ATSEP.OR.100 GM1 Scope

It is acknowledged that ‘power supply’ and ‘air conditioning’ systems and equipment can be critical
elements of the aviation safety chain and that personnel should be competent in those areas.
Personnel that maintain these systems should not be considered as ATSEP. In general, ATSEP do
not work on these systems, but rather control and manage the release of power supply and air
conditioning systems, to and from operational service.
ATSEP.OR.105 Training and competence assessment programme
In accordance with point ATM/ANS.OR.B.005(a)(6), the service provider employing ATSEP shall
establish a training and competence assessment programme to cover the duties and responsibilities
to be performed by ATSEP.

those ATSEP have received the applicable training and competences foreseen in this Subpart.
