2.0 Section II – Amendments of the List of Common Technical Standard Orders

This list may be amended by mutual consent of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA). The amendments will be summarized in a Record of Amendment attached to this List. Such amendments shall be made effective by the signature of the Chairs of the Joint Sectorial Committee on Certification (JSCC), or their duly authorized representatives.
There may be cases where a ETSO is already adopted, or in the process of being adopted by EASA in CS-ETSO and TCCA in AWM Chapter 537 but is not yet on the Common List. If a situation warrants an interim action, EASA and TCCA may agree to recognize and adopt in writing the candidate TSO in advance of the formal inclusion to this List.

3.0 Section III — Explanation of E/TSO Revision Levels

As of Revision 1 of the Common List, some ETSOs are listed with various revision letters e.g. C90c and C90d. For purposes of granting an initial design approval, the latest revision of a standard (C90d) applies. The earlier ETSO revisions (C90c) are still accepted, but only for appliances and parts already approved and in production.

4.0 Section IV — Acceptance of Non-TSO Functions

Reciprocal acceptance of ETSO or CAN-TSO approvals is recognition that the appliance or part meets minimum performance standards that are common to EASA and TCCA. Where a ETSO appliance or part accepted under this Common List includes non-TSO functions, these functions are accepted on the basis of non-interference, meaning the non-TSO functions do not interfere with functionality of the appliance and/or its ability to comply with the minimum performance standards specified in the ETSO.

5.0 Section V — Airworthiness Approval of E/TSO Appliances or Parts

EASA and TCCA recognize that the acceptance of the ETSO or CAN-TSO appliance or part does not constitute an approval for installation or operational use of that appliance or part on the aircraft. ETSO parts and appliances, including any non-TSO functions integrated in the ETSO part or appliance must have separate approval to show compliance with the Importing Party airworthiness and/or operational requirements for installation in, or use on, an aircraft.

6.0 Section VI — Reciprocal Acceptance

When either Competent Authority grants its ETSOA or CAN-TSO design approval based on a common TSO the other Competent Authority shall automatically accept that approval as equivalent to having granted and issued its own approval. Based on this reciprocal acceptance of ETSOA or CAN-TSO design approval, neither EASA nor TCCA shall accept an application from the other for approval of a E/TSO appliance or part where such approval has already been issued under their authority.
The reciprocal acceptance of an ETSOA or a CAN-TSO design approval under the Agreement shall be based on the following conditions:
1. the appliance meets the common TSO, as evidenced by a statement or declaration of conformity by the ETSOA or the CAN-TSO design approval holder;
2. if applicable, deviations or exemptions from the common TSO are substantiated and have been approved by the Exporting Party in conformity with the requirements of its regulatory system;
3. the Exporting Party has determined compliance and as a result issued its own ETSOA or CAN-TSO approval, in accordance with its regulations;
4. the Exporting Party issuing the ETSOA or CAN-TSO approval exercises continued safety oversight functions for those TSO products; and
5. any additional conditions defined in Appendix C4.2 of the Technical Implementation Procedures (TIP).
Each Competent Authority shall apply, without further investigation, the reciprocal acceptance of an ETSOA or a CAN-TSO design approval, unless the conditions for reciprocal acceptance are no longer valid.
Where reciprocal acceptance of an ETSOA or CAN-TSO design approval is not possible, that appliance shall be subject to the application and validation requirements set out in Appendix C4.0 of the TIP.

7.0 Authority

The Joint Sectorial Committee on Certification approves this List of Common Technical Standard Orders, as indicated by the signatures of its duly authorized representatives.
