Standards Consultative Committee (SCC)
The SCC brings together CASA staff and representatives from a diverse range of aviation industry groups to work jointly during the development phase of regulatory material. The SCC examines proposed regulatory changes to determine if they are worth pursuing and assists CASA in the allocation of priorities to those projects.
Aviation community experts then work together with CASA staff in subordinate groups (SCC sub-committees, project teams and working groups) on the detailed development of regulatory material (both new regulations and amendments).
SCC and sub-committee members serve without financial compensation. However, CASA does make funding available for the provision of venues for all SCC and sub-committee meetings.
The SCC currently comprises of 39 organisations from a diverse range of industry groups.
There is a combined total of over 200 CASA and industry participants in the SCC and its six sub-committees.
Role of the SCC
The principal tasks of the SCC are to:
- consider regulatory proposals that have been submitted to the SCC by CASA with a view to deciding whether a proposal is worthy of consideration and, if so, recommend a level of priority that should be placed on the regulatory work associated with the proposal.
- through the aviation community members of the SCC, identify individual experts to work with CASA staff on the development of regulatory proposals which are accepted as elements of the aviation safety standards development programme.
CASA consults with the SCC on:
- the development of a regulation, Airworthiness Directive, Civil Aviation Order or standards amendment using this process.
