21.B.80 Type-certification basis for a type-certificate or
restricted type-certificate
Regulation (EU) 2019/897
The Agency shall establish the type certification basis and notify it to the applicant for a type-certificate or restricted type-certificate. The type certification basis shall consist of:
(a) the certification specifications for airworthiness designated by the Agency from those applicable to the product at the date of application for that certificate, unless:
1. the applicant chooses to comply, or is required to comply in accordance with point 21.A.15(f), with certification specifications which became applicable after the date of the application; If an applicant chooses to comply with a certification specification which became applicable after the date of the application, the Agency shall include in the type-certification basis any other certification specification that is directly related; or
2. the Agency accepts any alternative to a designated certification specification that cannot be complied with, for which compensating factors have been found that provide an equivalent level of safety; or
3. the Agency accepts or prescribes other means that:
(i) in the case of a type-certificate, demonstrate compliance with the essential requirements of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139; or
(ii) in the case of a restricted type-certificate, provide a level of safety adequate with regard to the intended use; and
(b) any special condition prescribed by the Agency in accordance with point 21.B.75(a).
EASA defines the airworthiness type-certification basis for aircraft. This includes applicable certification specifications at the time of application, unless later standards are chosen or required. Alternatives to specifications may be accepted if equivalent safety is demonstrated. Special conditions can also be prescribed to ensure essential requirements or adequate safety for intended use.
