Tech/Engineering / aircraft repairs

Russian term or phrase: ПКИ

At the end of the list of repairs is this note:

Примечание: Ремонт или замену поврежденных ПКИ Заказчик обеспечивает самостоятельно за свой счет.

My guess is that it means the interior furnishings and fittings. The only abbreviation I can find which might fit is покупные комплектующие изделия (purchased integrated parts according to Multitran) and this could possibly be made to mean interior fittings, but I'd be glad of confirmation or correction.

It looks you are right in understanding the acronym...

Explanation:
...but a bit wrong in its interpretation.
Indeed, it stands for покупные / приобретаемые комплектующие изделия. But that doesn't mean the components will be used for interior furnishing. In fact, the Note says that the client will be solely responsible for repairs and replacement of the items he bought on his own discretion; the Contractor (or any other party to the contract) will not be responsible for repairs, etc. of items purchased from external suppliers.

Happy New Year!

В качестве добавления - ПКИ противопоставляются стандартному/официальному/договорному комплекту поставки и подразумевают все, что заказчик приобретает самостоятельно.

Grading comment

Thank you very much for the explanation. I had the right general idea, since the interior is most likely to be modified by the purchaser, but it presumably also covers things like the external livery - I don't suppose a repairer will fix up the airline name on the side! Translations that come to mind are "non-standard items", "customer modifications" or "custom components".
