Hi all
Do you know why EASA has elected to use the word "appoint" and not "nominate" in the selection of the person/group being responsible for the ISMS?
I'm referring to IS.I.OR.240(b) Personnel requirements.
I've been through the video from the EASA Part-IS workshop in November '24 and on day 1 at timestamp 5:34:00, Gerrit Neubauer asks if there is any difference from authority perspective between a "nominated person" and a "appointed person".
To this question, Angeliki Karakoliou from EASA replies, that they consider it as being the same.
But, why not just use the term "nominated"?
Can I find references for how EASA interpret those terms other places than in the YouTube video?
The reason for my questions, is the way the regulations set requirements for "nominated persons", but not as much for "appointed persons". Unless of course, those two terms are considered the same.
There are many references to "nominated person" like:
In AMC1 ARO.GEN.330 Changes - organisations, the compentent authority must make sure the nominated person is suitable before acceptence.
In ORO.AOC.135 Personnel requirements, a list of "nominated persons" is described, but no mention of ISMS.
How have you interpreted this and do you know how the authorities will interpret it?
It seems like they purposely decided to avoid using the term "Nominated Person" to avoid confusion with the term used for authority-approved figures.
A Nominated Person is usually someone nominated by the organisation and approved by the authority.
The Appointed Person in the context of Part-IS doesn't require approval from the authority, therefore is directly appointed by the organisation.
