Why should STEBs manufacturers register with ICAO?
State Letter AS 8/11-07/26, dated 30 March 2007, requests the registration of STEBs manufacturers (or producers) with ICAO, in order that a unique identification code may be provide for each. The rationale of this measure is in order to: 1) obtain a centralized list of STEBs manufacturers and producers for the use of States and industry stakeholders; 2) speed up the reporting process of any problem identified with STEBs (during a journey or elsewhere) to Appropriate Authorities and manufacturers and producers of STEBs; and 3) consider further enhancements related to STEBs, either in their design, production or additional security devices, with the involvement of manufacturers/producers. Please note that only manufacturers may use their name in the “State/Manufacturer” box, not distributors.
