FIRST ARTICLE Test Plan Report.pdf

This document (LPF-QAR-003) outlines the quality assurance requirements for first article test plans and reports specifically for F100 engine parts. It provides detailed guidelines for preparing first article test plans/test reports referenced within contract first article data.

The document specifies that first articles must undergo 100% inspection and testing, with no sampling allowed. Key requirements include dimensional conformance testing, non-destructive inspections (FPI, ultrasonic, x-ray, visual), material properties testing, and compliance with specifications. All tooling and gaging must be NIST-traceable and calibrated per ISO 10012-1. Test results must be documented in tabular format showing dimensions, tolerances, measurements, and equipment used. The First Article Test Plan (FATP) and First Article Test Report (FATR) must be submitted to the Contracting Officer per contract schedule or Form DD1423. All first articles must be serialized and new manufactured under the contract, with no previously manufactured items allowed without approval. The document also addresses requirements for subcontractor testing and disposition of tested parts.
