AMC2 21L.A.24(b)(4) Application for a type certificate

ED Decision 2023/013/R

UPDATES TO THE COMPLIANCE-DEMONSTRATION PLAN

It is acceptable to provide an initial compliance-demonstration plan that is not fully complete, e.g. due to schedule constraints of the design, analysis and testing activities.

The applicant should provide information in the compliance-demonstration plan that is provided to EASA about the applicable certification specifications and the environmental protection requirements (e.g. for aircraft noise: in terms of the applicable chapter of Volume I of Annex 16 to the Chicago Convention and the related limits).

Furthermore, even if the initial compliance-demonstration plan is complete, it may be necessary to amend it throughout the duration of the project.

The compliance-demonstration plan should be updated and resubmitted to EASA during the certification project. In particular, updates to the following elements should be provided:

— any complementary information that was not included in the initial compliance-demonstration programme;

— any change that may have an impact on the certification basis or means of compliance;

— any change to the intended use or kind of operation of the product;

— a change to the key characteristics of the product such as but not limited to any declared limits that are intended to be recorded in the type certificate data sheet (TCDS);

— any change to the initial type-certification basis or environmental protection requirements, as applicable to the product, regardless whether the change is initiated by EASA or by the applicant;

— any change to the proposed means of compliance, including its/their methodology;

— any relevant change to the design organisation personnel (and design organisation (DO) suppliers) that are involved in the project; and

— any change to the project schedule affecting planned Agency verification activities under point 21L.B.46.
