Certification Review Item
CRISection 01: Organizations & Authorities
Definition
A formal document used by EASA during a certification project to define, discuss, and resolve specific certification issues. CRIs serve multiple purposes: they may propose special conditions, establish interpretive material, document means of compliance agreements, or address specific technical issues that arise during the certification process. CRIs are the EASA counterpart to FAA Issue Papers and are a primary mechanism for communication between EASA and the applicant on certification matters.
Where This Shows Up
CRIs are categorized by type (e.g., Special Condition CRI, Equivalent Safety Finding CRI, Interpretive Material CRI, Means of Compliance CRI). They represent the formal dialogue between EASA and the applicant on how to meet the certification basis.
