Hi All,
Here is my understanding of the DOA, please correct me if i'm wrong and add your info!
I think it would be nice to have a EASA section just as the FAA has one...
For a new company wishing to obtain a DOA & TC
Example of differences between the DOA and AS/EN 9100
DOA Design Organisation Approval
AS/EN 9100
The process of obtaining the DOA should be started prior to the process of obtaining a Type Certificate with the Agency. Since the DOA is used to obtain a TC, a TC procedure should be started soon after with the Agency.
A full fledged DOA cannot be obtained from the Agency prior to obtaining a Type Certificate from the Agency.
Why?
Because some of the procedures required for the DOA cannot be audited by the Agency prior to obtaining a TC, these procedures include:
But a restricted DOA can be issued by the Agency and updated at each audit prior to obtaining a full fledged DOA.

DOA Design Organisation Approval
- The DOA is a "must have"
- The DOA does not deal with customer or production issues but mainly design issues in order to obtain a safe product.
- Addresses the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements
AS/EN 9100
- AS/EN 9100 is a "nice to have"
- AS/EN 9100 deals with customer, design, production and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements (but does not address them in detail )
The process of obtaining the DOA should be started prior to the process of obtaining a Type Certificate with the Agency. Since the DOA is used to obtain a TC, a TC procedure should be started soon after with the Agency.
A full fledged DOA cannot be obtained from the Agency prior to obtaining a Type Certificate from the Agency.
Why?
Because some of the procedures required for the DOA cannot be audited by the Agency prior to obtaining a TC, these procedures include:
- Procedure for the Classification of Major/ Minor Change
- Procedure for the Approval of Major Change by the Agency
- Procedure for the Approval of Minor under the DOA
- …
But a restricted DOA can be issued by the Agency and updated at each audit prior to obtaining a full fledged DOA.
