Point 145.A.80 (Limitations on the organisation) was deleted from Annex II (Part-145) by Regulation (EU) 2021/1963 and is no longer an active requirement. Its regulatory substance has been consolidated into 145.A.75 (Privileges of the organisation) and the terms of approval under 145.A.20 — please refer to the 145.A.75 page linked below for the current rule.
Status of this clause
This page is retained for reference because 145.A.80 appears in older Maintenance Organisation Expositions, training material, and audit checklists. In the current consolidated text of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/1963, point 145.A.80 has been deleted. There is no longer a standalone 'limitations' clause in Section A of Part-145.
The boundary-setting function the clause used to perform has not disappeared. It is now expressed through 145.A.75, which defines the privileges of the organisation (including the restriction that subcontracted work must remain within the management system and that base maintenance checks and complete engine or engine-module overhauls may not be subcontracted to unapproved organisations), through the terms of approval under 145.A.20, and through the change-control requirements of 145.A.85.
What you should do
If your MOE, procedures, or compliance checklists still cite 145.A.80, update them to reference 145.A.75 and 145.A.20. For the current statement of what your organisation may and may not do under its approval, consult the 145.A.75 — Privileges of the organisation page in the related sections below, together with your approval certificate (EASA Form 3) and the scope of work in your MOE.
