SAFA Ramp Inspection ProceduresGuidance materialInspectionItem Inspections Item TitleInspecting InstructionsA08 Certificate of Registration Check for presence and accuracy. In the case where only a photocopy is on board a finding should be made against “No valid CofR orcannot be shown by crew”.Check if its format and content are in accordance with the requirements and whether translated into the English language.Check for fireproof identification plate (usually near the left forward door). Compare the data on the plate with that on the C of R.Note: Annex 7 requires that a fireproof plate needs to be installed near the main entrance. It is often found that the plate is locatedsomewhere else on the aircraft. Although it is not compliant to the requirements, the safety relevance is rather low and therefore nofinding should be raised.Note: Although ICAO does not specifically allow to carry other than the original of the document, it is considered acceptable if a copycertified by the issuing authority is carried on board.Note: If the CofR was not found on board during the inspection, the Category 2 PDF reflecting this shall be used. However, if during thefollow-up process the appropriate evidence is received that a valid document was issued at the time of the inspection, the findingshould be downgraded to the Category 1 finding created for this purpose (see Chapter 4.3 above).InspectionItemStd.
