Accreditation Programmes

Explore the eight ASTRA programme families, their technical scope and controlled supporting documents.

Eight programmes.
Precisely defined scopes.

Choose the programme family that matches the work. The technical object, assessment activity and authorized outcome remain distinct.

F01 / ASTRA programme

Management Systems Assurance

Evaluate organisational controls and scoped supplier capability against the applicable management-system requirements. A system-level conclusion does not establish conformity of every product or competence of every technical method.

Explore programme
F02 / ASTRA programme

Critical Processes and Products

Connect the actual product or process configuration to design, qualification, manufacturing and release evidence. Critical activities require application-specific criteria and demonstrated technical coverage.

F03 / ASTRA programme

Testing and Inspection

Define competence by method, range, site and operating conditions. Traceability, uncertainty, method validation and witnessed performance support valid technical results—not an equipment list alone.

F04 / ASTRA programme

Education Programmes

Examine named programmes, disciplines, levels and delivery routes through direct evidence of learning, moderation and learner protection. Programme recognition is separate from professional licensing or individual task authority.

F05 / ASTRA programme

Airports and Aerodromes

Evaluate defined aerodrome capability, local operating interfaces and accountable delivery. Heliports, vertiports and spaceport interfaces need their own applicable criteria; a generic airport profile does not grant wider operating permission.

F06 / ASTRA programme

Aircraft Maintenance and Technical Services

Follow facility, aircraft type and task capability through current technical data, parts history, human factors, task execution and handover. A maintenance scope does not automatically cover every internal test or training activity.

F07 / ASTRA programme

Ground Operations and Aviation Support Services

Distinguish headquarters arrangements from the real station, service and provider carrying out the work. Evaluate handovers, local variations and disrupted operations; airline flight operations are not included by default.

F08 / ASTRA programme

Carbon, Environment and Climate Assurance

Keep environmental capability, historical statement verification and prospective plan validation distinct. Each claim needs its own boundary, period, method and assurance form; a validated forecast is not an achieved reduction.

Explore programme

A programme family is not a blanket approval. The applicable profile, approved scope and current public record determine what a particular outcome covers. Publication of a profile is not activation of every service.
