(How do we Dec are a Chemical Oxygen Generator which was never used?)
Q.
UN 3356 Chemical Oxygen Generator was installed on an aircraft but was never used. The aircraft underwent an interior change, and the Chemical Oxygen Generator was removed. Will this Chemical Oxygen Generator fall under SP A111 as ?gused?h and therefore will be restricted from air transport?  (30 Sep 10)
A.
?gUsed?h means it has been actually activated as a Chemical Oxygen Generator.

?gInstalled?h does not equate to ?gUsed?h. If an Oxygen Generator is installed on the aircraft and removed after never being used, it is as if it is ?gnew?h and does not fall under the definition of sp A111. A carrier May request a written statement from its Maintenance Department that it has never been activated.
