ANNEX III Essential requirements for environmental compatibility related to products 1. Products must be designed to minimise noise as far as possible taking into account point 4. 2. Products must be designed to minimise emissions as far as possible taking into account point 4. 3. Products must be designed to minimise the emissions arising from the evaporation or discharge of fluids, taking into account point 4. 4. Any trade-offs between design measures intended to minimise noise, the emission of different species and the discharge of fluids must be taken into account. 5. The total range of normal operating conditions and geographical areas where the aircraft noise and emissions are of concern, shall be considered when minimising noise and emissions. 6. The aircraft systems and equipment required for environmental protection reasons must be designed, produced and maintained to function as intended under any foreseeable operating condition. Their reliability must be adequate in relation to their intended effect on the environmental compatibility of the product. 7. Any instructions, procedures, means, manuals, limitations and inspections needed to ensure continuing compliance of an aviation product with the essential requirements set out in this Annex must be established and provided to the intended users in a clear manner. 8. The organisations involved in the design, production and maintenance of aviation products must: (a) have all means necessary to ensure compliance of an aviation product with the essential requirements set out in this Annex; and (b) establish arrangements with other relevant organisations as necessary to ensure compliance of an aviation product with the essential requirements set out in this Annex.
