The test plan must address equipment and facilities for dimensional and tolerance verification, non-destructive and visual inspections, material property verification including mechanical and metallurgical testing, and confirmation that significant manufacturing processes use OEM (Pratt & Whitney) or CEA-approved/certified sources.
