OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Design, certify and operate
The entry into service of a new aircraft is not limited to the demonstration of its technical performance.
It involves meeting high requirements in terms of safety, regulatory compliance and operational readiness.
Whether it is civil, defense or dual-use programs, Bureau Veritas supports manufacturers, operators and authorities at every stage of the life cycle of their projects in order to secure their development, certification and operation.
Certification and airworthiness: Type Certification, Certification Basis, Means of Compliance, Certification Plans, DVRs, equipment qualification and compliance demonstration
Organizational approvals and maturity: DOA, POA, MOA, Part 21, EN9100, certification readiness and performance improvement
Regulatory engagement: EASA, ICAO, JARUS and national aviation authorities
Operational safety and risk management: SORA, LUC, OSOs, Safety Assessments, ConOps and SMS
Entry Into Service and operational readiness: procedures, governance, training and operational assurance
Airspace integration: U-space, ATM and integration into existing airspace environments
Authority capability building : regulatory frameworks, oversight preparedness and competency development
Defense and Dual-Use Systems
In a context marked by the acceleration of defense programs and the development of dual-use technologies, organizations must balance innovation, sovereignty, security and compliance. Bureau Veritas supports players in the defence sector to ensure the robustness, qualification and compliance of their systems and organisations.
