Introduction of EU rules
The Basic Regulation EC1592/2002 (later replaced by EC216/2008):
Created EASA. Established EU requirements for airworthiness, which were of mandatory compliance for all Member States (superseded the national rules).
As a consequence, Implementing Rules were created to cover airworthiness, in particular: Initial Airworthiness (EC1702/2003): Part-21 for Product Certification, certification of Design and Production organisations, issuance of Certificates of Airworthiness, etc. Certification Specifications (CSs) for product certification Continuing Airworthiness (EC2042/2003): Part-M/-145/66/-147.
