This is a Data Item Description (DID) template for Test/Inspection Reports (DI-NDTI-80809B), approved by the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) and effective January 24, 1997.

The DID establishes the mandatory format and content requirements for test and inspection reports used to document results, findings, and analyses that enable government or contracting agencies to evaluate compliance with system requirements, performance objectives, specifications, and test/inspection plans. The template is applicable to engineering (developmental), preliminary qualification, qualification, and acceptance testing activities. The report format is flexible—contractor-prepared formats are acceptable provided all required content elements are organized logically. Required report sections include: cover and title page with report date, number, contractor information, contract details, test type, item identification, test dates, requiring government activity, and security classification; table of contents; introduction with test objectives, item identification, and test requirements; summary of significant results and proposed corrective actions; reference documents; body containing test equipment identification, facility setup and configuration, procedures, recorded data, results analysis, conclusions, and recommendations regarding acceptability (pass/fail determination), additional testing needs, redesign requirements, problem resolution, and documentation changes; authentication certifications by contractor personnel and government witnesses confirming accuracy and compliance; and appendices for voluminous detailed data, drawings, and photographs. The report must address deviations from contract requirements, anomalies, failure causes, and the effectiveness of test procedures in measuring item performance.
