Standards Consultative Committee (SCC)

The SCC is a joint industry-CASA forum that brings together representatives from a diverse range of aviation industry and other groups, to make recommendations to CASA on the development of regulations, standards and other associated advisory material.

The SCC is primarily an advisory body. It provides opportunity for industry members to make recommendations to CASA on regulatory policy and standards development issues, procedures and processes for assessment and consideration by CASA senior management.

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 comprises approximately 40 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:

To make recommendations to CASA on the development of regulations, standards and associated advisory material.
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, or Civil Aviation Order, or the amendment of a standard, using this process.
