  3. The certificate of conformity set out in condition 2 shall indicate the aeronautical product(s) for which it is eligible.
  4. If the certificate of conformity is issued by a person other than the FAA PMA holder, the certificate shall indicate that the production approval holder has authorized direct shipment.
