The Part 21 EAR book is divided into two main sections.

The introductory section provides general information on the EAR book (e.g. EAR revisions, the tables of the incorporated amendments). The table of contents reflects the content of the EAR book. It is not the officially published table of contents of Annex I (Part 21).

The consolidated regulatory material section contains:

—      the cover regulation (EU) No 748/2012 with the articles;

—      the transitional provisions from regulations amending Regulation (EU) No 748/2012;

—      the points of and appendices to Annex I (Part 21) of Regulation (EU) No 748/2012;

—      the related acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material (GM).

All elements of the regulatory material are colour-coded and can be identified according to the illustration below. The Commission regulation or EASA Executive Director (ED) decision through which the element was introduced or last amended is indicated below the element title(s) in italics.

Note: Regulatory material that becomes applicable after the publication of the EAR book is marked with a different colour and with the respective applicability date.

This EAR book will be updated regularly to incorporate further amendments.

The format of this EAR book has been adjusted to make it user-friendly and for reference purposes. Any comments should be sent to erules [at] easa.europa.eu.
