This Turkish regulation, published on 18 February 2026 in the Official Gazette No. 33172, amends Article 5(2) of the original 2024 ECM Certificate Communiqué. The change requires that the specific maintenance activities an organization can perform under the maintenance provision function must now be explicitly described in the audit report. The audit report must also state that the organization's technical capacity has been evaluated and is documented in the '6. Additional Information' section of the ECM certificate or the '7. Additional Information' section of the maintenance function certificate. All existing ECM and maintenance function certificates must be updated accordingly during their next scheduled intermediate audit.
