ED Decision 2023/013/R
VOLUNTARY INVOLVEMENT OF EASA PRIOR TO THE SUBMISSION OF DECLARATION
The declarant may choose to involve EASA prior to submitting the declaration of design compliance for a major change. This would allow EASA to:
(f) check the scope of the product is still within the scope of Subpart C;
(g) provide guidance on the completeness of the compliance-demonstration plan and the selection of means of compliance;
(h) advise on the selection of the applicable detailed technical specifications and applicable noise requirements;
(i) provide guidance about noise tests (if applicable) and witness them;
(j) avoid any issues or delays during the the physical inspection and assessment of the aircraft (if considered necessary prior to issuing flight conditions under point 21L.B.242(a)4) or if considered to be necessary under point 21L.B.121(b)).
The initiation of the project may occur before starting the compliance activities or during those activities. The assignment of a dedicated project number would facilitate any subsequent communication with EASA. This will facilitate the provision of compliance documentation required by point 21L.A.107(d), which may be provided by the declarant to EASA at key stages in the compliance demonstration prior to the submission of the declaration of design compliance for the major change.
