The verification of systems identified in the first subparagraph of Article 2(1) shall demonstrate the conformity of these systems with the interoperability, performance and safety requirements of this Regulation in an assessment environment that reflects the operational context of these systems.

2. The verification of systems identified in the first subparagraph of Article 2(1) shall be conducted in accordance with appropriate and recognised testing practices.

3. Test tools used for the verification of systems identified in the first subparagraph of Article 2(1) shall have appropriate functionalities.

4. The verification of systems identified in the first subparagraph of Article 2(1) shall produce the elements of the technical file required by point 3 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 552/2004 including the following elements:

• description of the implementation,

• the report of inspections and tests achieved before putting the system into service.

5. The air navigation service provider shall manage the verification activities and shall in particular:

• determine the appropriate simulated operational and technical environment reflecting the operational environment,

• verify that the test plan describes the integration of systems identified in the first subparagraph of Article 2(1) in an operational and technical assessment environment,

• verify that the test plan provides full coverage of the applicable interoperability, performance and safety requirements of this Regulation,

• ensure the consistency and quality of the technical documentation and the test plan,

• plan the test organisation, staff, installation and configuration of the test platform,

• perform the inspections and tests as specified in the test plan,

• write the report presenting the results of inspections and tests.

6. The air navigation service provider shall ensure that the systems identified in the first subparagraph of Article 2(1) under its responsibility meet the interoperability, performance and safety requirements of this Regulation.

7. Upon satisfying completion of verification of conformity, air navigation service providers shall draw up the EC declaration of verification of system and submit it to the national supervisory authority together with the technical file as required by Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 552/2004.

PART B Requirements for the verification of systems referred to in Article 12(2)

1. The verification of systems identified in the first subparagraph of Article 2(1) shall demonstrate the conformity of these systems with the interoperability, performance and safety requirements of this Regulation in an assessment environment that reflects the operational context of these systems.

• description of the implementation,

• the report of inspections and tests achieved before putting the system into service.

5. The air navigation service provider shall determine the appropriate operational and technical assessment environment reflecting the operational environment and shall have verification activities performed by a notified body.

6. The notified body shall manage the verification activities and shall in particular:

• verify that the test plan describes the integration of systems identified in the first subparagraph of Article 2(1) in an operational and technical assessment environment,

• verify that the test plan provides full coverage of the applicable interoperability, performance and safety requirements of this Regulation,
