Quality Assurance – ICAO
perspective
• QA requirements for Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) –
Amendment 29 to Annex 15, applicable 6 Nov 1997 and
Amendment 30, applicable 2 Nov 2000
• QA in the provision of AIS – a standard; conformity with ISO 9000 –
recommendation
• AIS information is often bundled with MET information – similar QA
requirements introduced for the provision of MET services with
Amendment 72 to Annex 3, applicable 1 Nov 2001
• QA in the provision of MET - a recommendation; conformity with ISO
9000 – recommendation
