If someone receives a reply from EA that the submitted CE has the similarities or copied from the sources AND they provide you a chance for explanation than you are lucky enough that they provide you a chance for explanation and now you should prove the originality of your work otherwise you may face a ban for one year OR again you have to apply, again $s.
I HAVE FACED THE SAME SITUATION AND COULD SHARE MY EXPERIENCE THAT MIGHT HELP YOU.
This situation could happen when you have copied some small content from online sources that could be CDR's, published papers, magazines, books or anything which is available online.
PLEASE NEVER EVER COPY MATERIAL FROM ANY WEBSITES AND CDRs.
You may consult these but write it in your own words.
EXPLANATION FOR THE SIMILARITIES:
1. If you have copied from CDR's never say that you have consulted or read any CDR because ethically CDR seems to be more negative than the other sources.
2. You know better which part of your CDR is copied, so don't highlight that part of your CDR in explanation. Instead of this divert it on what you have done yourself and how you have performed all the tasks stated in your CDR.
3. If you have any personnel notebook on which you have done some calculations, made drawings, wrote any literature regarding the project or anything regarding the said project scan it and use it as a evidence that you have done the project yourself.
This is the most solid proof of your original work which can convince the assessor that you have done the project your self. So present it in a wonderful way. I included the drawings which were even not readable, literature was even not in English, my notebook was four years old and in a pathetic condition. I scanned 20 pages of that and sent to the assessor.
4. If you have highlighted any equipment's specifications in CDR or any machine which could be a common or standard product for anyone highlight that. For instance, I have used ABB motor or Some other machine and I have mentioned it in my CDR then there is a chance of similarity that anyone else can also use it and the specifications can match with other candidates. So highlight such material from your CDR and search for the sources from the internet which should be common, means there should be no harm if you copy such literature from internet or books because of its standard all over the world.
As the assessor knows that your CDR is having plagiarism and he is asking for the sources so for me it sounds good to provide him the sources which are common and can match with anyone.
Provide 2, 3 internet links in explanations, or some book, e.g ABB motor installation guide ( As my CDR was based on the motors so I am using Motor).
But don't say I copied from these sources instead state that I consulted/read these as it's standardized product.
5. Same for safety norms, if you have mentioned some safety measures/tools in your CDR than relate it to common standards e.g OHSAS safety norms or others. Because safety tools are common all over the world, even safety strategies are also common.
6. You can also provide or refer some sources for the introduction of your project.
7. If you can get a certificate from your company or professor (depends on your scenario) which states that you have done the project your self that can be beneficial for your explanation.
The person should be your direct boss which you have shown on the hierarchical chart in CDR.
Point # 4, 5 and 6: it's easy to find the material for these points from the internet as these are common and can be applicable to any project. Actually, I provided internet links for these parts while I have written all of these points on my own. Literature and standards are the only thing in your CDR which can match with other candidate and you have to highlight only that. Provide the sources to the assessor and create the sources of your original work instead of copied one.
I hope that above can help.
