COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/699

of 21 December 2020

amending and correcting Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 as regards the instructions for continued airworthiness, the production of parts to be used during maintenance and the consideration of ageing aircraft aspects during certification

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 (2) lays down the requirements for the development and availability of instructions for continued airworthiness, for the production of parts and appliances to be installed in civil aircraft, for design approval holders to produce the data, procedures, instructions and manuals necessary to ensure the continued airworthiness of a civil aircraft, as well as for the approval of changes and repairs to type certificates and restricted type certificates. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 (2) lays down the requirements for the development and availability of instructions for continued airworthiness, for the production of parts and appliances to be installed in civil aircraft, for design approval holders to produce the data, procedures, instructions and manuals necessary to ensure the continued airworthiness of a civil aircraft, as well as for the approval of changes and repairs to type certificates and restricted type certificates.

| (2) | Instructions for continued airworthiness have to be developed by design approval holders as part of the product or part certification which, if properly implemented, should ensure that the product or part remains airworthy during its intended life. As the existing rules are not clear enough, type-certificate holders may interpret differently what is a complete set of instructions for continued airworthiness and to what level they are required to control the data that constitutes the instructions for continued airworthiness. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Instructions for continued airworthiness have to be developed by design approval holders as part of the product or part certification which, if properly implemented, should ensure that the product or part remains airworthy during its intended life. As the existing rules are not clear enough, type-certificate holders may interpret differently what is a complete set of instructions for continued airworthiness and to what level they are required to control the data that constitutes the instructions for continued airworthiness.

| (3) | Therefore, it is necessary to provide a definition for ‘instructions for continued airworthiness’ and to establish instructions for continued airworthiness as part of the type certificate in order to strengthen their control by the design approval holder, including the amendments to the instructions for continued airworthiness. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a definition for ‘instructions for continued airworthiness’ and to establish instructions for continued airworthiness as part of the type certificate in order to strengthen their control by the design approval holder, including the amendments to the instructions for continued airworthiness.

| (4) | The requirements for record keeping, manuals and instructions for continued airworthiness are spread among the various subparts of Annex I (Part 21) to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, leading to duplication of similar requirements. Therefore, those requirements should be merged into a single requirement for each of those subjects. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The requirements for record keeping, manuals and instructions for continued airworthiness are spread among the various subparts of Annex I (Part 21) to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, leading to duplication of similar requirements. Therefore, those requirements should be merged into a single requirement for each of those subjects.

| (5) | A part or appliance is only eligible for installation in a type-certified product, when it is in a condition for safe operation and an EASA Form 1 is issued to certify that the part or appliance was manufactured in conformity with approved design data, unless it is a standard part or it meets certain requirements and is installed in an ELA 1 or in an ELA 2. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

A part or appliance is only eligible for installation in a type-certified product, when it is in a condition for safe operation and an EASA Form 1 is issued to certify that the part or appliance was manufactured in conformity with approved design data, unless it is a standard part or it meets certain requirements and is installed in an ELA 1 or in an ELA 2.

| (6) | An EASA Form 1 can only be issued by a production organisation which is approved in accordance with Subpart G of Annex I (Part 21) to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, or which demonstrates the conformity of parts and appliances with the applicable design data in accordance with the procedures established in Subpart F of Annex I (Part 21) to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012. In the latter case, the EASA Form 1 issued by the production organisation also has to be validated by the competent authority. For parts and appliances for which their effect on the safety of the operation of aircraft is negligible in case of non-conformity with their design, a high production standard, as certified with an EASA Form 1, does not provide additional safety for air operations, and the issuance of an EASA Form 1 creates an unnecessary administrative burden. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

An EASA Form 1 can only be issued by a production organisation which is approved in accordance with Subpart G of Annex I (Part 21) to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, or which demonstrates the conformity of parts and appliances with the applicable design data in accordance with the procedures established in Subpart F of Annex I (Part 21) to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012. In the latter case, the EASA Form 1 issued by the production organisation also has to be validated by the competent authority. For parts and appliances for which their effect on the safety of the operation of aircraft is negligible in case of non-conformity with their design, a high production standard, as certified with an EASA Form 1, does not provide additional safety for air operations, and the issuance of an EASA Form 1 creates an unnecessary administrative burden.

| (7) | Therefore, it should be permitted to produce certain parts and appliances without the need to certify their conformity with the approved design data through the issuance of an EASA Form 1, as well as to permit the installation of such parts and appliances in type-certified products. |
| --- | --- |

(7)

Therefore, it should be permitted to produce certain parts and appliances without the need to certify their conformity with the approved design data through the issuance of an EASA Form 1, as well as to permit the installation of such parts and appliances in type-certified products.

| (8) | Any aircraft could be considered to be ageing from the moment of its manufacture. The ageing of an aircraft depends on such factors as age, the number of flight cycles and the number of flight hours. Service experience has shown that there is a need to continuously update knowledge about the structural integrity of ageing aircraft. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1159 (3) introduced new requirements for aircraft in service in order to keep up to date knowledge about ageing factors on the basis of real-time operational experience and with the use of modern tools of analysis and testing. Those requirements should ensure that design approval holders follow procedures, produce the data and make instructions and manuals for existing design available to operators for them to implement in a timely manner in order to prevent ageing structure failures. |

| (9) | When the structure of a type-certified large aeroplane is modified and after complying with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1159, the approval of such future changes or repairs is not subject to these requirements for continuing structural integrity. Furthermore, when a new type certificate or restricted type certificate for large aeroplanes is applied for, no requirement exists to ensure that the continuing structural integrity programme remains valid throughout the operational life of the aeroplane. |

When the structure of a type-certified large aeroplane is modified and after complying with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1159, the approval of such future changes or repairs is not subject to these requirements for continuing structural integrity. Furthermore, when a new type certificate or restricted type certificate for large aeroplanes is applied for, no requirement exists to ensure that the continuing structural integrity programme remains valid throughout the operational life of the aeroplane.

| (10) | Therefore, it is necessary to amend existing rules to achieve the same level of safety when large aeroplane structure will be subject to future structural changes or repairs developed and approved in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, and to add a requirement that any future holder of the type-certificate or restricted type-certificate for a large aeroplane shall ensure that the continuing structural integrity programme remains valid throughout the operational life of the aeroplane. |

Therefore, it is necessary to amend existing rules to achieve the same level of safety when large aeroplane structure will be subject to future structural changes or repairs developed and approved in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, and to add a requirement that any future holder of the type-certificate or restricted type-certificate for a large aeroplane shall ensure that the continuing structural integrity programme remains valid throughout the operational life of the aeroplane.

| (11) | Furthermore, the recent Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1383 (4) introduced a rule that the person or organisation that conducts an airworthiness review on aircraft subject to requirements set out in Annex Vb (Part-ML) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 (5) also issues the Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC). Points 21.A.174 and 21.B.325 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 should therefore be amended to align with the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014. |

| (12) | Furthermore, the term ‘continued airworthiness’ is not used consistently in Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, when referring to the data established by the design approval holder. Therefore, it is necessary to correct points 21.A.181, 21.A.211 and 21.A.431B of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012. |

| (13) | Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/897 (6) amended points 21.A.15, 21.A.93 and 21.A.432C of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012. In points (b) and (d) of point 21.A.15, in point (b) of point 21.A.93 and in point (b) of point 21.A.432C a grammatical error occurred when referring to the possibility of supplementing the initial application later with the certification programme. Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 should therefore be corrected. |

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/897 (6) amended points 21.A.15, 21.A.93 and 21.A.432C of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/700

of 26 March 2021

amending and correcting Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 as regards the maintenance data and the installation of certain aircraft components during maintenance

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (1), and in particular Article 17(1),

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 (2) lays down the requirements for the continuing airworthiness of aircraft, including the requirements for the installation of components on aircraft. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 (2) lays down the requirements for the continuing airworthiness of aircraft, including the requirements for the installation of components on aircraft.

| (2) | When a new component is installed during aircraft maintenance it is to be accompanied by an EASA Form 1 issued in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 (3) to attest conformity of the new component to its approved design data. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

When a new component is installed during aircraft maintenance it is to be accompanied by an EASA Form 1 issued in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 (3) to attest conformity of the new component to its approved design data.

| (3) | In order to have more proportionate and efficient requirements for new components, Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 has been recently amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/699 (4) to remove the requirement to certify the conformity of the new components for which their effect on the safety of the operation of aircraft is negligible in case of non-conformity with their design and to permit their installation in type-certified products without the issuance of an EASA Form 1. |

In order to have more proportionate and efficient requirements for new components, Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 has been recently amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/699 (4) to remove the requirement to certify the conformity of the new components for which their effect on the safety of the operation of aircraft is negligible in case of non-conformity with their design and to permit their installation in type-certified products without the issuance of an EASA Form 1.

| (4) | Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 should also be amended to allow such new components to be installed during maintenance. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 should also be amended to allow such new components to be installed during maintenance.

| (5) | For components maintained, an EASA Form 1 should be issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 in order to attest that the identified maintenance work on those components has been conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

For components maintained, an EASA Form 1 should be issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 in order to attest that the identified maintenance work on those components has been conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements.

| (6) | In order to achieve the same objective of proportionality and efficiency as in the recently amended Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 should introduce the same alleviations as regards the maintenance of components for which the issuance of an EASA Form 1 is not required. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

In order to achieve the same objective of proportionality and efficiency as in the recently amended Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 should introduce the same alleviations as regards the maintenance of components for which the issuance of an EASA Form 1 is not required.

| (7) | Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 has been amended in relation to the identification, approval, formatting and availability of the Instructions for Continuing Airworthiness (ICA) and by establishing ICA as part of the aircraft type certificate. This has implications on the definition of applicable maintenance data in Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, which therefore should be amended to ensure consistency with Regulation (EU) No 748/2012. |
