1. 2
For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that
classification of an aircraft part as either critical or non-critical
is supported by a failure mode and effects assessment.
Effects assessment shall include at least the following:
(a) :ftbRjrywt.-lb
a qualitative assessment of failure modes and effects , in
which the part criticality will be noted and the following
will be considered:

( c ) the assessment of the effect on the product, affected by
installation of the p訂t， and its performance if the next
higher assembly fails.
If, by virtue of the above assessment, an unsafe condition is
found in respect of an aircraft pa此， such 戶口 will amount to a
