NOTES

British Airways Engineering classifies parts as Expendable (single use only) / Repairable (no serial number control) / Rotable (serial number control) / Software.

British Airways Engineering classifies tools as T ( repairable but not requiring a periodic calibration check) / RT ( repairable and not requiring a periodic calibration check )

For cabin/cargo parts proof of flammability certification is also required.

Note 1:

It must not be more than 2 years since the component was released to service unless by prior agreement (either on an ad hoc basis or under the BA supplier approval process).

We cannot accept any component that has prototype in the status/work block unless by prior agreement and it is either subject to a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) installation or there is also evidence of subsequent approval of the design data.

A release certificate with a combination of handwritten and printed completions will not be accepted unless by prior agreement (either on an ad hoc basis or under the BA supplier approval process).

Receipting stickers and stamps applied to a release certificate must not obscure any of the original text or completions.

Originals or true copies of the release certificate are equally acceptable.

A part may not be drop shipped to BA by an organisation other than to whom the PO/RO is addressed unless by prior agreement (either on an ad hoc basis or under the BA supplier approval process).

Note 2: FAA Order 8130-21

An 8130-3 dual release - EASA and FAA is required

We cannot accept any 8130-3's that have the term rebuilt in the status/work block of the release certificate as there is no equivalent term in the EASA regulations.

Note 3: EASA Part 145 (maintained)

A dual release - EASA and FAA or EASA and TCCA, or triple release EASA and FAA and TCCA is required. A single EASA release will not be accepted unless by prior agreement (either on an ad hoc basis or under the BA supplier approval process).

A Form 1 issued by a Section A, Subpart F of Annex I (Part M) approved organisation is not a Part 145 release and is not acceptable. This Form 1 is identifiable by the statement "THIS IS NOT A RELEASE UNDER ANNEX II (PART 145) TO REGULATION (EC) No 2042/2003" in the remarks box.

We will only accept an EASA Form 1 with "inspected" in the status/work block, where the part has been certified in accordance with AMC No. 2 to 145.A. 50 and is a serviceable removal from a serviceable aircraft.

Note 4: Canadian Part V Standard 571 Appendix J

A dual release - EASA and TCCA is required.

Note 5: ATA106 or Equivalent Trace Documents

Traceability (proof of change of ownership) and Certification documentation must comply with EASA 145.A.42 Acceptance of Components.

For Purchase Orders (or Repair Orders that are satisfied by an exchange):-

Parts must be traceable to either the OEM, OEM repair agency, OEM approved repair agency, BA approved repair agency or a current EASA or FAA or FAA Certificated airline unless by prior agreement (either on an ad hoc basis or under the BA supplier approval process).

There must be applicable traceability documentation that provides evidence of the traceability.

Traceability documentation proving trace to an OEM should include an OEM shipping document to the first owner and trace documentation from the first and all subsequent owners. An ATA 106 is BA's preferred trace document, but others will be accepted.

Traceability documentation proving trace to an EASA or FAA Certificated airline is to include a non accident/incident statement and trace documentation from all subsequent owners. Any part which has been in an accident/incident will not be accepted unless by prior agreement. The documentation from the airline should include either a serviceable stores tag, an unserviceable removal tag or sales document giving details of the serviceability status or reason for unserviceability.

Where the part being purchased is maintained and not new, for all mechanical parts traceable documentation must show an unbroken history from the last overhaul, unless by prior agreement. For avionic parts, or parts where there is no specified overhaul process, then traceable documentation must show an unbroken history from the last release certification made by the OEM, approved OEM repair organisation, EASA approved organisation or BA Approved Supplier. Certification must indicate that parts have been "Inspected" or "Inspected /Tested" as a minimum of work accomplished. Evidence of the maintenance undertaken is required.

For Repair Orders:-

Parts must not be contracted to another EASA Part 145 approved maintenance repair organisation unless by prior agreement (either on an ad hoc basis or under the BA supplier approval process).

Note 6: C of C

Documentation accompanying a standard part should contain a conformity statement plus the manufacturing and supplier source.

Navigational Database Software is not an aircraft part and requires a C of C and/or for the supplier to hold a Letter of Acceptance (LOA).

For RT tools a certificate of calibration is also required.
