Identification of issue
EASA has received an application for a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) covering the installation of a Passenger Rest Compartment (PRC). The PRC is a main deck sleeping compartment intended solely for inflight passenger use. It consists of a series of berths/bunks, passenger amenities and the required safety systems. For its initial installation, however, the PRC will not be approved for occupancy, and no passengers, cargo or passenger baggage within the PRC will be permitted to be placed or transported inside of it. Due to the PRC unique design, the current CS-25 certification specifications do not provide adequate or appropriate safety standards for the certification of this passenger compartment. Therefore, in accordance with paragraphs 21.A.101(d) and 21.B.75 of Annex Part 21 to Regulation (EU) No 748/20212 , Special Conditions are required for the certification of the unoccupied PRC installation.
