of certifying employees.
       (j)Aeronautical product certifying employees must be authorised by an AMO under section 145.A.35 before issuing an aeronautical product certificate of release to service.
       (k)For subparagraphs 145.A.30 (g) 1, 145.A.30 (g) 2, 145.A.30 (h) 1, 145.A.30 (h) 2 and subparagraph 145.A.30 (i) 1, and subject to Appendix III and the other provision of this MOS, an AMO may only authorise an individual to perform maintenance certification and issue certificates of release to service for aircraft maintenance under the following circumstances:
1. the person is the holder of an Australian Part 66 Aircraft Engineer Licence for the aircraft/engine combination or rating in the licence category applicable to the authorisation (the applicable aircraft/engine combination or rating);
2. for a person employed by an AMO in an AMO location outside Australian territory, to certify at that location:
           (i) the person holds an ICAO Annex 1 Aircraft Maintenance Licence that has been issued by the NAA for:
(A) the location where the person is employed; or
(B) the AMO's main location; and
           (ii) one of the following applies:
(A) the licence includes the applicable aircraft/engine combination or rating; or
(B) the person has met all type specific training and experience required for the addition of the applicable aircraft/engine combination or rating to an Australian Part 66 Aircraft Engineer Licence and the applicable combination or rating cannot be added to the person's licence because:
 (1) the licence is an airframes and powerplants licence, which lists airframes and powerplants, and aircraft systems or components, under broad categories as described in Chapter 4 of Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention; or
 (2) the aircraft/engine combination is not listed on the National Register of licences and ratings for the country where the location is.
       (l)If an aircraft is grounded at a location (other than a main location of the AMO) and there is no appropriately qualified certifying staff available, an AMO may authorise any of the following persons, in writing, to perform maintenance certification and issue certificates of release to service for aircraft maintenance for a single maintenance event:
1. an employee of the AMO who holds an equivalent type authorisation on aircraft of similar technology, construction and systems;
2. a person with not less than 5 years' maintenance experience who holds a valid aircraft maintenance licence issued by an ICAO Contracting State rated for the aircraft type requiring certification, provided there is no other AMO with the necessary approval at that location and the AMO obtains and retains evidence of the experience and the licence of that person.
       (m) Within 7 days of issuing an authorisation for any limited certification authorisations mentioned in paragraph (l), an AMO must give CASA a copy of the authorisation.
