DID_DI_NDTI_80809B_Test_Report.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) template that establishes the standard format and content requirements for Test/Inspection Reports used in federal contracting. The DID, identified as DI-NDTI-80809B and approved January 24, 1997, is applicable to the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command (F/AFMC-DCJP) and supersedes previous versions DI-NDTI-80809A and DI-MISC-80653.

The report template is used to document test and inspection results, findings, and analyses enabling government or contracting agencies to evaluate compliance with system requirements, performance objectives, specifications, and test/inspection plans. It applies to engineering (developmental), preliminary qualification, qualification, and acceptance testing. The required report structure includes: cover and title page information (report date, number, contractor details, contract number, test type, item identification, test period, requiring government activity, and security classification); table of contents with section titles, page numbers, and illustration identifications; introduction section detailing specific test/inspection objectives, complete item identification (nomenclature, stock number, model/part/serial numbers, item type, applicable engineering changes, and manufacture date), and required test/inspection parameters with performance requirements and acceptance criteria; summary of significant results, observations, conclusions, recommendations, proposed corrective actions, identified deviations, and supporting tables/graphs; reference documents; detailed body sections covering test equipment identification, facility installation and set-up, procedures, recorded data, test results with comparative matrices, conclusions distinguishing objective from subjective findings, and recommendations regarding item acceptability, additional testing, redesign needs, and documentation changes; required certifications authenticating accuracy and authorization; and appendices for voluminous data and supporting documentation. The template permits contractor-specified formatting while maintaining standardized content organization to facilitate government evaluation and understanding of test/inspection outcomes.
