GM Guidance material

## GM1 Article 5(2) Competent authority

The applicability of Annex I (Part-IS.AR) to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/203 to competent authorities is specified in its Article 4(2) and called for under the authority requirements for a management system in the implementing or delegated act for each domain. Therefore, the Part-IS.AR requirements apply to the competent authority under Article 5(1) irrespective of the allocation of roles and responsibilities to an independent and autonomous entity designated by the State under Article 5(2).

At the same time, this independent and autonomous entity designated by the State is not subject to the Part-IS.AR requirements; this entity has only to fulfil the responsibilities for certifying and overseeing organisations’ compliance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/203.

This entity typically holds the role of a national [information security](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/information-security) body within the Member State and is normally subject to similar requirements to those existing in Part-IS.AR.
