DIN EN 16495:2014-05

The European Standard DIN EN 16495 "Air Traffic Management - Information security for organisations supporting civil aviation operations" defines guidelines and general principles for the implementation of an information security management system in organisations supporting civil aviation operations. Not included in the scope are activities of the organisations that do not have any impact on the security of civil aviation operations like for example management of 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. This standard is structured in line with ISO/IEC 27002. ISO/IEC 27002 is merely referenced in all cases in which its measures can be applied without being amended or supplemented. In all cases in which the implementation of ISO/IEC 27002 measures requires supplementation specific to aviation, this has been integrated directly in the respective section. The present document EN 16495:2014 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 377 "Air traffic management" (secretariat: DIN, Germany) with the collaboration of German experts at the Aerospace Standards Committee. The responsible German standardisation body is Working Committee NA 131-05-02 AA "Flugverkehrsmanagement (ATM) (SpA CEN/TC 377)" ("Air traffic management (ATM) (mirror committee to CEN/TC 377)") at the DIN Standards Committee Aerospace.
