EASA was informed by the Civil Aviation Authority of the United Kingdom (CAA UK) that they had received an EASA Form 1, identified as being from Global Aviation Services (GAS) Manufacturing Ltd, dated 21 October 2013. The EASA Form 1 was associated with 100 galley waste carts, Part Number (P/N) TH0003-A01, serial numbers TH003702-TH003801, based upon approved design data from EGRET AVIATION.
Since 09 February 2011, the production Organisation Approval (POA) No. UK.21G2595 originally held by GAS Manufacturing Ltd, was no longer legally valid.
As such, any part released to service on an EASA Form 1 issued by GAS Manufacturing Ltd. after 09 February 2011 must be considered as unapproved and not eligible for installation on any aircraft.
Furthermore, EGRET AVIATION does not hold a valid EASA design approval for the suspect carts, nor for any other galley catering cart or equipment.
At this time, the safety concern described in this SIB is not considered to be an unsafe condition that would warrant Airworthiness Directive (AD) action under EU 748/2012, Part 21.A.3B.
