Subpart A – General

JAR 21.1. Applicability

This JAR-21 prescribes: Procedural requirements for the issue of Type Certificates and changes to those certificates; the issue of standard Certificates of Airworthiness; and the issue of export airworthiness approvals. Procedural requirements for the approval of certain parts and appliances. Procedural requirements for the approval of organisations for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (a) (1) (i) and (ii) of this paragraph. Rules governing the holders of any certificate or approval specified in sub-paragraphs (a) (1) (i) to (iii) of this paragraph. Except as otherwise specified, where this JAR-21 refers to a certificate or approval, it means certificates/approvals for which application has been made after JAR-21 has become effective, or according to sub-paragraph (a) (3) of this paragraph. However: Subparts F, G and H may also be used for production of products, parts or appliances, the design of which has been approved other than according to JAR-21. Subparts JA and JB may also be used for design of products, parts or appliances, or changes thereof, approved other than according to JAR-21. In such a case, the Type Certificate means the type certificate or equivalent that has been issued by a National Authority, and the Certificate of Airworthiness is a Certificate of Airworthiness issued by the same Authority. Certificates and approvals may be issued in accordance with the requirements in sub-paragraphs (a) (1) (i) to (iv) of this paragraph, for products which are listed in Appendix D to this JAR-21, List 1 or 2. These are products for which: the original application for type certification has been made before the 1 January 1995, and a commonly agreed type certification basis has been defined.

This JAR-21 becomes effective on 1 January 1995, except as otherwise stated in Subpart N and JAR 21.115 (a), 21.301 (b), 21.321 (b), 21.601 (b), and 21.701 (b). Where a specific applicability date is fixed for a Subpart, the Authority may agree to use it, on request of an applicant, before this applicability date. On and after 1 January 1998, no person may issue a Statement of Conformity or an Authorised Release Certificate (JAA Form One) under this JAR-21 for a new product, other than in accordance with Subpart F or G. On and after 1 June 1999, no person may issue an Authorised Release Certificate (JAA Form One) under this JAR-21 for a new part or appliance, other than in accordance with Subpart F or G. As long as a Subpart of this JAR-21 is not effective, the relevant national procedures remain applicable and also the existing conditions for acceptance and recognitions between authorities.

The definitions and requirements in all Subparts of JAR-21 except Subpart H and Subpart N, apply only to products, parts and appliances, for which application for first Type Certification or approval is or has been made to a JAA Authority, and to the approval of changes to [,and repairs on,] any product, part or appliance for which a JAA Authority has issued a type certificate or approval, when such changes are designed by a person located in a JAA country. (See ACJ 21.1 (c).) The definitions and requirements in Subpart H of JAR-21 apply to the issue of certificates of airworthiness to aircraft. The definitions and requirements in Subpart N of JAR-21 apply to imported products, parts and appliances first type certificated or approved by a non-JAA Authority and to the approval of changes to any product, part and appliance when such changes are designed by a person located in a non-JAA country.

(d) The actions and obligations required to be undertaken by the holder of, or applicant for, a certificate or approval for a product, part or appliance under JAR-21 may be undertaken on his behalf by another person, provided the holder of, or applicant for, that certificate or approval can show that he has made arrangements between himself and the other person such as to ensure that the holder's responsibilities are and will be properly discharged.

The Applicant has submitted information regarding the procedures for coordination with those facilities, including the relationship between the applicant and the foreign facility; and These procedures and relationships are acceptable to the Authority to enable it to make all the inspections and tests necessary to find compliance with the applicable JAR-21 requirements.

Exceptions are detailed in sub-paragraphs (b) and (c).

A change that the Authority finds not to be significant. In determining whether a specific change is significant, the Authority considers the change in context with all previous relevant design changes and all related revisions to the applicable requirements incorporated in the Type Certificate for the product. Changes that meet one of the following criteria are automatically considered significant: The general configuration or the principles of construction are not retained. The assumptions used for certification of the product to be changed do not remain valid. Each area, system, part or appliance that the Authority finds is not affected by the change. Each area, system, part or appliance that is affected by the change, for which the Authority finds that compliance with a requirement described in sub-paragraph (a) would not contribute materially to the level of safety of the changed product or would be impractical.

(c) An applicant for a change to an aircraft (other than a rotorcraft) of 2.722 kg (6.000 lbs.) or less maximum weight or to a non-turbine rotorcraft of 1.361 kg (3.000 lbs.) or less maximum weight may show that the changed product complies with the requirements incorporated by reference in the Type Certificate. However, if the Authority finds that the change is significant in an area, the Authority may designate compliance with an amendment to the requirements incorporated by reference in the Type Certificate, in effect at the date of the application, and any requirement that the Authority finds is directly related, unless the Authority also finds that compliance with that amendment or requirement would not contribute materially to the level of safety of the changed product or would be impractical.

(d) If the Authority finds that the requirements in effect at the date of the application for the change do not provide adequate standards with respect to the proposed change, the applicant must also comply with any special conditions, and amendments to those special conditions, prescribed under the provisions of JAR 21.16, to provide a level of safety equivalent to that established in the requirements in effect at the date of the application for the change.

File a new application for a change to the Type Certificate and comply with all the provisions of sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph applicable to an original application for a change ; or File for an extension of the original application and comply with the provisions of sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph for an effective date of application, to be selected by the applicant, not earlier than the date which precedes the date of approval of the change by the time period established under this sub-paragraph (e) for the original application for the change.
