Having a bit of a hard time with some policy changing from my national aviation authority, just hope that someone on this platform could shed some light on that.

Regarding Duplicate Inspection, my NAA decides to phase out Duplicate Inspection and replace that with Independent Inspection to align with the requirement in EASA. The question, for Duplicate Inspection, it is intended to cover two categories of area, vital point and control system. But for Independent Inspection, the only reference to Part 145 requirement is in AMC 145.48, but it does not mention anything of these two, instead, it is introduced as an acceptable way of so-called error capturing method for all the (safety) critical maintenance task.

So my question is, how would you cover the scope of duplicate inspection with the newly introduced Independent Inspection? Secondly, does anyone here know the origin of Duplicate Inspection, i need to do some digging on that.
