 (a) the equipment need not meet the requirements of, or be approved under, Part 21 of CASR; and
 (b) for a foreign-registered aeroplane — the equipment need not have been approved by the NAA of the aeroplane's State of registry; and
 (c) no information, or data, provided by the equipment may be used by a flight crew member, of the aeroplane, to comply with any requirement of the civil aviation legislation in relation to communications or navigation; and
 (d) the equipment, whether functional or otherwise, must not at any time affect the airworthiness of the aeroplane; and

For example, section 11.21 provides for an allowable period of 72 hours in relation to flights of an aeroplane with inoperative altitude alerting equipment. An MEL would not be approved if it contained a maximum period for altitude alerting equipment to be inoperative that was greater than the period specified by either a master minimum equipment list (MMEL) or the legislation.
