(Well, that’s the theory…) • Document reflects current situation • Verification can be undertaken by a Duty Holder or an independent Certification Body • Compliance against applicable requirements (standards) still has to be demonstrated • New document is ‘catching up’ with how the world looks today 18 RIS-2700 Roadshows 2016 12 April 2016 Confidentiality level RIS-2700-RST drafting Overview Document drafting work • Work commenced July 2012 – blank sheet of paper • Early work presented at March 2013 VAB conference and Drafting Review Group April 2013 • RSSB Standards Policy and ATOC input to get the ‘pitch’ right. • Drafting principles: Recognise current legislation – RIR, ROGS, CSM-RA, ECM (etc) Designed for use through a RU / manufacturer / ROSCO (etc) SMS or by a independent third party (eg NoBo / DeBo) Preserve established ‘good practice’ (largely as guidance) Continue to advocate risk-based approach 19 RIS-2700 Roadshows 2016 12 April 2016 Confidentiality level RIS-2700-RST drafting Content 1.
