In order for goods to benefit from the suspension laid down in Article 1, the declarant shall make an authorised release certificate EASA Form 1, as set out in Appendix I to Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, or an equivalent certificate, available to the customs authorities when lodging the customs declaration for release for free circulation. The certificate shall be made available using electronic data-processing techniques or other means.

The customs declaration for release for free circulation shall contain a reference to the identification number of the authorised release certificate or, in the case of the repair or maintenance of goods that have lost their airworthiness status, to the identification number of a previous authorised release certificate.

The Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, establish a list of certificates which are deemed to be equivalent to the authorised release certificate EASA Form 1. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 4(2).
