C07_DI-MISC-80678 Cert Data Report.pdf

This is a DD Form 1664 Data Item Description (DID) template that establishes standardized requirements for Certification/Data Reports in federal contracts.

The DID specifies that certification data is required to verify that specific qualifications have been obtained, tests performed, parts/assemblies/equipments/systems installed, tested, inspected, and are ready for operation; that personnel have required qualifications; and that equipment/documentation meets specification requirements. The identification number is DI-MISC-80678, with approval date of 080912 and AMSC number M4533. The Office of Primary Responsibility is N/SEA 5523. Certification may be required for a single event/operation or on a continuing basis with periodic re-certification. When contracts require items via military specification MIL-STD-961, detailed technical requirements shall be specified in an appendix titled "Certification Data/Report Technical Content Requirements" on DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List.

The preparation instructions require reports to be typewritten in narrative format on the contractor's form, covering the certification type specified in the CDRL. Content must include contract number, data item sequence number, and a statement identifying the certification's purpose and applicability. Reports must address certification of completion (with objective evidence such as spectrograms, radiographs, material sampling, analysis, and inspection/testing reports), certification of personnel (supported by licenses, permits, tests, competency statements), certification of data review (documenting examination depth and results, or stating reasons if documentation cannot be certified), and certification of compliance (as a statement that the contractor has complied with specification requirements). The report must be signed by the contractor's authorized representative and include supplemental information as defined in DD Form 1423.
