What is the regulatory basis for the requirement that a CAMO has adequate knowledge of design and maintenance status?

The regulatory basis is GM M.A.708 Continuing airworthiness management, as per ED Decision 2016/011/R.

Does the guidance require the CAMO to know about fuel tank system airworthiness limitations for all aircraft types?

No, the guidance specifically requires this for CS-25 aeroplanes, covering fuel tank system airworthiness limitations including critical design configuration control limitations (CDCCL).

GM M.A.708 Continuing airworthiness management

ED Decision 2016/011/R

The CAMO should have adequate knowledge of the design status (type specification, customer options, airworthiness directives (ADs), airworthiness limitations contained in the aircraft instructions for continuing airworthiness, modifications, major repairs, operational equipment) and of the required and performed maintenance. The status of aircraft design and maintenance should be adequately documented to support the performance of the quality system.

For CS-25 aeroplanes, adequate knowledge of the airworthiness limitations should cover those contained in CS-25 Book 1, Appendix H, paragraph H25.4 and fuel tank system airworthiness limitations including critical design configuration control limitations (CDCCL).
