They are valid. The only difference is that the certificate of recognition on which they appear corresponds to the EASA 148 format, while the basic examinations approved as of 12 June 2024 will appear in an EASA 148a format if they have been carried out in a Part 147 organisation, or in an EASA 148b format (if they have been carried out with the Authority).

The EASA PART-IS Regulation applies to the activities of the aviation sector in the civil field.

To carry out an initial evaluation of your organization, the following document attached as a work plan proposal may be useful.

It is possible to include ISMS requirements in a comprehensive management system comprising information security, aviation security, quality management, etc. In addition, existing ISMS (e.g. ISO/IEC 27001) can be adapted to the needs of Part-IS. From an organizational perspective, different types of risks interact with each other, and the implementation of certain controls (measures) can address more than one type of risk.

Having a single manual will be a matter to evaluate in each organization, according to its characteristics. In regulation, it is explicitly not required.

ISO 2700X certification will be considered to comply with the EASA PART-IS Regulation to a large extent. However, the EASA PART-IS Regulation introduces requirements specific to the aviation security context that are not covered by the ISO 2700X certification framework. Guidance material on ISO 2700X certification has been developed within the EASA PART-IS Working Group for Authorities and may be useful to you.

The supervision of the EASA PART-IS Regulation will be carried out by the Competent Authority that issued the approvals for the different activities of the organization. For those approvals issued by EASA, the inspection of each organization, once the Regulation is in force, will be carried out by the Unit assigned by that organization.
