AMC M.A.402(d) Performance of maintenance ED Decision 2016/011/R When performing maintenance, personnel are required to use the tools, equipment and test apparatuses necessary to ensure completion of work in accordance with accepted maintenance and inspection standards. Inspection, service or calibration that is performed on a regular basis should be performed in accordance with the equipment manufacturers’ instructions. All tools requiring calibration should be traceable to an acceptable standard. In this context, ‘officially recognised standards’ means those standards established or published by an official body, being either a natural or legal person, and which are widely recognised by the air transport sector as constituting good practice. If the organisation responsible for the type design involved recommends special equipment or test apparatuses, personnel should use the recommended equipment or apparatuses or equivalent equipment accepted by the competent authority. All work should be performed using materials of such quality and in such a manner that the condition of the aircraft or its components after maintenance is at least equal to its or their original or modified condition (with regard to aerodynamic function, structural strength, resistance to vibration, deterioration and any other qualities affecting airworthiness). ##### AMC M.A.402(d) Performance of maintenance *ED Decision 2016/011/R* When performing maintenance, personnel are required to use the tools, equipment and test apparatuses necessary to ensure completion of work in accordance with accepted maintenance and inspection standards.
