No - it's EASA specific for ELA1 aircraft (so far...)

Hi Jan. SDMP is self-declared maintenance programme, which if you have an EASA aircraft that is non-complex and under 1200kg, you should have created by now. That's an ELA1 aircraft by definition. You can create it using manufacturers maintenance docs, or you can conform by using the EASA MIP - minimum inspection programme. There are templates for this - and you then have to add additional items that are needed such as ADS etc and lifed components. It transfers the responsibility to the aircraft owner, but still requires licensed engineers to do most of the work and sign it off each year.

No doubt the heavier ELA2 aircraft will be next.....
