Installed EFBs are covered by aircraft airworthiness approval
AMC 20-25: EFBs - Software
• Malfunction or misuse have no safety effect
Type A
• Malfunction or misuse is limited to minor failure condition• Does not substitute nor duplicate any system or functionality required by
airworthiness regulation, airspace requirements, or operational rule
Type B
• Non-EFB applications, supporting function(s) not directly related to operations conducted by the flight crew on the aircraft.

IR related to EFB in Part-CAT
CAT.GEN.MPA.140 Portable electronic devices
• The operator shall not permit any person to use a portable electronic device (PED) on board an aircraft that could adversely affect the performance of the aircraft’s systems and equipment, and shall take all reasonable measures to prevent such use.
CAT.POL.MAB.105 Mass and balance data and documentation
• (e) The operator shall obtain approval by the competent authority if he/she wishes to use an on-board integrated mass and balance computer system or a stand-alone computerised mass and balance system as a primary source for dispatch. The operator shall demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of that system.
EFB operational approval
Except for mass and balance applications, no requirement yet for an operational approval included in European OPS rules.
An IR is needed to mandate an operational approval, this can’t be done at an AMC level.
ICAO EFB SARPs about to be published.
A new rulemaking task will be initiated to transpose ICAO EFB SARPs

Task:
• EFB SARPs for ICAO Annexe 6 Part I, II and III
• ICAO EFB manual (Doc 10020*)
Members:
• FAA, EASA, IATA, BOEING, AIRBUS, IFALPA
Status of the work:

HardwareWhere portable EFBs are used on-board the operator shall ensure that they do not affect the performance of the aeroplane systems, equipment or the ability to operate the aeroplane.
SoftwareThe State of the Operator shall approve the operational use of EFB functions when an EFB is used for the safe operation of the aeroplane.
+ OPS SPEC entry
An operational approval will not be required for all EFB applications
Further guidance will be available in ICAO EFB manual Criteria to determine such application
Dependant on the mitigations established by the operator
