Summary

This is a Data Item Description (DID) document that establishes the format and content requirements for Test/Inspection Reports (DI-NDTI-80809B). The DID prescribes the standardized structure and information that contractors must include when documenting test and inspection results, findings, and analyses to enable government evaluation of compliance with system requirements, performance objectives, specifications, and test/inspection plans. The document was approved on January 24, 1970, by the Office of Primary Responsibility (F/AFMC-DOP) and supersedes prior versions DI-NDTI-80809A and DI-MISC-80653.

The report structure requires contractors to organize content into specified sections: a cover and title page identifying the report date, number, contractor and government entity codes, contract information, test type, identification of items tested, and security classification; a table of contents with page numbers and illustration identification; an introduction detailing test/inspection objectives and complete item identification including nomenclature, stock numbers, model/part/serial numbers, and item type; test/inspection requirements correlated to contractual specifications and acceptance limits; a summary with significant results and proposed corrective actions with schedules; reference documents including prior reports, test plans, certifications, and input parameters; a body section documenting test equipment specifications, facility setup and orientation, testing procedures, results and analysis matrices comparing achievement against requirements, and conclusions addressing procedure effectiveness and the need for additional testing; and recommendations addressing item acceptability, redesign requirements, and procedure improvements. The document includes authentication requirements for test/inspection results, prior validation, and acceptability determinations, all signed by authorized contractor and government personnel. Appendices may contain detailed test data, drawings, photographs, and other supporting documentation too voluminous for the main report. Distribution is approved for public release with unlimited distribution.
