6.0 C.A.S.E. AUDIT / INSPECTION STANDARDS
6.1 CASE STANDARDS DESCRIPTION
6.1.1 The purpose of CASE Standards is to provide a benchmark to assure that all
audits and reports are comparable in scope and depth. The standards are
applicable to both initial and recurrent audits.
6.1.2 The member company conducting a CASE audit shall retain the audit report in
their files until it is superseded by another CASE audit.
6.1.3 The standards are published in this chapter and each standard is numbered as a
separate publication. Each standard has a companion audit or evaluation form.
The forms are published in Chapter 7 of this manual with a unique numbering
system, ARS-XX; i.e. Aeronautical Repair Station Section - sequence number.
Each standard and it’s companion audit form are identified below.

1. GENERAL
A. This standard is intended to be a supplement to applicable FAR’s. It is not
meant to be a restatement or replacement for the FAR’s
B. This standard, in conjunction with applicable FAR’s describes the minimum
requirements for a component repair/overhaul vendor’s quality program. It is
designed to aid surveillance of a vendor who performs maintenance,
preventive maintenance or alteration on aircraft, engines, propellers, or
component parts thereof. This standard may be used to determine the
adequacy of the vendor’s quality program. [CASE]
C. Compliance with this standard does not necessarily accept a vendor for entry
into the CASE Register. Vendors that are accepted for listing in the CASE
Register must continue to meet the requirements of this standard. Vendors
listed in the CASE Register may not advertise their CASE status or use the
CASE logo. [CASE]
D. In addition to complying with this standard, all activities shall be
accomplished in accordance with applicable portions of Federal Aviation
Regulations Parts 43, 145, 121 Subpart L, 135 Subpart J, and regulations
referenced therein. [145.2, 145.53, 145.57]
E. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) may modify or rebuild parts
that he manufactures under his manufacturer’s authorization (PMA, PC, TSO
etc.), but must have a repair station certificate (or MMF) to overhaul or repair
a part they manufacture. A manufacturers maintenance facility (MMF) must
meet all the requirements of the 1A standard (regardless of the exemptions
to FAR 145) in order to be considered for update or addition to the C.A.S.E.
Register. [145.1, 43.2, 43.3]
F. Vendors are subject to a technical audit at any time during normal working
hours. The audit may be conducted by the customer or by another CASE
member. The audit may encompass the entire technical portion of the
vendor’s operation or any part thereof. Normally the auditor will notify the
vendor and arrange the audit so as to cause minimal interference with the
vendor’s operation. However, should circumstances dictate, the auditor may
arrive unannounced. [CASE]
G. An acceptable audit result does not relieve the vendor of its responsibility to
provide an acceptable product. [CASE]
H. All C.A.S.E. listed vendors shall maintain a file of CASE audit findings, and
corrective action for three years. This file shall be accessible to any CASE
authorized auditor on request. [CASE]

I. Definitions [FAR 1.1]
1. Maintenance - Means inspection, overhaul, repair, preservation, and
the replacement of parts, but excludes preventive maintenance.
2. Person - Means an individual, firm, partnership, corporation,
company, association, joint-stock association, or governmental entity.
It includes a trustee, receiver, assignee, or similar representative of
any of them.
J. Any License or certification required by Federal Aviation Regulations of any
individual, equipment, or facility shall be kept current and shall be available
for inspection. [145.39, 145.103, 145.17]
K. Vendors that deal in non-aircraft parts, materials, or maintenance activities
shall segregate the aircraft function from other functions to preclude getting
unapproved parts or materials on an aircraft unit. [145.35]
L. The vendor shall display his repair station certificate and operation
specifications at a place in the repair station that is normally accessible to
the public and is not obscured. [145.19]
M. The U.S. domestic repair stations shall have an active, FAA approved anti-
drug & alcohol testing plan that complies with FAR 121 Appendices I and J.

subscribes, or an air carrier customer’s plan. The vendor shall provide proof
of membership in the plan and FAA acceptance of the plan. Letters of
acceptance or exemption must be from the Drug Abatement Branch Office of
Aviation Medicine, Washington, DC not from regional offices.
NOTE: This requirement does not apply to foreign repair stations.
N. All programs (e.g. shelf life, technical data, etc.) that require a person, by
title, to be responsible for the effectiveness of the program must have a
back-up person to ensure the programs continuity during the primary
persons absence [CASE]
O. Each certificate holder (or person performing maintenance or preventive
maintenance functions for it) shall relieve each person performing such work
from duty for a period of at least twenty-four consecutive hours during any
