Upon completion of the manufacture of the first article and process control laminates, a Certificate of Conformance for each first article and process control laminate shall be submitted to the TPOC (paragraph 6.0) via email within 30 days. The Certificates of Conformance shall include all the information specified in paragraph 3.4 of this document.

In addition, the process control laminates shall be delivered to the TPOC for testing. The TPOC shall evaluate and compare local test results with the Certificates of Conformance from the Contractor to ensure that there are no discrepancies. The process control laminates shall be packaged in accordance with paragraph 3.7 of this document. The Contractor shall deliver the process control laminates to the TPOC using the following delivery address:
