Customs and aviation buyers treat EASA Form 1 as primary evidence that a component left an approved environment with correct technical status. Without a valid Form 1, parts can be refused entry or blocked from installation.
For AOG and MRO lines, a missing or inconsistent Form 1 forces manual trace reviews, broker escalations, and sometimes re-certification—directly extending aircraft downtime.
Errors in part numbers, approvals, or signatures on Form 1 create mismatches against invoices and AWBs, triggering holds even when the physical part is serviceable.
An EASA Part-145 or Part-21 organisation completes Form 1 after maintenance or production release, citing the work performed, references to approved data, and the certifying staff statement.
The Form 1 travels with the part through logistics. Declarants map Form 1 fields to customs entries (origin, description, quantities) and to internal ERP records for trace.
Downstream, operators compare Form 1 data to the Illustrated Parts Catalogue (IPC) and maintenance records before installation.
Doana ingests EASA Form 1 from email attachments or forwards and extracts identity fields—P/N, S/N, approvals, signatory blocks—in under 30 seconds per typical page with 99% precision on standard layouts.
Structured output aligns with your declaration templates and broker packets, reducing manual re-keying from Outlook inboxes.
