All V1+, V2 or V3 items added to the CHS contract undergo FAT unless specified otherwise in the accepted CHS contract modification. FAT consists of hardware-specific survivability and reliability verification (visual, mechanical and electrical). At least one unit of the particular item undergoes FAT. Certain items, including V1 items, are not required to have a FAT performed. FAT may be performed at the contractor’s facility or subcontracted and must be witnessed and subsequently certified by the Government.
