Form 1's and FAA 8130-3's
What's the legal eagle speak for accepting these? I've come to believe that any component that has either of these is perfectly acceptable (along with an S tag) to be fitted to a UK registered aircraft.
A colleague of mine believes that the FAA form is not acceptable and there needs to be a Form 1 before fitment can take place.
Is there anywhere it's laid down outside company procedures which is acceptable and which is not? (ie CAA or EASA regs).
Also, where is the critieria for raising Form 1's to be found. I've scoured the EASA site but no joy as it hasn't improved much and is still a nightmare to navigate.

Fargo, if the 8130 has an EASA statement on it from an EASA approved company in the states then it is ok to use it, the CAA have been picking organisations up that don't have the relevant box ( think it's 10 ) ticked with the EASA CRS statement on an 8130.
As for form 1 criteria, part 145 I think or part 21.

From EASA Part 21
21A.307 Release of parts and appliances for installation
No part or appliance (except a standard part), shall be eligible for installation in a type-certificated product unless it is:
(a) Accompanied by an authorised release certificate (EASA Form 1), certifying airworthiness; and
(b) Marked in accordance with Subpart Q.
(a) Accompanied by an authorised release certificate (EASA Form 1), certifying airworthiness; and
(b) Marked in accordance with Subpart Q.
GM 21A.307
Release of Parts and Appliances for Installation
Release of Parts and Appliances for Installation
“Authorised release certificate certifying airworthiness for a new part or appliance” means certifying
that the part or appliance conforms with the approved design data and is in condition for safe
operation.
that the part or appliance conforms with the approved design data and is in condition for safe
operation.
This doesn't mention the FAA 8130-3, but the EASA-FAA Bi-lateral allows use of an 8130-3 when correctly certified in box 13 by a repair station holding EASA approval.
