7. 7 NPA 2008-03 (Task 66.022) The B1.2 licence automatically includes the "B3" licence.
"B3" licence holders can not qualify for a category C licence.
The "B3" licence can be upgraded to a B1.2 licence.
The "ELA" licence can not be upgraded to B3 or B1.2.
The privileges associated with the “B3” and “ELA” licences are limited to structure, powerplant and mechanical and electrical systems. They will also include work on avionic systems requiring simple tests.
The "B3" licence may be used in Commercial and Non-Commercial Air Transport (by Part-145, Subpart-F organisations and independent certifying staff). However, the “ELA” licence can not be used in Part-145 organisations.
Not the intention to create a specific licence similar to a B2 for light aircraft.

No conversion provisions for "B3" and "ELA" licences.
For sailplanes, powered sailplanes, balloons and those airships covered by the "ELA" licence, there will be a 5 year period where certifying staff can still be qualified in accordance with national rules.
For those airships not covered by the "ELA" licence, national rules continue to apply.
