Airfield in question requires visual conditions until 7000 ft or climb gradient of 8%.
I suppose that traffic load at 35 deg C OAT would be too restrictive for commercial purposes for typical twin engine jet.

So each operator must develop its own tailored EO SID if they want to operate any conditions lower than 7000 ft cloud base and VMC bellow that including night ops. Competent authority which issued the AOC to operator shall during its regulatory oversight look into the EO SIDs too and rise a finding if they think that procedures are not adequate.
So competent authority is involved but not directly.

This EO SID would be mandatory in IFR / Night departures as the only one available.

In situations when daylight and ceiling is above 7000 ft and VMC below they could still use visual departures if cleared by ATC of course.

If the EO SID procedure contains RF legs it would be classified as an RNP-AR procedure requiring prior direct approval by the competent authority of the country where the airport is located and indirectly as stated above by authority of the state which issued the AOC to operator.

Any comments are appreciated!
