I would like to ask several questions regarding component maintenance iaw Part-145 requirement (in EU country).
Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 Article 5:
6. Until specific requirements for certifying staff for components are added to this Regulation, the requirements laid down in the national laws in force in the relevant Member State shall continue to apply, except for maintenance organizations located outside the Union where the requirements shall be approved by the Agency.
1st question: Could you provide the example or reference of your country's regulations regarding certifying staff for components qualification?
At this moment in our national regulations (Lithuania) there is only one option: to have component maintenance training on the component (copy-paste from EASA Foreign Part-145 approvals - Components, engines and APU certifying staff document):
Appropriate theoretical and practical component training from:
"For simple component, the maintenance organisation may take credit of the CC/S experience and/or a previous training on a component from the same family and same technology."
However, I have not found any explanation from EASA regarding the used terminology: 'simple component', 'take credit of the CC/S experience', and 'same family and same technology'.
So, my 2nd question: Could anyone provide a reference to such terms explanation?
My 3rd question: How to be with the component, which does not have CMM and maintained iaw AMM, SRM etc.? Could such documents be used in workshop component maintenance and what qualification should have the certifying staff for components in such a situation?
Example: pax cabin sidewall panel, ashtray, dummy windows, harness.
My 4th question: Where is it possible to get training for components maintained by generic CMM (example, A320 PSU or B737 Overhead bin)?
My 5th question: Maybe someone has an example, how self-formalization with new CMM could be used by certifying staff for components when the company introduces a new component? Personally, I see a possibility to introduce some kind of generic qualification (skills) under which the component may go through self-familiarisation. For example, such certifying staff for components already have composite, sheet metal, and several component maintenance training (several CMM) - same maintenance technology and ability to read and understand maintenance data.
My 6th question: Does anyone have experience with PMA part maintenance or how to introduce PMA part into EASA Part-145 scope?
Thanks in advance and looking forward to your reply.

Appropriate theoretical and practical component training from:
- the OEM or;
- the OEM recognized training organization or;
- an appropriately rated maintenance organisation (1321/2014 Annex I Part-M Subpart F or Annex II Part-145) provided:
- the person nominated to carry out the training can demonstrate he/she has received training to an appropriate level for the subject component;
- the person nominated to carry out the training is appropriately authorized by the maintenance organisation and is able to demonstrate a significant experience on the relevant component maintenance; o the training syllabus has been reviewed by the Engineering Manager and/or the Quality Manager;
- the component is available for practical training purpose;
"For simple component, the maintenance organisation may take credit of the CC/S experience and/or a previous training on a component from the same family and same technology."
