Safety Requirements for Suppliers


The SRS-01 (Safety Requirements for Suppliers) and associated modules SRS-XXX is the Safety Manual applicable to all Suppliers when referred to within a Purchase Order or Agreement, and shall be flowed-down to all Sub-tier Suppliers. The SRS-XXX Modules shall be applied at their latest revision as published below.

All Suppliers must be approved to supply articles. The SRS-01 contains specific Leonardo Helicopters requirements consistent with ICAO Annex 19 framework and European Regulations time schedule.
The use of documents and guidelines, such as SM-0001 SMS International Industry Standard, are recommended to supplement the application of SRS-01.

The SRS-01 Issue 0 and associated modules are effective immediately for new approved Suppliers and applicable from December 2nd 2022 for Part 145 certified Suppliers and from March 7th, 2023 for Part 21 certified Suppliers. A transition period of 2 years will be allowed to complete the implementation, at the end of which the Findings have to be closed.

The certified Suppliers will need to comply with the revised Leonardo supplier qualification process that will include also Safety Requirements.

Regarding non certified Suppliers, Leonardo Helicopters proposes a voluntary implementation of safety requirements (reference SRS-101/102) through a two phase approach (Basic and Advanced) with a suggested two years implementation period in line with the requirements of the certified suppliers. The Suppliers willing to pursue this approach will need to notify their interest to the LH Procurement that will re-launch the qualification process for their company.

Furthermore, in the coming months, Leonardo Helicopters will engage Key Suppliers to improve the current contractual agreements based on supplier characteristics and performance on airworthiness and safety issues.
