Moscow. February 8. INTERFAX-The Russian PD-14 engine, which will be equipped with MS-21 aircraft, has passed the certification of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) on compliance with the requirements for emissions of harmful substances.
The corresponding addition to the PD-14 type certificate was received by the developer company JSC UEC-Aviadvigatel, the press service of the United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of Rostec) reported.
PD-14 was first certified by the Federal Air Transport Agency in 2018 and at that time complied with ICAO standards. In January 2020, a new international standard came into effect, which changed the standards for smoke and non - volatile particle emissions-this required additional certification, the UEC explained.

The second important point is that Russia will now be able to supply aircraft with engines produced by the UEC to the international market, " said Yuri Shmotin, Deputy General Director and General Designer of the UEC, as quoted by the press service.
PD-14 is a basic turbofan engine with a take-off thrust of 9 to 18 tons, created by UEC enterprises to equip MS-21 aircraft.
