Safety reporting

Safety reporting

The Air, Maritime and Railway Traffic Accident Investigation Agency uses safety occurrence monitoring mechanisms through the Mandatory Occurrence Reporting system and the Voluntary Reporting system to enhance aviation safety within the European Union (EU) and worldwide.
These systems ensure the reporting, collection, storage, preservation, exchange, dissemination, and analysis of information related to safety in civil aviation.

Reporting of Safety-Related Occurrences is Regulated by:

• Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 on the reporting, analysis and follow-up of occurrences in civil aviation, amending Regulation (EU) No 996/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Directive 2003/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulations (EC) No 1321/2007 and (EC) No 1330/2007;
• Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1018 of 29 June 2015 laying down a list classifying occurrences in civil aviation to be mandatorily reported pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council; and
• Ordinance on the Implementation of Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the reporting, analysis and follow-up of occurrences in civil aviation (Official Gazette Nos. 107/2015, 92/2016 and 28/2019*).*
  This Ordinance defines the competent authorities responsible for the implementation of the Regulation in the Republic of Croatia. The Annex to the Ordinance contains applicable occurrence reporting forms and the ICAO risk classification scheme.
