CAAS signs maintenance agreement with Civil Aviation Administration of China:
23 August 2019: The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) concluded a milestone Technical Arrangement on Aviation Maintenance (TA-AM).
The aviation maintenance agreement is the first bilateral agreement that CAAC has signed with any civil aviation authority.
CAAS has done similar arrangements with Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority, Hong Kong China's Civil Aviation Department, Transport Canada Civil Aviation and the US Federal Aviation Administration. It gives mutual recognition of certification and surveillance of approved Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organisations located in Singapore and China.
Currently, 43 MROs in Singapore have China Civil Aviation Regulation (CCAR) 145 maintenance organisation certificates from CAAC, which allows them to carry out maintenance on aircraft and components fitted onto aircraft registered in China.
These MROs consist of airlines' engineering arms and maintenance units authorised by manufacturers. In China, 26 MROs, including engine and aircraft parts repair workshops hold Singapore Airworthiness Requirements (SAR) 145 Maintenance Organisation Approvals from CAAS, which allow them to carry out maintenance on aircraft and components intended for fitment onto aircraft registered in Singapore. According to the agreement, participating MROs would only be audited by local authorities.
