Relationship of the Canadian Air Transport Security Autority Standard to International Organization for Standardization 9001:2015
Once your organization has applied to the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) for the Airport Screening Service Agreement (ASSA) Pre-Qualification Program, the next stage in the process will be to submit your management system documentation that identifies the processes used to meet the requirements in the Standard. The Qualification Requirements Checklist must accompany the documentation.
The CGSB requires this checklist to be completed by the applicants to aid in both the document review and the on-site field audit. The checklist is a breakdown of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) Screening Contractor Management System Standard and is designed to map the applicant's documentation to the individual elements.
For each element or statement, please indicate in the "Reference and Revision" column, your applicable documentation (policy, procedure, etc.) where this requirement is met.
The "Critical" column indicates elements that the CGSB auditor deems critical to the management system. Note this column is for the use of the CGSB auditor, and does not require the applicant's input, but may act as a guide to the applicant as to areas of higher importance. As this is a new program these elements were designated based on the CGSB knowledge and experience of other management systems, and throughout the implementation phase of the program these "critical" elements may change. Applicants are required to meet all elements, not only the critical ones.
The other columns under "Document" and "Use" are for CGSB use only and do not require input by the applicant. Within these columns there are various reference notes to aid the applicant. These notes include examples of the type of documentation required by the CGSB to demonstrate the management system meets the particular element.
The "Objective Evidence Assessed" box at the bottom of the page is again for CGSB use only.
Please submit a completed checklist as well as the referenced documentation to the attention of the CGSB.
