PMAs

Materials

Any material may be used providing:

Manufacturer ensures material
is suitable for particular
application and meets ESRs for
material
Provide evidence of compliance
with allowable specification, i.e.
Harm Std, EAM, PMA
No set format for documentation.

If specific quantitative
requirements not met,
justification required
(equivalent overall
level of safety?)
Notified Body performs
particular appraisal for
equipment in Cats III & IV

Decisions made concerning one material

do not have to repeated
