Conclusions
The European Civil aviation Conference (ECAC) developed a Common evaluation process of aviation security equipment
This process evaluates equipment against ECAC / EU standards and provides results to 44 ECAC Members states for their national certification task
The process is related today to EDS ; LEDS ; security scanners (AIT), and should be extended along the development of Common testing methods.
STAC (DGAC/France) is one participating test centre to the CEAC CEP Process

ECAC Versus EU Commssion
2 different institutions
EU regulates civil aviation since 2002 (“Shall”)
ECAC establishes RECOMMENDATIONS (“Should”) since 1955 on all aspects of civil aviation.
ECAC : European regional organisation under ICAO umbrella

3 types of testings
Full test = a TYPE of equipment is evaluated against a standard of the ECAC DOC30 (identical to EU Aviation security regulation standards
Simulator re-test
Configuration change management
8 Titre de la présentation
Service technique de l’aviation civile Date de la présentation
Full test
Type of equipment to be identified
CONOPS to be provided
Detection rates against threats
Threat sample are a subpart of the threat describe in the regulation
Manufacturer doesn’t know the threat sample
Manufacturer doesn't record data
Raw data are kept by the test centre
Limited feedback to manufacturer

Simulation re-tests (1/2)
A simulation re-test may be possible if:
1. The proposed change only affects the software
2. Data has been stored during the original tests
3. A simulator is available
4. There are no hardware or other changes that cannot be simulated
10 Titre de la présentation
Service technique de l’aviation civile Date de la présentation
Simulation re-tests (2/2)
To utilise a simulation test:
1. Data must have been recorded from an original system that has the same hardware and conops
2. The simulator software must be verified, using a verification set of data (details as part of the CTM)

Example of LEDS
CEP classification (not part of the standards)
Type A- individual containers are opened and their contents sampled.
Type B- individual containers are screened with no requirement to sample the liquid directly.
Type C- multiple containers are screened simultaneously (e.g. containers in a tray).
Type D- container(s) can be screened whilst remaining in a cabin bag. (methodology for testing with large electronic items together with liquids has also been developed, although current EU Regulation does not allow their use)

Summary of progress so far
For LEDS 50+ tests have been completed since 2010
−Full tests
−Simulator Re Tests
−Configuration Change Management requests can now be considered
As of May 2012 there are 42 systems that have met a Standard:
−Type A = 8 systems (1x Std 1 and 7x Std 2)
−Type B = 13 systems (5x Std 1 and 8x Std 2)
−Type C = 19 systems (12x Std 1 and 7x Std 2)
−Type D = 2 systems (1x Std 1 and 1x Std 2)
