9. Notification of approval of the RTT shall be provided via Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Written notification of rejection will be provided by the Contracting Officer. Approval of the RTT must be received prior to performing radiographic inspection of the production lot units. The Contractor shall then follow the approved technique to produce subsequent radiographs in accordance with the approved RTT. Any change in the approved radiographic technique or equipment requires submittal and approval of new RTT at the Contractor's expense.

a. There is hereby created an option for the Government to waive the requirement for submission of a RTT. The

Contractor may only request a waiver for the submission of the RTT as long as the Cognizant Engineering Organization (CEO), which is NSWC IHEODTD, has an approved RTT on file from a previous contract, and the x-ray equipment or RTT has not changed since the referenced contract. The following information shall be furnished by the Contractor when submitting the waiver for RTT:

Approved by ____________________________ Date of approval __________________

Contract number under which RTT was approved ________________________________

b. If the submission of the RTT is waived, the previously approved technique shall apply to the contract.

c. If the Contractor requests waiver of submission of the RTT after time of award, an offer of adequate consideration shall accompany the request.In order to fulfill contractual requirements, the Contractor must submit acceptable radiographs. Radiographs should be reviewed by a Level II or Level III certified radiographer in accordance with NAS 410. A radiographic report, including a list of serial numbers inspected, serial numbers rejected, and reason(s) for rejection will be submitted with the radiographs.

Radiographs not conforming to the requirements specified herein will not be accepted by NSWC IHEODTD.

Disposition of non-conforming radiographs will be by mutual agreement of the parties.

10. In order to fulfill contractual requirements, the Contractor shall submit acceptable radiographs for each Contract Line Item. Radiographs shall be of an image quality to effectively inspect for acceptable assembly of components and defects. Radiographs should be reviewed by a Level II or Level III certified radiographer in accordance with NAS 410. Radiographs not conforming to the requirements specified herein will not be accepted by NSWC IHEODTD. Disposition of non-conforming radiographs will be by mutual agreement of the parties.

11. Representative Quality Indicators (RQI) are recommended to be used on radiographic film or digital images for all CAD/PAD devices. The RQI (also known as a defect standard) contains a known defect (i.e. missing explosive charge, missing O-rings, etc.) placed next to a good unit for comparison, to aid in interpretation. Radiographic test technique shall include RQI to be used and RQI placement.

12. The Contractor shall submit radiographic film as marked (X) below:

X-RAYS ( per applicable spec )

N-RAYS ( per

ASTM E748 )

Sample / LOT Description

X X Test Technique Required X X LOT Acceptance Test Samples X X Production Lot Units X X Explosive Sub-Assemblies (i.e., NON-GFP CTGS, Booster Sleeves, etc.)

Subassembly P/N 40995-1-070 Jet Cord BA-40-J

a. Radiographs of Production Lot Units shall include Lot Acceptance Testing (LAT) samples.

b. Radiographs for storage release CAD lots are not required unless defects are noted during the Lot

Acceptance Test (LAT). When defects are noted during LAT, the Government reserves the right to require 100% radiographic inspection of the suspect lot at the Contractor's expense. These radiographs shall be submitted as specified in paragraphs 12 through 18.

13. Radiographs may be produced using film (conventional x-ray), or non-film (digital) techniques such as Digital Detector Array (DDA), or Computed Radiography (CR), with the understanding that the Contractor must be qualified and given prior approval to use digital radiography by NSWC IHEODTD. A qualification plan must be submitted to the Level III Radiographer at NSWC Indian Head EODTD for review prior to qualification of the digital x-ray system. Once the qualification plan has been reviewed and approved, the Level III Radiographer at NSWC Indian Head EODTD will conduct a site visit (i.e. audit) to witness the qualification of the digital x-ray system. The results of the tests performed during the digital x-ray system qualification will be documented in a qualification plan, which will be submitted to the Level III Radiographer at NSWC Indian Head EODTD. At a minimum, the qualification plan shall include information such as the type of system (Make/Model of DDA or CR system, x-ray sources etc.), as well as the specific types of tests (performance checks, as described in the ASTM standards) to be performed to verify the performance of the system. The tests are described in the appropriate ASTM standards (i.e. ASTM E2445 and ASTM E2033 for CR, and ASTM E2737 and ASTM E2698 for DDA systems). An official approval letter will then be issued by the Commanding Officer, NSWC Indian Head EODTD, which authorizes the use of the digital system. Follow up audits at regular intervals (i.e. annually) may be conducted to assure the long term stability and performance of the digital x-ray system. If digital radiographs are submitted, they shall be in the form of raw data that is Digital Imaging and Communication in Nondestructive Evaluation (DICONDE) compliant. In addition to the raw DICONDE data, 16 bit Tagged Image Format (TIF) images of the digital radiographs must be submitted. The qualification of non-film techniques will be done IAW the latest versions of standards referenced in the latest version of ASTM E1742 (currently ASTM E1742/E1742M-12), such as ASTM E2698 and ASTM E2737 (for the qualification of Digital Detector Array (DDA) detectors), or ASTM E2033 and ASTM E2445 (for the qualification of Computed Radiography (CR) systems).

14. When submitting the radiographic images, the Contractor shall also submit a report of radiographic inspection.

This report shall clearly indicate the units subjected to radiographic inspection by the following data:

- Item Nomenclature and DODIC - Span of serial numbers displayed

- Complete lot number - Missing units by serial number

- Complete contract number - Nonconforming units by serial number and reason

- Government drawing or part number for rejection

NOTE: For the span of serial numbers, include list of serial numbers for units that have been accepted. Any units found to be nonconforming shall be clearly identified. The specific nature of the non-conformance shall be cited, as well as any assignable cause or analysis related to the occurrence.

15. When undergoing radiographic inspection, each unit in the sample or lot shall be permanently serialized in consecutive numerical order per MIL-STD-1168 before radiographic inspection. Serial numbers shall not be repeated on items with the same part number regardless of changes in the lot number. The numbering shall be from left to right, top to bottom with the first item on the left of each row having the lowest serial number. All annotation must be represented using a method which leaves a permanent image on the film, such as placing lead letters on the film cassette or digital detector prior to each exposure. It is NOT acceptable to use adhesive labels, or to write annotation on the film using a marker or other writing instrument. Units that are missing on a radiograph must be indicated by identifying the serial number of the unit immediately preceding, and immediately following, the missing unit(s).

All units shall be arranged on trays or boards in consecutive numerical order. Radiographs shall reveal internal components. This may require using various techniques which may include multiple exposures, multiple speeds of film being loaded for each exposure, or additional orientation of unit(s) i.e. 0 degree and 90 degree exposures. Any discontinuities in the serial numbers displayed shall be clearly marked on the representative radiographic image.

Specific reasons for the missing serial number(s) and all rejects from the Contractor and QAR inspections prior to radiographic inspection shall be recorded on the radiographic inspection report as described in paragraph 11 and forwarded with the LAT sample. Row-unit-quantities shall be consistent except the ending row of the production lot, which may vary. In addition, serial numbers shall appear at the end of each row when more than 100 units appear on one radiograph image; these serial numbers may appear on tape and be affixed to the radiograph.

16. This radiographic image and report shall be shipped prepaid. The delivery of the radiographic image and report shall be in accordance with Contract Data Requirement List (CDRL) DD Form 1423, sequence number A007. The film shall be placed in film envelopes or sleeves. Radiographic film shall be place into an appropriate shipping container that will not damage the film. The film envelopes shall be placed in either a fiberboard, cardboard, or wooden box. X-rays or N-ray film shall not be placed directly into a shipping container (i.e. FedEx or UPS box). X-ray or N-ray film shall not be rolled up and place in a shipping tube. The film should be flat, and not folded, bent, or otherwise mutilated.

17. All radiographic images shall be retained by the Government. All radiographic images shall display a permanent identification of the following information:

- Item Nomenclature and DODIC - Government Drawing or Part Number

- Complete Lot Number - Span of Serial Numbers Displayed

- Complete Contract Number - Name of radiographic facility

- Date of radiograph

18. All documentation, i.e., packing slip, invoice, WAWF-RR, etc., accompanying the radiographic images shall clearly indicate, as a minimum, the following information:

- Contract Number - Item Nomenclature

- National Stock Number (NSN) - Department of Defense Identification Code (DODIC)

- Lot Number

19. Due to the critical nature and safety application of these items, the Contractor and the QAR are cautioned that it is mandatory to assure the correct identification and nomenclature are assigned for all item and shipping containers prior to shipment.

20. The Contractor shall have the ballistic test fixtures and/or capabilities to assure that the item being procured meets the specification requirements.

21. The Contractor shall provide, upon Government request and at Contractor’s own cost, copies of all certificates of compliance for all materials (mechanical properties, alloying) and all quality conformance tests (Hydrostatic, X-ray, Protective Finish, Magnetic Particle, Dye Penetrant).

22. The government reserves the right to require a post award orientation either digitally or at the contractor's facility at no additional cost to the Government. The contractor will be notified at the time of award, or within a reasonable time after award, to prepare a post award conference to discuss the contract. All contractor and government personnel that are pertinent from the various contracting, acquisition, manufacturing, and engineering fields may be present. It is the contractor's responsibility to ensure that the appropriate contractor personnel or subcontractor personnel are available for the orientation.
