In this section (chapter 2) you will find reference to certification related codes e.g. JAR-21, JAR-22, JAR-P etc. As these JARs are transpositions from associated European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Implementing Rules and Certification Specifications, reference can also be found to these.
In chapter 3 reference is made to the CJAA and Agency (EASA) procedures. These working procedures make up the general principles applicable to the CJAA, the JAA Member States or the Agency (EASA).
Chapter 4 provides lists of Approved Organisations (POA, DOA), Joint Technical Standard Order Authorisations (JTSO) and Supplemental Type Certificates (STC).
Training courses are offered for the regulations introduced in Chapter 2. Chapter 5 provides the details.
Chapter 6 introduces the topic of Changed Product Rule and Continuous Improvement Team (CPR - CIT). First annual report can be downloaded. |

| A Protocol to the Cyprus Arrangements on the participation of EASA has been signed on 25 November 2003. As a consequence, new JAA procedures have been developed to reflect the role of EASA in the JAA system, taking into account the responsibilities derived from the Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 in the field of certification. |
| 3.1 |
Production Organisation Approvals (POA)
In continuity with the previous Joint Production Organisation Approval (POA) Procedures, the new JAA POA procedures have been defined to allow the issue of POA that can be recognised by all JAA Members, following a single technical assessment.
As a consequence, POA issued by EASA, EU JAA Members or non EU JAA Members in accordance with these new JAA procedures are mutually recognised as a means to demonstrate the capability required by Part 21 for production organisations and are published in the lists below (see chapter 4.1).

Joint Technical Standard Order Authorisations (JTSO) |
| 4.3.1 |
Introduction
The JTSO Authorisations issued under JAA procedures prior to 28.09.03 are deemed to have been issued in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1702/2003 (ref. article 2.13). The lists as existing on 28.09.2003 are published here.
Since 28.09.2003, EASA is issuing ETSO Authorisations. See list on EASA website.
With the new JAA procedures, EASA will issue also its own ETSO Authorisations for the non EU JAA Members standardised for that activity, and publish them in the list above. |
| 4.3.2 |
When a NAA has issued a JTSO Authorisation in accordance with these procedures, the JAA Certification Division publishes it in this document. |
| 4.3.3 |
Some NAAs may still have national administrative requirements with regard to the approval of equipments. |
| 4.3.4 |
A JTSO Authorisation does not cover the approval of the installation on an aircraft. Any NAA being involved in the certification of a domestic product fitted with such articles may request any data about design and compliance demonstration. It is the responsibility of the product or modification designer who specifies its use to ensure that it meets the relevant installation design requirements for the product. Similarly, equipment required by JAR-OPS or other operational requirements to be installed or carried in an aircraft must be compatible with the intended operation of the aircraft. |
| 4.3.5 |
Information provided
Details of the JTSO Authorisations granted in accordance with JAR-21 Subpart O or Subpart N-O and the JAA Procedures for JTSO Authorisation, are provided per category of equipment. First column contains names and addresses of JTSO Authorisation Holders, in alphabetical order. |
| 4.3.6 |
The code of the approval reference number is the following:
- [NAA designator].O.xxx for JTSO Authorisation issued under JAR-21 Subpart O
- [NAA designator].N-O.xxx for JTSO Authorisation issued under JAR-21 Subpart N-O (Import)
4.3.6 The publication reflects the JTSO Authorisations granted at the date of website update, as far as CJAA has been made aware of. |
| 4.3.7 |

Introduction
The Changed Product Rule Continuous Improvement Team is a three authority team (JAA-EASA/FAA/TCCA) created at the initiative of FAA mid 2003. The team was tasked to perform monitoring of the first two years of implementation of the CPR.
The outcome of the team, due by end 2005 will be a final report picturing the evolution of the CPR implementation during this initial period of two years as well as recommendations for future initiatives.
The CPR is the new approach (top-down) to determine the certification basis of changes related to type certificates (by TC holder and STCs).
Since very often these changes are validated, an acceptable certification basis for the change makes the validation process considerably smoother and saves time and effort for both the applicant and authorities.
The Agency, now playing the role of certification authority for the twenty five EU Member States, has to validate a considerable number of STCs, including those from TCCA and specially from FAA. The early identification of areas of concern, misunderstandings or diverging interpretation will benefit all three parties.
The CPR CIT held its kick off meeting on 15 September 2003, shortly before the entry into operation of the Agency (28 September). At that time the JAA was the only existing organisation representing the European side available to join the initiative. After the entry into operation of the Agency and the gradual development of its structure and staff (currently an ongoing process), the JAA members of the team continued to represent both the EU and non-EU members of the JAA and the reference was changed to EASA-JAA instead of JAA.
With the development of the Agency's Quality and Standardisation Directorate, the CPR-CIT has been taken over directly by the Agency. The implementation of the CPR in general is under the responsibility of the Certification Directorate.
The outcome of the team activity will be a final report, due end 2005 including recommendations for all three authorities. The team is not involved in the certification process and does not make any decisions directly.
In November 2004, the CPR CIT, in order to make its work more visible specifically for the industry, produced an interim report that was first circulated to the management of all three parties and then with their agreement to the industry. |
