holder's operations manual (the operations manual) must clearly identify the EFB which the holder permits a flight crew member to use (a permitted EFB).
       3.2The identification of a permitted EFB in the operations manual must indicate its class and functionality level.
       3.3An AOC holder may make an EFB a permitted EFB for an aircraft only if he or she has first demonstrated and documented that the EFB is suitable for:
(a) use in the aircraft for operational purposes, taking into account, for example, radiation, electromagnetic interference, and other electronic devices, instruments and equipment carried on, or installed in, the aircraft; and
(b) the operating conditions in which the EFB is to be used, including, for example, the expected ranges of temperature, humidity, lighting, turbulence and altitude.
       3.4The AOC holder must ensure that a flight crew member of an aircraft must not use an EFB other than a permitted EFB.
       3.5The AOC holder must issue each operating flight crew member with a permitted EFB for his or her exclusive use on the flight deck of an aircraft.
       3.6The AOC holder must ensure that, at the point of aircraft despatch, there is available on the flight deck and accessible to the pilot in command:
(a) a backup EFB capable of substituting, in all respects, for the EFB of the most senior flight crew member to whom an EFB was issued; or
Note   See Definitions in subclause 1.1.

Note   To avoid doubt, a backup EFB does not require a further backup EFB.
