Pursuant to point 2(b) of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009, the definition of ‘new equipment’ depends on the date of submission of a request for type certification to the appropriate regulatory authority.\n(2)\nFor reasons of legal clarity and consistency in the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009, it is necessary to specify in the definition of ‘new equipment’ under point 2(b) of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 that for aircraft, request for type certification relates only to request for new type certification and does not cover changes to an existing type certification. This would also be in line with the concept used for halon standards by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.\n(3)\nRegulation (EC) No 1005/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(4)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
