OQE ORDERING REQUIREMENTS FOR CIM

Provide written verification that the chemical and mechanical properties have been

determined and are acceptable IAW the required specification MIL-E-23765B as

applicable for Document# 1343-8189.

a.) Provide written verification that the chemical analysis and mechanical

properties tests have been determined and are acceptable. All test reports will

contain a signed certification that the results represent the actual values for the

material provided and that they are in full compliance with the contract

specification. Material certification data shall be recorded on the testing company's

letterhead and shall bear the name, title and signature of the authorized company

representative. The name and title shall be clearly legible. Certification data

supplied to the government shall be either the original mill material certification,

the original copy from the testing facility, or exact photocopies of these documents.

The data forwarded by the manufacturer shall contain a signed certification that the

reported results represent the actual attributes of the material furnished and indicate

full compliance with all applicable specification and contract requirements.

Statements on material certification documents must be positive and unqualified.

The material certification data reports shall include quantitative data representing

the actual values obtained during testing.

b.) Test reports will list all verified attributes and will be traceable to the material

via a heat, lot, or batch number applied to the material by the manufacturer. Each

piece of material must be marked with the applicable heat, lot, or batch number

shown on the test reports provided. In the case of a finished product identified by a

lot number manufactured from a start material identified by a heat number, the

final test reports performed on the finished product samples shall be marked with

the lot number. The test reports for the raw material shall be marked with the heat

number of that material.

c.) Test reports labeled "Typical," those with words such as "to the best of our

knowledge" or "we believe the information contained herein is true" or those that

have results transcribed from other reports or documents, or test reports with the

heat/lot/batch number information handwritten on them are not acceptable.

d.) Test reports for loose MIL-DTL-1222, K-Monel (QQ-N-286), fasteners and for

all assemblies which contain MIL-DTL-1222 K-Monel fasteners, shall include a

certification statement describing the forming process used to manufacture the

fasteners (i.e. hot headed with cold rolled threads, hot headed with machined

threads, etc.), the heat treatments performed, and the order in which these actions

were performed (i.e., fasteners manufactured and then solution annealed and age

hardened, etc.). This action is required to ensure compliance with MIL-DTL-1222,

paragraph 3.3.4, which requires fasteners with formed heads (i.e., hot headed, cold

headed, etc.) and rolled threads to be solution annealed and age hardened after the

manufacturing process.

e.) Certifications for QQ-N-286 Rev G materials shall show that slow strain rate

tensile SSRT test of "start material" has been accomplished per QQ-N-286 Rev G

requirements.

f.) Where headed fastener specifications require a yield strength test AND a wedge

tensile test, a separate (new, untested) fastener is required for each of the two test

methods, and both of these tests shall be reported.

This does not apply to steel hex head fasteners (grades 2, 5, 8, B7, and B16) are

certified to a proof load and NOT yield strength; therefore, this issue does NOT

apply to those fasteners.

NOTE: This does apply to All CRES and non-ferrous bolts and screws, and ALL

steel socket head cap screws (grade A574 and 4340).

Wedge tensile test a required test for including ones that had their yield strength

and tensile strength certified by alternative testing IAW MIL-DTL-1222.
