ICAO ANNEX 16 VOL II AMD 8 PDF

Applicability

The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all turbojet and turbofan engines, as further specified in 2.2 and 2.3, intended for propulsion only at subsonic speeds, except when certificating authorities make exemptions for:

a) specific engine types and derivative versions of such engines for which the type certificate of the first basic type was issued or other equivalent prescribed procedure was carried out before 1 January 1965; and

b) a limited number of engines over a specific period of time beyond the dates of applicability specified in 2.2 and 2.3 for the manufacture of the individual engine.

In such cases, an exemption document shall be issued by the certificating authority, the identification plates on the engines shall be marked "EXEMPT NEW" or "EXEMPT SPARE" and the grant of exemption shall be noted in the permanent engine record. Exemptions shall be reported by engine serial number and made available via an official public register.

The provisions of this chapter shall also apply to engines designed for applications that otherwise would have been fulfilled by turbojet and turbofan engines.

Note.— In considering exemptions, certificating authorities should take into account the probable numbers of such engines that will be produced and their impact on the environment. When such an exemption is granted, the certificating authority should consider imposing a time limit on the production of such engines for installation on new aircraft. Further guidance on issuing exemptions is provided in the Environmental Technical Manual (Doc 9501), Volume II — Procedures for the Emissions Certification of Aircraft Engines.
