That is absolutely not true. The IS-BAO program it the one that has been accepted by ICAO as the defacto framework for a SMS. The SMS must conform to the IS-BAO standards in order to be approved for operations within Europe. The ICAO SMS standards are derived from a number of sources, predominantly ISO 9000.With regard to the IS-BAO certification, I have been told having this approval is like a charter company being ARGUS approved..... Doesn't really carry any weight and is just another multi-thousand dollar audit that is unnecessary?
Also, that having a SMS program in place is the only requirement for Europe not necessarily what is in the program.
We also bought the is-bao generic SMS manual and cd rom. Can we as a flight department use that manual as our own SMS or do we have to write our own manual based on that one for our company specific? We are 91 and only operate one airplane.
You dont need an SMS to go anywhere.
But yes, you can use this manual to develop an SMS of your own then get it audited if you desire "IS-BAO Certification"
Hopefully the FAA will have some guidance on this soon.
