AMC M.A.711(c)
The sentence ‘for the particular aircraft for which the organization is approved to issue the
airworthiness review
certificate’ contained in M.A.711(c) means that:

2. Parts and appliances to be installed as part of a SC/SR
The design of the parts and appliances to be used in a SC/SR is considered a part of the change/repair, and, therefore,
there is no need of a specific design approval. However, it is possible that for a particular SC, these Certification
Specifications specifically require the use of parts and appliances that meet a technical standard. In this case, when the parts and
appliances require to be authorized as an ETSO article, other articles recognised as equivalent by means of an international safety
agreement or grandfathered in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 are equally acceptable.
Normally, a SC/SR shall not contain specifically designed parts that should be produced by a production organisation approved in
accordance with Part-21 (POA). However, in the case that the change or repair would contain such a part, it should be produced by an
approved Production Organisation (POA), and delivered with a Form 1. An arrangement in accordance with 21.A.122 (b) is not
applicable.
Eligibility for installation of parts and appliances belonging to a SC/SR is subject to compliance with the Part-21 and Part-M and Part-
145 related provisions, and the situation varies depending on the aircraft in/on which the SC/SR is to be embodied, and who the
installer is. The need for an EASA Form 1 is addressed in Part-21 and Part-M, while less restrictive rules may, for instance, apply for ELA1
and ELA2 aircraft parts (e.g. 21.A.307) and sailplanes parts (e.g. AMC 21.A.303 of the ‘AMC and GM to Part-21’4). Furthermore, Part-M
Subpart F and Part-145 contain provisions (i.e. M.A.603(c) and 145.A.42(c)) allowing maintenance organisations to fabricate certain
parts to be installed in/on the aircraft as part of their maintenance activities.

3. Parts and appliances identification

The parts modified or installed during the embodiment of the SC/SR need to be permanently marked in accordance with Part-21
Subpart Q.

(This paragraph should set out a procedure for the assessment of the approval status of any major
modification before embodiment. This will include the assessment of the need of an Agency or design
organisation approval. It should also identify the type of approval required, and the procedure to follow to
have a modification approved by the Agency or design organisation.)
…
1.9 Engineering activity
(Where applicable, this paragraph should expose the scope of the organisation’s engineering activity in terms of
approval of modification and repairs. It should set out a procedure for developing and submitting a
modification/repair design for approval to the Agency and include reference to the supporting documentation
and forms used. It should identify the person in charge of accepting the design before submission to the Agency
or the competent authority. Where the organisation has a DOA capability under Part 21, it should be indicated
here and the related manuals should be referred to.)
