An EASA145 company can generate an EASA-1 form for one of these.

The cost of doing so is the cost of the toner used to print that page out of the laser printer.

A few years ago I bought a P-clip, from a well known EASA145 aviation parts company. The clip came with a wad of oil stained papers which revealed that it kicked around various long-defunct airline stores since... wait for it.... 1968. Naturally, the P-clip was also covered by an EASA-1 form.

A funny angle on this might be whether that P-clip would be considered new or used. By aviation definition, it would be new.

In much of aviation, the king has absolutely no clothes...

An old and perfectly legal scam in aviation is to "inspect" an item and generate an EASA-1 form for it. I know a company which would do this for a propeller imported from the USA with just an 8130-3 which, being a Class 1 component (engine or prop) could not be fitted on a G-reg. They charged about £1000 for the laser printer toner This kind of thing is what props up much of aviation, and also props up the regulators who get a lot of money from these laser printer operators. It is a totally circular system.
