I. Regulations and Exemptions

Q13. If an organization is the holder of more that one certificate, is the SMS for the whole organization (all certificates) under control of the Person Responsible for Maintenance?

The intent of CAR 705.154 is to establish that, in a multi-certificate environment, the safety management system requirements applicable to any maintenance activity shall be under the control of the Person Responsible for Maintenance (PRM). This includes maintenance activity controlled by CAR 573 and CAR 706. The control of the PRM over SMS does not extend to flight operations, as that portion remains under control of the operations manager.
