CEN/TC 377 - Project Committee - Air Traffic Management
Standardization in the field of Air Traffic Management (ATM) interoperability. The objective of CEN/TC 377 is to prepare European Standards on subjects relating to the European Air Traffic Management Network. The TC will have a special focus on European Standards under mandates given by the European Commission to the ESOs in support of the Single European Sky (SES) framework, and in particular in accordance with Article 4 (1) of the Interoperability Regulation ((EC) 552/2004) concerning Community Specifications. It will cooperate with the European Organisation of Civil Aviation Equipment (Eurocae), EUROCONTROL, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and ensure appropriate liaison with ETSI on telecommunication-related subjects and with other stakeholders as appropriate.

Currently, there are 5 published standards from this technical committee.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
This document provides guidance based on EN ISO/IEC 27002:2017 applied to organisations supporting civil aviation, with a focus on air traffic management operations.
This includes, but is not limited to, airspace users, airports and air navigation service providers.
Not included are activities of the organisations that do not have any impact on the security of civil aviation operations like for example airport retail and service business and corporate real estate management.
The basis of all guidance in this document is trust and cooperation between the parties involved in Air Traffic Management.

This Technical Specification specifies the technical, operational and maintenance requirements for Software Assurance Levels to support the demonstration of compliance with some elements of the Essential Requirements Safety and Principles governing the construction of systems of the Regulation (EC 552/2004) of the European Parliament and of the Council on the interoperability of the European Air Traffic network (the Interoperability regulation).
This Technical Specification on Software Assurance Levels (SWAL) is intended to apply to software that is part of the EATMN, focusing only on its ground segment and providing a reference against which stakeholders can assess their own practices for software specification, design, development, operation, maintenance, evolution and decommissioning.
Requirements in the present document which refer to should statements or recommendations in the normatively referenced material are to be interpreted as fully normative (shall) for the purpose of compliance with the present document.

This Technical Specification is for the production of conformity evidence for FDP-FDP ground-based system interoperability which has to be declared by the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) before putting FDP-systems into service.
This Technical Specification defines the Technical, Operational and Maintenance requirements for Flight Data Processing (ATC-ATC) system interoperability.
Flight Data Processing (FDP) interoperability between ATC units is a key element to facilitate and harmonise Flight Data systems data exchanges and critical to the functioning of a harmonised European Air Traffic Management system.
FDP Interoperability can be achieved by the use of different techniques appropriate to the operational need, e.g. message exchange, replication mechanisms and data sharing.
The architectural framework in which the different actors have to inter-operate is of major importance to define the context in which the European Standards have to be developed.
For a systematic solution to certain flight data inconsistency problems currently existing in Europe, the definition of a Flight Object (FO) is required to become a conceptual single point of reference for flight data to be used by stakeholder systems.
Interoperability of FDP (ATC-ATC) includes coordination and transfer; correlation and surveillance, facilitation of optimum routes; MTCD and resolutions; recovery support; ground-ground situation awareness and traffic management.
Any software elements related to the software assurance level of a FDP System are outside of the scope of the present document.
Although a consensus can be reached on the present state of the art in FDP interoperability, this state of the art is not mature enough to be put into a European Standard (EN). The European Committee for Standardisation thus resolved to record the obtained technical consensus as the present Technical Specification, with informative status.

The present document is for the production of assurance evidence for software used in ground-based systems and their constituents.
This Community Specification on Software Assurance Levels (SWAL) is intended to apply to software that is part of the EATMN, focusing only on it’s “ground” segment and providing a reference against which stakeholders can assess their own practices for software specification, design, development, operation, maintenance, evolution and decommissioning.
This Community Specification defines the Technical, Operational and Maintenance requirements for Software Assurance Levels to demonstrate compliance with the applicable (see Annex A) Essential Requirements of the Regulation (EC) N° 552/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the interoperability of the European Air Traffic network (“the Interoperability regulation”).
Requirements in the present document which refer to “should” statements or recommendations in the normatively referenced material (2.1) are to be interpreted as fully normative (“shall”) for the purpose of compliance with the present document.

This European Standard defines guidelines and general principles for the implementation of an information security management system in organisations supporting civil aviation operations.
Not included are activities of the organisations that do not have any impact on the security of civil aviation operations like for example airport retail and service business and corporate real estate management.
For the purpose of this European Standard, Air Traffic management is seen as functional expression covering responsibilities of all partners of the air traffic value chain. This includes but is not limited to airspace users, airports and air navigation service providers.
The basis of all requirements in this European Standard is trust and cooperation between the parties involved in Air Traffic Management.
