Common Question

Does every ERP update have to be submitted to AER?

Archive Findings

No. Historical records distinguishes internally maintained corporate ERPs from ERPs that Directive 071 requires to be submitted for AER approval.

Engineering Insight

Before filing, decide whether the ERP is approval-submitted or internally maintained. If it is internal, focus on timely update, document control, and distribution instead of creating an unnecessary submission.

Current Guidance

Current Directive 071 and Manual 026 should be checked to confirm when an ERP or supporting form must be filed. AER filing procedures and naming requirements apply when submission is required.
