Common use of Design Certification Process Clause in Contracts

Design Certification Process. The Certificating Authority shall ensure that the Validating Authority receives all the relevant data and information, as defined in the Technical Implementation Procedures, necessary for the Validating Authority to become and remain familiar with the design and certification of the Civil Aeronautical Products that are subject to validation. The Validating Authority shall issue its type certificate for an aircraft, engine or propeller when: the Certificating Authority has issued its own certificate; the Certificating Authority certifies to the Validating Authority that the product complies with the certification basis as set out in paragraph 4.4.3; all issues raised during the validation process conducted by the Validating Authority have been resolved; and additional administrative requirements, as defined in the Technical Implementation Procedures, have been met by the applicant. In order to obtain and maintain a Validated Design Certificate as per the provisions of this Annex, the applicant shall hold and retain at the disposal of the Certificating Authority all relevant design information, drawings and test reports, including inspection records for the certified product, in order to provide the information necessary to ensure the continued airworthiness and compliance with applicable environmental protection requirements of the product. Validation and automatic acceptance processes Design Certificates that have been, or are in the process of being, issued by the Certificating Authority, are either automatically accepted or validated by the Validating Authority: For certificates subject to validation, the Validating Authority issues its own Certificate through a validation process implying a commensurate level of involvement, defined in accordance with the principles of paragraph 4.4.2 and as detailed in the Technical Implementation Procedures. For certificates subject to automatic acceptance, the Validating Authority recognises and accepts the Certificating Authority’s certificates without any technical investigation or validation exercise. In this case, the certificate issued by the Certificating Authority is recognised by the Validating Authority as equivalent to its own certificate issued in accordance with its legislation and procedures. The validating Authority does not issue its own corresponding certificate. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4.4.2, the validation process, as detailed in the Technical Implementation Procedures, shall be based to the maximum extent practicable on the technical evaluations, tests, inspections, and compliance certifications made by the other Technical Agent. The modalities of acceptance and validation of certificates are presented in paragraph 9 of this Annex (Appendix 1 – Modalities of acceptance and validation of certificates).
