Removal QEC kit from engine
Dear All,
I would like to ask you for help.
Could you please express your opionion how to receive EASA approval for removing of QEC Kit from engine V2500 and after inspection recertify the full kit?
I am working for the company which has A1 approval for A320 (V2500 engines) and B1 category only for installation of QEC Kit. We would like to extend our approval for the following activity:
After removal of engine (with QEC) done by our maintenance team, we would like to tear down engine (before "overhaul visit" ) means separate the QEC Kit and certify the QEC Kit. The aim is to install the Kit on diffrent bare engine.
My question is: Is it allowed to issue EASA Form 1 for all QEC Kit. If the Kit which need to be recertify was not bought (swapping process during engine change) can we give Part No. for the Kit, what about Serial No.? Is it also required?
Is anybody experienced in process of QEC Kit maintenance?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for input.
However we are one of the PART 145 maintenance organisations which maintain the aircrafts for one Operator and in case QEC need to be used by different MRO for the same Operator they can refuse to use the parts only with serviceable tags.
If anybody has an idea how to establish the process to issue EASA Form whole QEC please help

Let me get this straight.
You are an MRO. You remove an engine from an a/c.
You remove the QEC kit from said engine.
Another MRO fits an engine to another a/c (owned by the same operator)
You want to make that QEC kit available to the other MRO?
What is fitted to the a/c that had the engine change? Is that a complete powerplant? Or are we on a merry go round with QEC kits rotating through various MROs?
Just curious because in my (admittedly, limited) experience, when one changes an engine it's just a case of a quick swap of components (QEC kit) from the u/s engine to the new servicable one.

@TURIN,
My company keeps entire engines (QEC an' all) built up to minimise AOG time during engine changes.
@Davor,
We also issue FORM 1s to removed components, with a statement in Block 12 detailing that the component may only be fitted to the same operators A/C that it was removed from (regardless of the MRO removing/fitting the component).
A representative from the operator can certify removed components as serviceable.
