Individuals or organizations performing Electromagnetic Dent Removal (EDR) on Cessna Airplanes, must be Cessna approved/authorized service facilities, or the process must be performed by an approved EDR provider. Exceptions to either of these criteria must be approved by Cessna Aircraft Company. Cessna approved providers of EDR are listed in the qualified providers list.

Use of the EDR process on multiple layer (bonded) skin panels may result in failure to remove the dent and/or debonding the skin panels. For dents in multiple layer (bonded) skin panels, contact Cessna Citation Customer Support for disposition.
Page 100
(6) Dent must be within a single frame/stringer bay. If dent spans a stiffening element, EDR process cannot be used. (7) If there is more than a single dent in a frame/stringer bay, contact Cessna Citation Customer Support for disposition and use of EDR process.
