A8b DI NDTI 80809B Test Inspect Report.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) template that establishes the format and content requirements for Test/Inspection Reports used in federal contracting. The DID is identified as DI-NDTI-80809B and was approved on 970124 by the Office of Primary Responsibility (F/AFMC-DOP). It supersedes DI-NDTI-80809A and DI-MISC-80653.

The Test/Inspection Report is designed to document test/inspection results, findings, and analyses that enable government or contracting agencies to evaluate compliance with system requirements, performance objectives, specifications, and test/inspection plans. The DID applies to engineering (developmental), preliminary qualification, qualification, and acceptance testing activities. Required report content includes a cover and title page with report date, number, contractor information, contract details, item identification, and type of test/inspection; a table of contents; an introduction identifying test/inspection objectives and items tested; complete identification of test equipment with nomenclature, model, serial number, and calibration status; detailed description of facility installation, set-up, and physical configuration; comprehensive test/inspection procedures and sequence; recorded data and results with matrices comparing achievements against objectives; test/inspection conclusions addressing procedure effectiveness, pass/fail determinations, and need for additional testing; and recommendations covering acceptability, redesign requirements, or procedural improvements. The report must include authentication certifications for test/inspection results, prior validation, and acceptability determinations, each signed by authorized contractor personnel and government witnesses. Appendices should contain supporting data, drawings, photographs, and referenced documentation too voluminous for the main report body.
