RQR_for_CSI_and_CAI.pdf

This document is a Repair Qualification Requirements (RQR) for Propulsion Critical Safety Items (CSI) and Critical Application Items (CAI) with a Source Demonstration, dated 5 July 2016. The document outlines detailed requirements for potential sources seeking to obtain Engineering Support Activity (ESA) approval to repair specific propulsion components with ERRC codes of C, P, S, T, or U and RMSC codes of C, D, K, M, N, P, Q, R, S, V, and Z.

The RQR establishes a two-phase qualification process: Phase 1 involves Waiver or Source Approval Request (SAR) submittal and evaluation, while Phase 2 is the Source Demonstration (SD). Potential sources must meet strict technical, quality, and manufacturing requirements, including providing comprehensive documentation such as technical data rights certification, quality assurance documentation, sub-tier supplier information, and detailed repair process sheets. The qualification is valid for 3 years for Critical Safety Items and 7 years for Critical Application Items, with potential for loss of qualification under various conditions specified in the document, such as product rejection, changes in manufacturing processes, or unsatisfactory contract performance.
