AMC2 21.A.7(a) Identification of ICA ED Decision 2021/007/R The instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) may be provided together with other, additional or optional, maintenance information, as described in point [21.A.6](#_DxCrossRefBm1649096931), or in another acceptable format as per [GM1 21.A.7(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm1649096936), with the following conditions: (a)     The information that is necessary for the continued airworthiness is clearly identified (refer to [AMC1 21.A.7(b)](#_DxCrossRefBm1649096935)). (b)     The ICA may reference additional instructions for continued airworthiness in separate publications, where necessary (for example, those produced by suppliers). If the product ICA reference the use of supplier’s data (e.g. component maintenance manual (CMM) or section of it) as the appropriate location for the ICA, those applicable instructions are incorporated by reference and become part of the complete set of the ICA for the product. (c)      Additional or optional maintenance information not considered as ICA but referenced by the design approval holder (DAH) together with the ICA should be evaluated appropriately by the DAH in order to ensure that its use will not compromise the continued airworthiness of the product or article. (d)     If the maintenance data made available by a DAH includes data from an operator (i.e. in order to customise the data for the operator, and created under the authority of the operator), the operator’s data should be identified as such, and the DAH is not required to additionally evaluate it. ##### AMC2 21.A.7(a) Identification of ICA *ED Decision 2021/007/R* The instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) may be provided together with other, additional or optional, maintenance information, as described in point [21.A.6](#_DxCrossRefBm485230422), or in another acceptable format as per [GM1 21.A.7(a)](#_DxCrossRefBm485230427), with the following conditions: (a) The information that is necessary for the continued airworthiness is clearly identified (refer to [AMC1 21.A.7(b)](#_DxCrossRefBm485230426)).
