Regular update of CS-23 — CS-23 Amendment 6 and AMC & GM to CS-23 Issue 5
The objective of this Decision is to ensure that the Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) to CS-23 reflect the latest technological developments and certification practices for normal-category aeroplanes.
Specifically, this ED Decision incorporates updated consensus standards developed by ASTM International. These standards, established through the ASTM F44 committee, provide state-of-the-art methods for demonstrating compliance with CS-23 requirements. EASA has reviewed the revised standards and, where appropriate, included them in AMC1 to CS-23.
The proposed regulatory material is intended to support global harmonisation, ensure consistency with performance-based regulations, and promote innovation by maintaining a regularly updated set of compliance means.
