Inspection and Identification.
Any locally fabricated part should be subject to an inspection stage before, sepa-rately, and preferably independently from, any inspection of its installation. The inspection should establish full compliance with the relevant manufacturing data, and the part should be unambiguously identified as fit for use by stating conformity to the approved data. Adequate records should be maintained of all such fabrication processes including heat treatment and the final inspections. All parts, excepting those with inadequate space, should carry a part number which clearly relates it to the manufacturing/inspection data. Additional to the part number the approved maintenance organisation’s identity should be marked on the part for traceability purposes.
AMC M.A.604 Maintenance organisation manual
1.
Appendix IV to this AMC provides an outline of the format of an acceptable maintenance organisation manual for a small organisation with less than 10 maintenance staff.
2.
The maintenance organisation exposition as specified in Part-145 provides an outline of the format of an acceptable maintenance organisation manual for larger organisa-tions with more than 10 maintenance staff, dependent upon the complexity of the organisation.

AMC M.A.605 (a) Facilities
1. Where a hangar is not owned by the M.A. Subpart F organisation, it may be neces-sary to establish proof of tenancy. In addition, sufficiency of hangar space to carry out planned maintenance should be demonstrated by the preparation of a projected aircraft hangar visit plan relative to the aircraft maintenance programme. The aircraft hangar visit plan should be updated on a regular basis.
For balloons and airships a hangar may not be required where maintenance of the envelope and bottom end equipment can more appropriately be performed out-side, providing all necessary maintenance can be accomplished in accordance with
M.A.402. For complex repairs or component maintenance requiring an EASA Form 1, suitable approved workshops should be provided. The facilities and environmen-tal conditions required for inspection and maintenance should be defined in the Maintenance Organisation Manual
2.
Protection from the weather elements relates to the normal prevailing local weather elements that are expected throughout any twelve-month period. Aircraft hangar and aircraft component workshop structures should be to a standard that prevents the ingress of rain, hail, ice, snow, wind and dust etc. Aircraft hangar and aircraft component workshop floors should be sealed to minimise dust generation.
3.
Aircraft maintenance staff should be provided with an area where they may study maintenance instructions and complete continuing airworthiness records in a proper manner.
AMC M.A.605 (b) Facilities
It is acceptable to combine any or all of the office accommodation requirements into one office subject to the staff having sufficient room to carry out assigned tasks.
AMC M.A.605 (c) Facilities
1.
Storage facilities for serviceable aircraft components should be clean, well-ventilated and maintained at an even dry temperature to minimise the effects of condensation. Manufacturer’s storage recommendations should be followed for those aircraft com-ponents identified in such published recommendations.
2.
Adequate storage racks should be provided and strong enough to hold aircraft com-ponents and provide sufficient support for large aircraft components such that the component is not damaged during storage.
3.
All aircraft components, wherever practicable, should remain packaged in their protective material to minimise damage and corrosion during storage. A shelf life control system should be utilised and identity tags used to identify components.
