Some references for that: CS 25.337 and CS 25.345, respectively.

CS 25: Certification Specifications for transport category aeroplanes, 
found at
 
http://www.easa.europa.eu/agency-measures/docs/certification-specifications/CS-25/CS-25%20Amdt%2012.pdf

AMC 25.307 specifies that structures need be shown to support limit load 
with detrimental permanent deformations, and ultimate load (usually 1.5 
times limit load, CS 25.303) without failure.

AMC 25: Acceptable Means of Compliance, Book 2 of CS 25, which specifies 
some acceptable means, but not the only possible ones, of showing 
compliance with the specifiations in CS 25 (Book 1).
