Foreign Repair Station D&A Compliance Toolkit
This members-only resource provides basic compliance information regarding the FAA’s expansion of U.S. drug and alcohol (D&A) testing requirements outside the United States. ARSA’s Foreign Repair Station D&A Compliance Toolkit includes:
♦ A matrix for cross-referencing the testing requirements of 14 CFR part 120 with the laws of the country in which the repair station is located.
♦ A matrix for cross-reference of the testing procedures and requirements of 49 CFR part 40 with the laws of the country in which the repair station is located.
♦ Draft documents and guidance for repair stations and/or international governments to seek exemptions/waivers from the rules based on the home jurisdiction’s laws.
Having done a substantial portion of the work, ARSA requests involvement from the industry that bears ultimate responsibility for compliance. After requesting the current toolkit (form below), perform the following activities:
(1) Complete the cross-reference matrices for each of the countries in which the company has or will have FAA-certificated repair stations, placing different countries on separate sheets in the excel workbooks.
(2) Provide feedback to the association regarding the tools.
After submitting the order form (below), the ARSA team will validate membership and communicate regarding document access.
