ACI Europe has raised concerns and denounced structural shortcomings in the current EU testing and certification regime and has reiterated its call for an urgent and complete reset of this regime and associated processes.
Olivier Jankovec, director general of ACI Europe, said, “We now live in a very different world in which the convergence of geopolitics and cyber and physical security threats is plain to see. In that context, it is very clear that our decades‑old testing and certification regime for aviation security equipment is no longer fit for purpose.
“We just can’t keep relying on a system essentially based on a good‑will cooperation between EU states, where even aligned testing methodologies are not guaranteed — and validating test results takes forever.
