ACCESS TO APPLICABLE DESIGN DATA
(a)If the declarant of a declaration of design compliance and the natural or legal person that plans to issue the statement of conformity or the authorised release certificate are the same entity, then access to the relevant design data is considered to have been granted without any need for a formal arrangement or contract.
(b)If the declarant of a declaration of design compliance and the natural or legal person that plans to issue the statement of conformity or the authorised release certificate are different entities, then access to the relevant design data should be formalised. This can be achieved by establishing a contract or arrangement between the two entities in which the declarant of a declaration of design compliance identifies the applicable design data and commits to transfer (or otherwise ensure access to) this data to the natural or legal person that plans to issue the statement of conformity or the authorised release certificate. Note 1: The applicable design data is that identified according to point 21L.A.46 for the respective aircraft, engine, propeller, or part thereof. Note 2: To formalise the access to applicable design data, the two entities may use GM1 21L.A.122(c) as guidance, customised to their specific needs.
