POA Subcontractors

Subcontractors are a specific category of suppliers who do not hold Production Organisation Approval (POA) from EASA or EMAR. They are qualified by NSM to carry out parts of development, manufacturing, testing, or maintenance of NSM (Norwegian Special Mission) design components in accordance with approved design data and NSM specifications, such as drawings and procedures. These subcontractors operate under NSM approvals (EASA Part 21G) and within the NSM Quality System.

This document defines the POA requirements applicable to subcontractors, ensuring they maintain the same standards and compliance level as a POA-approved organisation (NSM).
