• ED Decision 2025/016/R found in: Initial Airworthiness and Environmental Protection (748/2012) (Nov 2025)

##### GM1 21.A.174(b)(3)(ii) Application *ED Decision 2025/016/R* **CO2 EMISSIONS PRODUCTION CUT-OFF REQUIREMENTS FOR A USED AEROPLANE ORIGINATING FROM A NON-MEMBER STATE** Volume III of Annex 16 to the Chicago Convention (‘ICAO Annex 16') includes CO2 emissions production cut-off standards that apply to subsonic jet aeroplanes with a Maximum Take-Off Mass (MTOM) greater than 5 700 kg and propeller-driven aeroplanes with a MTOM greater than 8 618 kg, for which a type certificate was issued but that were not certified for CO2 emissions in accordance with Volume III of ICAO Annex 16, and for which the individual certificate of airworthiness (CofA) was first issued on or after 1 January 2028 (Sections 2.1.1.(f) and (g) of Chapter 2 of Part II of Volume III of ICAO Annex 16). These production cut-off standards were introduced with the first edition of Volume III of ICAO Annex 16. The applicant for a CofA (or a restricted CofA) for a used aeroplane originating from a non-Member State is specifically required to provide the date on which the first CofA was issued. This should permit the competent authority of the Member State of registry to establish whether a CO2 emissions production cut-off requirement applies to that aeroplane and verify that the compliance with this requirement has been demonstrated. If such a requirement applies, the applicant for a CofA (or a restricted CofA) shall provide the CO2 emissions evaluation metric value as certified in accordance with the applicable Standards and Recommended Practices in Volume III of ICAO Annex 16. The Agency publishes the CO2 emissions evaluation metric values approved by the Agency in the [EASA Aeroplane CO2 Emissions Database](https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/domains/environment/easa-aeroplane-co2-emissions-database-0)[[34]](#_ftn34). If a CO2 standard applies, approval of the aeroplane’s CO2 emissions evaluation metric value by the Agency is a prerequisite for a CofA (or a restricted CofA) from a Member State and is typically part of the Agency’s approval of the type design. --- [[34]](#_ftnref34) <https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/domains/environment/easa-aeroplane-co2-emissions-database-0>
