Instructions – Self-Assessment Checklist
1.1
Who fills it in?
The individual(s) within the prospective AEO who are preparing for the authorisation assessment
The individual(s) completing the self-assessment should call on SME support internally to support them
1.2
When is it used?
It is completed after the scoping meeting with the ASA facilitator and as part of evidence gathering in preparation to begin the formal assessment process
It is to be used by the applicant to gauge their organisation's readiness for the full formal assessment as an AEO
1.3
What documents accompany it?
TS 10502 - AEO Authorisation Requirements (which includes guidance on applicant interpretation against mandatory requirements)
TS 10512 - AEO Self-Assessment Tool
Applicant organisations engineering management process documentation
Applicant organisations evidence records of deployment of engineering management processes
1.4
Explanation on completing key fields
a)
Read these instructions and the maturity levels set out in Table 1
b)
Read each requirement carefully, as it reflects the key requirements to become an AEO

c)
Use the completed TS 10510 AEO Engineering Services Scoping Matrix to provide the context for self-assessment
d)
Identify evidence for system documentation and deployment for your engineering management function which supports each requirement and list it in
the "Evidence Available" column
e)
Insert comments supporting the context of your evidence in the "Comments supporting the available evidence:" row for each requirement
f)
For evidence that documented arrangements and processes are in place, enter a maturity rating (0 – 5) in the "Documented System" column. This
number indicates a self-assessment of the organisations confidence level in its own documented processes.
g)
For evidence that the documented arrangements are deployed, enter a maturity rating (0 – 5) in the "Deployed System" column. This number indicates
a self-assessment of the organisations confidence level in the deployment of its own documented processes.
