These parts will be processed under the disposition instructions of NASA, GIDEP and/or FAA A/C 21-29 guidance.

e. The supplier shall provide certificates of conformance and test/inspection data upon delivery and prior to NASA acceptance of supplies ordered.

A certification of conformance is required for all custom parts. These parts are made from source control drawings (SCD). This type part includes any Electrical, Electronic or Electromechanical (EEE) part that that has been modified or is not used as intended.

Custom parts require build records, test data and destructive physical analysis (DPA) data accompany the parts.

All EEE parts affected by this attachment require trace ability from the manufacturing location by Cage Code to where the parts were made. Parts require full trace ability to lot, date code, and batch code type data.

All EEE parts must be incompliance with NASA-STD-8739, NASA-STD-8739.4, IPC-J- STD-001E and ANSI/ESD S20.20.
