Justification for First Article (FA) Requirement:

1. Critical to Safety/Use (of weapon system).

2. Product described by drawing, OEM and MIL-Specs, End item requires dimensional conformance, process and materials verification, and Acceptance - testing must be properly performed. The contractor's test plan shall describe the proposed means by which the contractor will accomplish and document conformance to the requirements involved in production (incl. dimensional, material and process conformance) and testing IAW the item TDP. The test plan shall employ text, tables, sketches, drawings and/or photographs as necessary/appropriate to illustrate the contractor plan to satisfy and document conformance to the item TDP and FA CDRL requirements.

3. FAT waived if procured from the OEM or produced for and approved by the OEM.

The FATP shall:

1) List/briefly describe the equipment proposed/planned for testing.

2) Describe the means by which calibrations traceable to the NIST will be assured.

3) Describe the means by which the contractor will accomplish/document the dimensional conformance, weighing and tests required IAW the item TDP.

4) Provide sample format(s) proposed for use in FATR documentation of conformance (dimensional, material and process compliance, functional test results) to the TDP.

5) Provide evidence of a plan to photo document compliance to all permanent item marking requirements (stenciling, silk-screening, ID plates, etc. as applicable).

See CDRL A001

The Test Report (FATR) shall report the inspection and test results IAW the approved FATP and the FATR CDRL.
