the way the CA has discharged its oversight responsibilities.
Directly managed by the CA in its capacity as CA, reporting the results to the Agency

As soon as corrections and corrective actions of class D findings are received, they should be immediately analysed by the STL in charge and presented to the Section manager (or coordinator on his behalf) for final agreement / acceptance, which is to be tracked by means of a sign-off list. The STL in charge should do his utmost to reduce the agreement time as much as possible.
It is then important that the STL communicates to the Competent Authority the EASA agreement on corrections and corrective actions for class D findings in the shortest possible timeframe after they are processed. This shall be done by with a status report extracted from the database as attachment.
