10.17 MAINTENANCE CONTROL ACCESS: The machine controller must allow maintenance LEVEL 1 access to machine controls for routine and unique tasks and features. This can be done in the form as a password or key. Control access for maintenance below factory tech level will be included with this machine procurement. If there isn’t pre-set access, the access password, key, etc. must be included with this machine procurement.

11. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS:

11.1 COMMERCIAL DATA: The contractor shall furnish two (2) copies of the following commercial data. The commercial data shall be available for use during installation and training of Depot personnel.

A. Operator Manual B. Maintenance Manual C. Utilities and System Schematic Drawings F. Repair Parts Catalog G. Component Parts/Repair Parts Manual for Commercial Items

11.2 QUALITY CONFORMANCE INSPECTION: The laser cutting system components shall be subject to a quality conformance inspection, performed by a designated Depot representative, to determine compliance with this specification.

11.3 TESTS: The contractor shall be responsible for developing test procedures to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this specification. All test procedures shall be submitted to and approved by Depot Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) prior to the start of testing.
