Type Design Approval a) If the Exporting Authority certifies to the Importing Authority that the type design of an aeronautical product, including the design-related operational requirements subject to paragraph 3.2 e) below, or a change to an aeronautical product type design previously approved by the Importing Authority, complies with airworthiness and environmental criteria prescribed by the Importing Authority, the Importing Authority, in finding compliance with its own laws, regulations, standards and requirements for granting type design approval, shall give the same validity to the technical evaluations, determinations, tests and inspections made by the Exporting Authority as if it had made them itself.
Type Design Approval. (a) If the airworthiness authority of the exporting State certifies to the airworthiness authority of the importing State that the type design of a product, or a change to a product type design previously approved by the airworthiness authority of the importing state, complies with airworthiness and environmental criteria prescribed by the airworthiness authority of the importing state, the airworthiness authority of the importing State shall, in finding compliance with its own laws, regulations, standards, and requirements for granting type design approval, give the same validity to the technical evaluations, determinations, tests, and inspections made by the airworthiness authority of the exporting State as if it had made them itself, with the understanding that the certification by the airworthiness authority of the exporting State was based on an evaluation of the type design using the same certification system it would apply to products designed in its own State. The airworthiness authority of the exporting State shall assist the airworthiness authority of the importing State in developing remedies, as may become necessary, to correct any unsafe condition of the type design that may be discovered after the product type design is approved by the importing State.
