COMSOFT certified as Authorised Economic Operator (AEO-F)

German ATC expert COMSOFT successfully underwent a comprehensive testing procedure by the customs authorities on all specifications regarding customs and safety, as well as for reliability and solvency.

The granting of AEO-F status calls for a secure supply and production chain of the AEO in terms of the implemented regulations of the European Union and German customs. Certified as a Known Consignor since November 2012, the newly obtained certification as AEO-F included thorough procedure testing, and the optimisation of logistics processes, in accordance with the required safety criteria, and employees were made aware of potential hazards.

In addition to this, earlier in the year CAA Prague (the regulator supervising civil aviation in the Czech Republic) also successfully completed an audit to re-approve COMSOFT as a supplier for the Czech Air Navigation Service Provider ANS.

COMSOFT can also confirm a number of internationally recognised ISO accreditations that benefit their worldwide customer base, including the recertification of ISO 9001, for quality management, to which they have so far been certified for 20 consecutive years – uninterrupted since 1993.

The ISO/IEC 27001 certificate for internal IT security has also been accredited since 2005 and was followed in 2011 by the ISO/IEC 20000-1 certification for the provision of Information Technology services, in conformance to the de-facto-standard ITIL. Certification ISO 14001 for environmental management has also been awarded to the German specialist since spring 2009.

Manfred Schmid, COMSOFT's Managing Director, commented on the latest and continuous certifications, stating: "Achieving this approval as an authorised economic operator is another string to our bow. Simplifying customs clearance and ensuring the highest security standards puts time on our side as well as safety.

With the continuation and recertification of other important ISO accreditations we demonstrate our continued commitment to achieving the upmost criteria in our business and management processes, which we pass on in the solutions and products we deliver to our customers."
