There is a long list of FAA requirements for equipment and components used
within aircraft. It been a few years since I looked into this subject and I no
longer have a soft copy of the documents or the URL on the FAA web site where it
is located. From what I remember engine components are most definitely on the
list and it the equipment manufacture who has to apply for the FAA certification
/ approval. Unfortunately also from what I remember it was quite a chore to find
the relevant FAA document, but it covers every thing from approval process,
requirements and times which fall under the scope. At the end of the day our
product never got past the bid stage, so I had no reason to keep the info.

Hope this helps.
