General

This annex contains additional information concerning the manufacture of split pins outside Germany.

Owing to varying acceptance procedures, production methods, materials etc., the details given in this standard for split pins are not always sufficient for manufacture abroad. for instance, materials are used abroad which may well ensure the required characteristics for the standard part in its final state, but which are not listed as equivalent materials in the relevant material specification in the German Aviation Materials manual, Part I.

The foreign materials listed in clause A.2 are recognized as equivalent to the respective German material by the competent qualification authorities of the various countries.

Any difference in appearance, due to different manufacturing processes, has no influence on the performance and inter-changeability provided the dimensions given in the table are adhered to.
