Replacement and Modification Parts: ``Standard'' Parts; Interpretation

The FAA is notifying the public that the interpretation of an acceptable U.S. government or Industry accepted specification may include specifications that may be limited to detailed performance criteria, complete testing procedures, and uniform marking criteria. Manufacturers of parts that conform to such specifications are excepted as ``standard parts'' from the requirement to obtain FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval. The FAA is aware that specifications meeting the above criteria exist for discrete electric or electrical component parts.
