Selecting MCR for modification – An overview

In this page, you can select a modification document or MCR to modify its details. If you know the MCR number, you can directly enter it. Otherwise, you can carry out a search based on the MCR number, source document type, source, user status, applicability of the MCR and the name of the manufacturer. Details such as the MCR number, subject, revision number, source document type, source, MCR class, ATA chapter number and code of the regulatory authority are displayed.

This page also allows you to confirm or cancel an MCR, which is in “Fresh” status.
