All such cases must be reported to the CAA within seven days after issuing such
certification authorisation. The approved maintenance organisation issuing the oneoff
certification authorisation shall ensure that any such maintenance that could affect flight
safety is rechecked.
(c) The approved maintenance organisation shall record all details concerning certifying staff
and airworthiness review staff and maintain a current list of all certifying staff and
airworthiness review staff together with their scope of approval as part of the
organisation's manual pursuant to point M.A.604(a)5.

1. Adequate understanding of the relevant aircraft and/or aircraft component(s) to be
maintained together with the associated organisation procedures means that the person
has received training and has relevant maintenance experience on the product type and
associated organisation procedures such that the person understands how the product
functions, what are the more common defects with associated consequences.
2. All prospective certifying staff are required to be assessed for competence, qualification
and capability related to intended certifying duties. Competence and capability can be
assessed by having the person work under the supervision of another certifying person for
sufficient time to arrive at a conclusion. Sufficient time could be as little as a few weeks if
the person is fully exposed to relevant work. The person need not be assessed against
the complete spectrum of intended duties. When the person has been recruited from
another approved maintenance organisation and was a certifying person in that
organisation then it is reasonable to accept a written confirmation from the previous
organisation.
3. The organisation should hold copies of all documents that attest to qualification, and to
recent experience.
