DESIGN ASSURANCE ELEMENT — PARTNERS AND SUBCONTRACTORS

In meeting the requirements of point 21.A.239(d)(3), the applicant for a design organisation approval under Subpart J may adopt the following policy:

(a) The satisfactory integration of the partner and subcontractor and applicant’s design assurance systems is demonstrated for the activities that are covered under the applicant’s terms of approval.

(b) In the event that a partner and subcontractor holds a design organisation approval (DOA), then in accordance with point 21.A.239(d)(3), the applicant may take this into account in demonstrating the effectiveness of that integrated system.

(c) When any partner and subcontractor does not hold a DOA, then the applicant will need to establish to its own satisfaction and the satisfaction of EASA, the adequacy of that partner’s/subcontractor’s design assurance system in accordance with point 21.A.243(b).
