Background
Amendment 101 to ICAO Annex 8 (adopted 4 March 2009)
CHAPTER 5. SAFETY MANAGEMENT
5.1 States shall establish a State safety programme in order to achieve an acceptable level of safety in civil aviation.
Note.— A framework for the implementation and maintenance of a State safety programme is contained in the Attachment to this
Part and guidance on a State safety programme is contained in the Safety Management Manual (SMM) (Doc 9859).
5.2 The acceptable level of safety to be achieved shall be established by the State.
Note.— Guidance on acceptable levels of safety is contained in the Safety Management Manual (SMM) (Doc 9859).
5.3 From 14 November 2013, a State of Design or Manufacture shall require, as part of its State safety programme, that an
organization responsible for the type design or manufacture of aircraft implement a safety management system
acceptable to the State that, as a minimum:
a) identifies safety hazards;
b) ensures the implementation of remedial action necessary to maintain agreed safety performance;
c) provides for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the safety performance; and
d) aims at a continuous improvement of the overall performance of the safety management system.
Note.— Guidance on defining safety performance is contained in the Safety Management Manual (SMM) (Doc 9859).
5.4 From 14 November 2013, a safety management system shall clearly define lines of safety accountability
throughout the organization responsible for the type design or manufacture of aircraft, including a direct accountability for
safety on the part of senior management.

Background
Amendment 101 to ICAO Annex 8 (adopted 4 March 2009)
 Introduced State Safety Program for State of Design or Manufacture
of Aircraft
 Introduced Safety Management System for Design or Manufacture of
Aircraft
 Applicability date November 2013
 Intent is to “harmonize” Annex 8 safety management requirements
with the other Annexes
 Annex 8 (Amendment 101) did not include SMS Framework
4
International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations
Background
 ICAO SMS Framework language in existing Annexes is
Airline/Airport Operations-centric, not directly applicable to Design
and Manufacturing
 Safety Management Manual SMM (Doc 9859 Second Edition)
guidance is Airline/Airport Operations-centric, not directly
applicable to Design and Manufacturing

● International Collaboration Group (ICG)
● ICAO Secretariat
– ICCAIA SMS Working Group Activities
● Develop recommendations for Annex 8 SMS Framework appropriate to
Design and Manufacturers
● Provide recommendations to support adoption into Annex 8
by November 2013
 ICCAIA Letter ICCAIA/AC/049 submitted to ICAO May 2, 2011
● Develop recommendations for SMM guidance appropriate to Design and
Manufacturers

ICCAIA SMS Working Group Recommendations
 ICCAIA SMS Annex 8 Framework recommendation is based on
existing Annex 6 SMS Framework
 ICCAIA recommendation identified where existing guidance
material is either inappropriate or needs clarification for use by
the Design and Manufacturing sector
 ICCAIA recommended that guidance material specific to the
Design and Manufacturing sector be developed and made
available to the States and the Design and Manufacturing sector
 ICCAIA offered to assist ICAO in developing appropriate guidance
material for the Design and Manufacturing sector

ICCAIA SMS Working Group Areas of Importance
1. SMS compliance for Design and Manufacturing should be limited
to the State of Design or Manufacture
2. SMS standards should be harmonized globally, allowing for
mutual recognition
3. SMS for Design and Manufacturing should be directed at hazards
that can foreseeably cause or contribute to an aircraft accident
4. SMS standards should not restrict the approach used to satisfy
SMS standards from more than one Annex, i.e. an organization
can choose to have a single SMS that covers multiple Annexes
or individual SMSs to handle each Annex

International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations
ICCAIA SMS Working Group Areas of Importance,
continued
5.
SMS standards should allow for the use of existing processes
that meet the intent of the standard
6.
SMS standards should allow a flexible approach to satisfy the
intent, e.g. the standards should not dictate organizational
structure of the “key safety personnel”
7.
SMS standards for emergency response planning for Design
and Manufacturing should extend only to those activities of an
organization where the organization is functioning as an
operator and there is safety risk exposure associated with that
operation of the aircraft
