ED Decision 2025/007/R
(a) Aircraft oil handling means replenishing the aircraft’s oil. Like any other activity related to aircraft maintenance, it is subject to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, on continuing airworthiness, as a maintenance task, and therefore exempted from compliance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/20. Oil handling is performed by personnel of a maintenance organisation approved under Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 or compliant with ICAO Annex 8 Maintenance of Aircraft, when it is performed on third‑country registered aircraft by organisations that are not subject to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014. This task may also be performed by the flight crew for those aircraft for which oil handling is mentioned in the aircraft flight manual, as part of the pre-flight inspection as indicated in AMC M.A.301(a), paragraphs 2 and 3, to the abovementioned Regulation.
(b) Aircraft may be replenished with oil either by aircraft operator personnel or by a contracted third‑party provider that holds approval in accordance with the requirements mentioned above.
