# 24 June 2019 - Revision of the ULM decree
Following the publication of the new European Basic Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, the French decree on ULMs has been revised to extend certain limits of mass and power.
ATTENTION : tous les formulaires ont été mis à jour : veiller à bien utiliser la dernière version des formulaires.
Application for an identification fiche
The application shall include :
1/ the identification fiche application form
2/ the description of the ULM
Note: the manufacturer can choose to use the services of a representative / subcontractor in order to assist him in the procedures concerning the ULM.
However, except in the case where this representative acts only as an intermediary between the French authorities and the ULM manufacturer but does not produce, adapt or sign any document in the name of the manufacturer, a mandate shall be provided, in which the manufacturer identifies the precise level of delegation to his representative, and acknowledges that he is accountable for the actions of the representative.
However the forms mentioned at above points 1/ and 2/ shall be signed by the manufacturer itself, who cannot delegate the authority to sign these forms to a representative.
3/ proof of compliance with the applicable technical conditions (structural resistance, flight test report, compliance with additional technical conditions, noise test report *)
* except for class 1
4/ the user and maintenance manuals, in French
5/ a weighing report * indicating any differences between the weighed configuration and the reference configuration
* except for class 1
6/ a proof of payment of the 100 € fee, made by telepayment on the website of the surveillance and certification fees or, using the form below, by another method of payment (see below)
