Scientific Journal of Silesian University of Technology. Series Transport 113 (December 1, 2021): 29–43. http://dx.doi.org/10.20858/sjsutst.2021.113.3.
Full textAbstract:
Safety is generally characterised as the state of being “safe”, the condition of being protected from harm or other non-desirable consequences. One effective way of achieving it is to implement a safety management system (SMS). SMS should be seen as an aggregate strategic aspect of standard business management, understanding its high priority to safety. This article describes and illustrates SMS in aviation, focusing on the similarities and differences in the system approaches adopted by selected Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) with the primary focus on the safety level. The main goal is to provide a structural comparison of the system framework within individual CAAs and its explanation in safety-related documents. This article also dealt with the chosen safety approach (reactive, proactive and predictive) and safety performance indicators (SPIs), forming a quality and effective safety system that maintains an acceptable safety level. Finally, this article is mainly based on datasets publicly available through the International Civil Aviation Organisation, Transport Canada, Civil Aviation Safety Authority Australia, Federal Aviation Administration, UK Civil Aviation Authority, Civil Aviation Administration of China and Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand websites and documentation related to safety.

Fulfillment of rules against a high standard of aviation security is an absolute necessity in the aviation world. The arrangement of the coordination of aviation security control between the Head Office of the Directorate of Aviation Security and the Office of the Airport Authority is essential to protect the safety, regularity, and efficiency of civil aviation activities in its territory. The implementation of the flight security control coordination arrangement between the Head Office of the Directorate of Aviation Security and the Office of the Airport Authority has a problem namely the Directorate of Aviation Security still performs the functions of the controlling activities, the authority of signing the extension of licensing to the Head of the Office of the Authority Authority has not been implemented, the aviation security inspector's mutation from the Aviation Security Directorate's Head Office has not worked properly, and the fulfillment and distribution of budgetary requirements for the implementation of the control and supervision of the Office of the Airport Authority has not been met.

Full textAbstract:
The case discusses the multitude of challenges that CAA faces with respect to its performance appraisal system. Sumair Saeed, Chief Human Resource CAA, feels that problems lie in the implementation of the current appraisal system. Firstly, the system of targets and objectives between and the appraiser and the appraisee at the start of the year is not being followed. This leads employees to feel unfairly treated because no criteria for performance appraisal for their evaluation have been agreed upon. Secondly, Sumair feels there is no buy-in for the performance appraisal system since supervisors regard appraisal as extra workload and an uneasy time of the year. Supervisors consider it to be a confrontational rather than developmental/feedback exercise with the subordinate. Moreover, supervisors lack training in providing feedback on appraisals. It is felt that the culture of the organisation develops hostility and distrust when the appraisals are being conducted. The appraisal system doesn’t differentiate between performers or non-performers; thus decisions on promotions or career progressions can’t be based on appraisals. The problem of demotivation among employees is also a result of an ineffective performance appraisal system, as no differentiation exists between star performers and non-performers. Sumair is now contemplating the changes in the design or the implementation of the performance appraisal system which are required to rectify the process of performance appraisal at CAA.

Purpose Training management has critical in developing of civil aviation sector in Turkey. It requires using serious corporate sources for this reason is directly topic of aviation management and strategy.it is also about process management. According to this view, this paper aims to become a guidance to management training for maintenance or training organisations in the aviation sector wishing to obtain the authorisation, given national civil aviation authority (Directorate General of Civil Aviation), of providing type rating trainings that cover the types of aeroplanes including Beech 90 Series, Socata TB Series and Cessna/Reims-Cessna 172/F172 Series. Design/methodology/approach Aviation training organisations must be managed according to aviation law and regulations. It includes several approval processes about training content. Managers must be organising their resources, and they should get well timely decision made in optimum time. In this study, a flowchart, that is the procedure to follow in accordance with the related aviation regulations, has been developed while taking the opinion of experts and using experience gained from the approval process for the type trainings. This flowchart may gain time to managers in their approval process. It may use as guidance to create optimum flow in their process management. Findings The purpose of flowchart developed is to shorten the authorisation processes of the relative institutions by eliminating the challenges caused by the excess and complexity of national or international regulations related to the of authorisation of aircraft type rating training. Originality/value It is important to gain authority. But more important is to manage the authority as sustainable way in aviation training. Loosing authority in specific field may effect on both corporate reputation and doing aviation business. Anadolu University manages related risk via scientific project during using their authorisation. The results developed as a result of the expert opinions and the experience gained during the aircraft type training authorisation process will contribute to the literature. When considered from this point of view, it is expected for this study to fill an important gap in the literature. It is highly important for the aviation sector in terms of evaluating and interpreting academically such a process for practice, and also raising awareness or providing awareness for similar practices. It may also useful for process management.

Abstract In the next article on synthesis of regulations, the authors presented the general legal requirements for rotorcraft, which is limited to US regulations, because the vast majority of world regulations are based on them. The Institute of Aviation in Warsaw has developed requirements concerning the construction and operation of rotorcraft in Poland. These requirements constitute an important contribution to the regulations of the Civil Aviation Authority which are in force in the air space of the Republic of Poland. This paper presents the legal situation of rotorcraft and compares the requirements for helicopters and gyroplane. The conclusions highlighted the differences that arise from regulations between helicopters and rotorcraft. The authors have suggested the necessity to separate provisions for the group of windmills, which is implemented in the regulations of the Civil Aviation Authority. The presented work is the second of a planned series of publications in which authors intend to bring some of the issues to the reader about the design aspects of aircraft in selected global aviation regulations.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Airport design and planning considerably differs from the design of other transport infrastructure. The reasons are the wide scope of regulation in civil aviation and the lack of links between the Civil Aviation Act and the Building Act. The effect is that the sequence of procedures, negotiation, and/or document approval is not clearly defined. The situation is further complicated by the fact that an airport is a unique construction both for the investor and for the local building authority. The paper is an outcome of our research, building on long-term experience in airport planning and design, and the elucidation of planning and approval processes with experts from the Transport Authority and the Ministry of Transport and Construction of the Slovak Republic.

Full textAbstract:
Structural change in organisations is stressful for staff and the managers who must implement it. Most change programs use employee communication techniques to support change directions set by senior executive decision makers-dominant coalitions.
This research used a single case study to explain the context and management discourses of a major re-structure of an Australian Federal Government agency, the former Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), during the early 1990s. A content analysis examined the use of keywords in management discourses that argued the need for change. The keywords represented the two major change discourses: micro-economic reform and aviation safety regulation. A critical discourse analysis investigated the dominant coalition's discourse strategies to justify change. Content and process communication theories, and the role of framing in organisational change, were used to explain how employees may have reacted to change directions.
The research found that change directions were framed as an economic imperative that clashed with a traditional organisational culture that emphasised the primacy of aviation safety. It found that mixed messages by the two principal members of the dominant coalition who drove change exacerbated the clash.
The results suggest a need for further analysis of management discourses used to inform employees about structural change, especially in organisations that have legislative responsibilities. Further analysis of change messages framed by dominant coalitions could lead to a deeper understanding ofhow they affect employees and the change process.

Full textAbstract:
The need for any aviation authority to have an alert and more so, efficient accident or incident
investigation mechanism cannot be over emphasized particularly in present day aviation practice. It
is thus, in the best interest of any state, not only to be on the high alert in the event of an accident
occurring. As well as also having sufficient resources and expertise, to engage in the investigative
process. A significant factor to the carrying out of such investigations is off course, the manner in
which such process is regulated. More so because investigations of this nature can only be carried out
and addressed in a manner stipulated as a matter of law.
It would therefore follow, that the legislation which directly regulates the process in which the
investigations are carried out should be both succinct and clear. Further, it should also adhere
strictly to internationally established guidelines of due conduct in the occurrence of accidents.
Aircraft accident and incident investigations are central to the observance of safety in aviation as a
sector. Thus, the realization of aircraft safety in aviation is a central function of any aviation
authority. It is a role so central, that it is one that is internationally recognised and harmonised.
Though not a matter of enforced International law, international best practice in this field is
established in a convention, in particular the International Convention on Civil Aviation of 1944,
which is more commonly referred to as the Chicago convention. As all treaties and/or conventions
this is an opt?in regulatory mechanism, in which only member states bind themselves. Therefore,
where a state becomes a signatory to same and has bound itself, it is of crucial importance that it
observes the laws or regulations to which it has bound itself.
As a matter of course, individual state compliance at times even for mere ratification purposes has
proved over time to be a tricky process for numerous states. This is particularly prevalent in
developing countries. Some texts have attributed this to various aspects, such as lack of necessary expertise and resources amongst other factors. Whatever the reason however, it is important that
states eventually comply with regulations laid out in conventions, so as to achieve harmonisation in
processes of International applicability.
This research paper seeks to take an in depth look into to the extent to which Swaziland as a member
state of the Chicago convention, has achieved compliance with the set guidelines of the Chicago
Convention. However, the report will confine itself to aircraft safety as the focal point, and in
particular, focus on the specific regulatory mechanisms that relate to aircraft accident and incidents.Mini Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2015.

Full textAbstract:
Motivation and its effect on employees’ performance is a broad, interesting, and important issue particularly for Human Resources Management (HRM). Motivation is the power behind individuals’ actions. For organisations’ high performance and maximum productivity motivation, programmes should be efficiently utilized. Leader Member Exchange (LMX) which is employed as a mediator in this empirical study between employees' motivation and job performance has also its influence on employees' job performance. Researchers have investigated motivation and its effect on job performance and developed theories which indicate and reflect the importance of these topics to organisations. The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) is the organization of concern in this study. GACA is a public sector organisation which is located in Saudi Arabia. It has about 2500 employees. A quantitative methodology was employed to collect data from GACA's employees where 480 questionnaires were administered to all sectors of GACA in the headquarters in Jeddah, of which 319 were usable to be analysed. Exploratory factor analysis was employed to purify the refine factors of the main constructs, followed by confirmatory factor analysis to verify the factors and determine the constructs' psychometric properties. The hypothesised relationships were tested by employing structural equation modelling based on partial least square procedures. Mediation effects were examined using the Sobel test. The findings indicate that factors were reliable, valid and consistent with the employed motivation and LMX theories. Details of the nineteen factors produced from the five constructs and four dimensions of the conceptual model Figure 3.2 are presented in chapters five and six. All but two hypotheses of this study were supported, the exceptions being (H4: Job security and LMX are positively related, and H8, Work environment and LMX are positively related) which were rejected, as the relationships were not significant. This implies that employees' motivation in its all different forms has strong influence on employees' job performance when properly implemented and utilized. However in regard to GACA, which is a public sector organisation, the respondents' responses suggest that employees are not influenced by the motivation system as there is strong concern about, for example, the opportunities for training and development courses, rewards, incentives, allowances, promotion, HRM practices, etc., which imply that reform is needed and consequently job performance is not high. In reform of the motivation system, the administration or top management should take a strategic approach that is factual, effective and efficient, which would reflect on HRM practices, human resource development, LMX and all related parties. This would structure and constitute a much better and more constructive work environment, conductive to high job performance.

This paper is outlined into four parts. The first part involves the collection of both international and domestic flight safety statistical data, incident reports, case study analysis reports, and flight problem modeling. Our research develops a new model, called “Combined effects of Flight Disaster Factors” that is a reasonable way to determine the cause of an aircraft accident or incident. The second part consists of a review of the current civil aviation environment in Taiwan. This also involves an investigating of the relationship between reported abnormal occurrences and annual flight safety incidents and accidents, including taking into consideration of the roles and responsibilities of flight safety programs. The third part formulates flight safety enhancing strategies for the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) and the airlines industry. The majority of our information is obtained from the CAA White Paper and other articles presented at aviation symposiums, conferences and related meetings, the objective is to determine if proposed safety improvements and enhancements have shown a positive trend or direction in flight safety. The final part integrates our findings from previous parts. To show the realistic flight safety situation of each flight, the “Flight Safety Dangerous M curve “ is developed. Finally, this study proposes several flight safety enhancing strategies for Civil Aviation Authorities and Airlines.

Full textAbstract:
Enforcement strategies utilized by the civil aviation safety regulator in Australia have to date, received scant attention from researchers. This thesis is a first attempt to look at such enforcement strategies and apply them to practical situations. It does so in an all embracing manner, taking into account the part played by aviation's historical origins, both international and domestic, that have led to the complex set of aviation safety regulations now in existence. It pays particular attention to the historical importance of Australia's former unique two-airline policy and the constitutional problems facing the early lawmakers dealing with a constitution written before the advent of aviation. It describes and examines regulatory theory as it relates to such enforcement strategies and attempts to bring together such theory with practice by applying it to practical examples. Finally it analyses how certain pressures and influences may have swayed the type of enforcement strategies pursued by the regulator at various times as these are evidenced in parliamentary inquiries and reported cases in the years since economic de-regulation of the aviation industry. The thesis puts forward the hypothesis that strategies of enforcement employed by the civil aviation regulatory authority have a profound effect on aviation safety. It contends that evidence drawn from inquiries and reported cases over a twenty-year period point to a regulator who prefers a compliance strategy of cooperation with industry, rather than a sanctioning or deterrence strategy. The thesis also emphasizes that the evidence drawn from various inquiries and coroner's inquests points to the fact that such a strategy, if it is lacking or seen to be lacking in adequate checks and balances, can pose an increased risk to aviation safety. Emphasis is placed on the need for the aviation safety regulator to be at all times cognizant of the dangers that are inherent in a compliance based enforcement strategy, especially where the regulator puts itself in 'partnership' with industry. A number of topics have been identified for further research. They include the need for a greater comparative analysis of enforcement strategies used by regulators in similarly aligned countries to Australia, the concept of regulatory 'capture' and a comparative inquiry into the sometimes ambiguous dual role of 'educator' and 'policeman' expected of the regulator.

Full textAbstract:
Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, 2014.Background Occupational low back pain (LBP) has been described as a significant burden to society. Although there is uncertainty and conflicting studies on the exact causes and combination of causes of LBP, it has been found that occupations which require prolonged sitting periods and have exposure to physical factors such as whole body vibration (WBV) and / or awkward posture, results in increased likelihood for LBP. Pilots are not sheltered from the development of LBP, with the lifetime prevalence of LBP varying from 31.5% to a significant 82%. Additionally, point prevalence varies significantly between 5.1% and 68%, which illustrates that individual pilot and / or occupational factors may contribute to specific pilot subgroups. This could apply to commercial pilots, who use seats that were found to be ineffective in terms of their depth and inclination, therefore limiting the height and impact of the lumbar support. There is a paucity of studies performed on LBP relating to commercial pilots, specifically, on their unique occupational setting. Research is therefore warranted to illustrate the possible risk factors to which they are exposed to, as impeded performance may lead to catastrophic consequences if a pilot’s ability to complete actions critical to flight becomes hindered. Aim To determine the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in commercial pilots and identify possible risk factors that pilots are exposed to. Study designs The study transpired as a cross sectional questionnaire survey. Participants Study comprised of 100 commercial pilots registered with the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) and affiliated with the various participating companies utilizing O.R. Tambo International Airport. Methodology All commercial pilots registered with the SACAA and who make use of the O.R.Tambo International Airport (operate through or from) and affiliated with the participating companies during the research study, was approached for participation. Pilots were required to sign and agree to the letter of information and informed consent, as well as the confidentiality agreement. Questionnaires were distributed and all documents were collected, following completion thereof. Pilots were not allocated to more than one group during the data collection (recording) phase of the study. Subgroup analysis was however not excluded in the analysis. IBM SPSS version 21 was used for analysis. A p value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Demographics of the pilots were described in the same manner as in the case of categorical variables, and using summary statistics such as mean, standard deviation and range for quantitative variables. Prevalence and characteristics of the low back pain is described using relative frequency and percentages, with 95% confidence intervals. Associations between risk factors and low back pain was identified with log linear regression analysis and tested using Pearson’s chi square test in the case of categorical variables and t-tests in the case of continuous variables. Results The lifetime prevalence of LBP amongst commercial pilots was 80.8%, with the annual prevalence reaching 68.7%. Majority of commercial pilots were white, married males, with nearly the entire population having reached similar educational levels. Considering the male predominance of this population, gender was significantly associated with LBP. Although the female population was much smaller than the male population, it was also found that females were six times more at risk of developing LBP; however the risk was not statistically significant. Awkward posture such as twisting and being stressed at work were found to be significantly related to LBP. Having a history as an ex-smoker or non-smoker was found to be a risk for LBP development. BMI was also significantly related to LBP; however, an inverse relationship is indicated. Having a subjective rating of good health versus excellent health was also an indicator of risk for LBP. Conclusion: Commercial pilots have a significant risk for LBP development. It was found that subjective ratings of own health was a good indicator of LBP whereby good health versus excellent health, was a significant risk factor. Although greater portions of the populace are white males, normally less at risk, a significant lifetime and annual prevalence of LBP was found. Furthermore, the small female population had potentially considerable contribution to the prevalence of LBP through their significant odds ratio. Being a current smoker carried less risk in comparison to a history of an ex-smoker or non-smoker, which further complicates the so often debated contribution of this proposed risk factor. Interesting results were found through the inverse proportional relationship that exists between BMI and LBP, whereby every unit increase in BMI results in a relative decreased risk for LBP development. Majority of the proposed risk factors of LBP was not found to be significant, except stress and twisting, which were found to be common risk factors amongst commercial pilots.

Text in EnglishThis research project, within the context of security risk management in general and aviation security in particular, aimed to explore the impact of the application of international and local air cargo security regulations on South Africa, with specific reference to the regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), as well as the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA). In South Africa, since the early 2000s, the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) has been the lead agency for dealing with and managing the needs for air cargo security. This oversight by SACAA culminated in 2009 with the promulgation of the SACAA Regulation commonly known as Part 108. Accordingly the primary research focus was on the impact Part 108 has had on the air cargo industry in South Africa. In addition, it compared the South African regulations with those of the USA and EU regulations; explored the compliance of the various roleplayers; sought to understand the enforcement of the regulations; and examined the effectiveness of the available security and screening methods. Furthermore, the research attempted to determine whether these regulations had any effect on preventing or deterring crime in the air cargo sector.

Semelhantemente, também na Administração Pública se tem vindo a assistir a progressivas reformas protagonizadas por diversos modelos, desde a organização profissional burocrática, de matriz weberiana, passando pelo New Public Management, até à recente configuração da escola da New Public Governance. Uma caraterística fundamental dessas reformas decorre do facto das mesmas constituírem sempre processos segmentados, parcelares e, por vezes, antagónicos e simultâneos. Nenhuma substituiu totalmente a que a precedeu, pois são incrementais.
No contexto da regulação pública nos últimos anos, muito por influência do direito da União, tem vindo a ser privilegiada a regulação por agência, o que deu origem ao fenómeno das autoridades reguladoras independentes, através do qual se assiste a um recuo do Estado intervencionista, compensado pelo avanço do Estado garantidor. Um dos desafios que se colocam ao Estado Regulador, através do seu modelo de governação em rede, é a necessidade da Administração garantir a coordenação interadministrativa de espaços regulatórios partilhados, que decorrem da regulação pública multinível, encenada em diversas arenas internacionais.
Ao nível da circulação internacional de mercadorias, designadamente por via aérea, diversas são as organizações que ativamente contribuem para a concretização progressiva, e manutenção, de uma cadeia segura de abastecimento. A mesma é conseguida através da regulação dos sujeitos económicos que decidem integrá-la, constituindo-se como parceiros confiáveis, que se distinguem assim dos outros operadores. Através da concessão (e monitorização) de autorizações públicas, é possível reconhecer os investimentos efetuados por esses agentes ao nível da segurança, conferindo-lhes, enquanto contrapartida, benefícios de diversas ordens.
Uma vez estabelecidos enquanto objetivos da regulação comunitária em relação aos diversos agentes económicos, determinados regimes de reconhecimento mútuo e medidas de facilitação, conjugadas com a manutenção dos atuais níveis de segurança, cabe às autoridades administrativas nacionais operacionalizar essa intenção do legislador supranacional, através da cooperação interadministrativa. Para tal, pode socorrer-se, sempre que possível, a modelos de simplificação dos procedimentos, na sua relação com os stakeholders. A nossa proposta de instituição de uma conferência procedimental de coordenação entre a ANAC e a AT, com vista na simplificação de um procedimento administrativo no âmbito da concessão e manutenção de estatutos de segurança relativos à segurança da carga e correio aéreos, constitui um exemplo da concretização dessa regulação pública multinível, de cariz europeu.It is impossible to understand Public Administration without understanding state and market. The current configuration of the western regulatory state, is only the last stage, of an evolutionary framework that reached its peak with (democratic) rule of law. Similarly, we have also been watching several reforms taking place within Public Administration, throught different models, starting from Max Weber’s burocratic model, New Public Management, up to the school of the New Public Governance. One of the fundamental characteristics of such reforms is the fact that, all of them consist in partial, sometimes antagonistic, and simultaneous ones, none of which really replacing the previous. Within the context of public regulation, over the last years, and because of the European law influence, regulation through agencies as been a favorite choice by many states. This has led to the creation of independent regulatory agencies, and a retreat of the positive state, giving room to the regulatory state. One of the challenges for the last, through its network policy, is granting an administrative coordination of shared regulatory spaces, which stand from multilevel public regulation, previously staged at international arenas. Concerning the international movement of goods, including those by air, there are several organizations that actively support the progressive achievement and maintenance of an international secure supply chain (SSC). This SSC is only possible by regulating economic operators who decide to take part in it as reliable partners, distinguishing themselves positively from other operators. In order to achieve that, several mechanisms were created. Generally, their function is granting (and monitoring) public authorizations that take into account the investments held by the operators, giving in return, all sorts of benefits. Once stablished, as European regulation objectives, mutual recognition regimes, facilitation measures and the maintenance of the current security levels, is up to national authorities putting them into place, through (whenever is possible), simplified proceedings along with stakeholders. Considering this in mind, our proposal for the implementation of a “coordination procedure conference” between ANAC and AT, focused on simplifying an administrative procedure (which grants and monitors several cargo and mail security status), can be seen (in our opinion), as a practical example of the above mentioned multilevel, European public regulation approach.

Full textAbstract:
Description & Application The paper traces the evolution of the Tay engine, launched in response to the requirement for an engine suitable for powering a FAR Part 36 Stage 3 noise compliant aircraft in the 70–100 seat range. The engine, which is derived from the Spey (RB183) MK 555 installed in the Fokker F28 aircraft, incorporates several latest technology features a number of which are already in service in large turbofan engines. Modularity and maintainability are key areas which have been addressed in the design of the engine; these are discussed in regard to operation in service. Results, Conclusions & General Observations The eight engine/two year development programme from first engine run to Type Approval by the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority is reviewed with detail description of some of the more important and interesting tests. Certification by the US Federal Aviation Administration was subsequently achieved under reciprocal cross-validation procedures. Flight certification of the two lead aircraft applications is now complete. With completion of type certification of the baseline engine and production deliveries now underway, attention is being turned to growth derivative versions of the engine: an uprated version, due to come on stream late 1988 in an increased weight version of the Fokker 100 has now commenced its certification programme — and further growth capabilities are being explored.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the potentially dangerous properties of radioactive material, it is during the transport that the process of nuclear energy and technology uses are prone to nuclear and radiation accidents. Radioactive material hence must be transported with reasonable containers to achieve heat dissipation, confinement of radioactive material, radiation shielding and prevention of nuclear criticality. The key to transport safety lies in the designing and manufacturing quality of the transport containers. Therefore, the safety supervision for transport containers of radioactive material is a guarantee for the environment and the public from nuclear and radiation hazards, also is international general practice. As the most authoritative international organization, International Atomic Energy Agenda (IAEA) draws up and regularly revises safety regulation ‘Regulation for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material’, which proposes technical indicators for transport containers of radioactive material and responsibility of competent authorities. According to the transport modes, other international organizations, such as International Maritime Organization, International Civil Aviation Organization, International Air Transport Association, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, enacted related transport safety regulations based on actual needs. This paper introduces the administrative licensing approval process for the transport containers of radioactive material in China and the research on competent authority and approval procedure in American, Russia, France, Canada, Germany and Great Britain. In China, National Nuclear Safe Administration (NNSA) is responsible for the licensing approval for the transport containers of radioactive material, including designing, manufacturing, using and transporting of transport containers. NNSA also organizes and formulates relevant administrative regulations and approval procedures, and has issued administrative regulation ‘Regulation on the Safe Management for the Transport of Radioactive Material’ and a series of administrative rules, management procedures, guide, technical documents and so on. These regulations established the sort management of radioactive materials and the responsibility for competent authority, and also stipulated approval and supervision for transport and transport containers of radioactive materials. While some other countries, such as America, certifies the transport containers of radioactive material to achieve the control. The domestic and overseas research into administrative licensing approval processes for transport containers is in view of the increasing transport of radioactive material among countries and the requirement of international transport. Transport containers with material of high potential risk, such as spent fuel, need to obtain the transport approval from the competent authority of transit or arrival country. Therefore, the research on domestic and other countries licensing management of transport containers of radioactive material, which is not only beneficial to improving the transport safety management of radioactive material in China, but also can promote international transport campaigns of radioactive material..
