(b)     The justification of an MMEL item may be based on the guidance material provided in Appendix 1 to GM1 MMEL.145.

(c)      The guidance material provided in Appendix 1 to GM1 MMEL.145 is as an acceptable basis for the development of associated MMEL items justifications.

The availability of a guidance material for an item does not prevent the applicant to prepare alternate MMEL content.
