If the starting material or raw stock is processed in a manner that will not affect its chemical composition or mechanical properties, the original certifications for the chemical composition and mechanical properties, as required by the material specification, are acceptable. Re-certification of the chemical or mechanical properties is required if a process is used during fabrication that alters the original properties of the material (e.g. alloying, heat treating, or forming). In these instances, the properties of the material must be re-determined and documented to reflect the altered condition. The altered material shall be uniquely re-identified. The properties thus determined and documented, are required for final certification and shall conform to the material specification or the contract/purchase order requirements. When only the mechanical properties are altered, the original certification forchemical composition shall be overstamped and annotated with the unique traceability marking used with the altered material and at a minimum contain the informationbelow. TRACEABILITY MARKING ________________________________________________ (marking on finished item) IS FABRICATED FROM RAW MATERIAL IDENTIFIED TO HEAT/LOT NUMBER ______________ AND HEAT TREAT NUMBER ______________________ (when applicable) _________________________________________ DATE _____________________ (name and signature of auth. co. rep.) 3.19.3 Material certification data forwarded by the manufacturer shall contain a signed certification that the report results represent the actual attributes of the material furnished and indicate full compliance with all applicable specification and contract requirements. Transcription of certification data is prohibited. 3.19.4 Statements on material certification documents must be positive and unqualified. Disclaimers such as ""to the best of our knowledge"" or ""we believe the information contained herein is true"" are not acceptable. 3.19.5 If material is received without the required certification papers or with incorrect/missing data on the certification papers, the material will be rejected. 3.20 Material Marking for Traceability and Identification - The following are the minimum marking requirements. Additional/alternate marking requirements, if applicable, will be specified elsewhere in the contract/purchase order. In addition to the marking requirements on applicable drawings and/or specifications, marking for traceability is required. All traceability marking shall be permanently applied in accordance with MIL-STD-792 (except as specified below). An alternate marking method is permissible provided it is an available option in the contractually invoked specification or drawing, except in instances where the material has been modified by this contract/purchase order and differs from that specified in the specification or drawing. 3.20.1 Fasteners shall be marked in accordance with ;NASM 17828. Nuts shall be marked on the wrenching surface with the manufacturer's identification symbol, material symbol and heat/lot traceability code.; . The method of marking shall be types I, II, III, V, VIII or IX of MIL-STD-792 except for grades 410, 416 and 431 in the H condition and grades 8, 630, A574, and 4340 which shall be marked by method II when marking is applied after the final heat treatment. Markings on fasteners that are to be coated shall be marked prior to coating and have a minimum depth of 4 mils. Traceability marking must be legible after the application of protective compounds. 3.20.2 Marking is required for all fasteners regardless of size and shall include the material symbol, the manufacturer's identification symbol, and the traceability marking. Marking shall be applied on the head of headed fastener (top preferred, side location if necessary). Self-Locking screws shall also be marked with six dots. Where no contract invoked specification requirement exists for this marking, self-locking fasteners shall be marked with six dots approximately .032"" diameter, raised or depressed by approximately .010"" located on the top perimeter of the head of the fastener in an arc or circular pattern. The six dots must be distinguishable from all other required markings. 3.21 Material Handling - The written material control process shall include the following: 3.21.1 All raw materials shall have traceability markings (except as specified below). 3.21.2 Stored raw materials requiring traceability shall be segregated to preclude intermingling with materials not requiring traceability. 3.21.3 When traceability markings will be removed by a manufacturing or fabrication process, the marking shall be recorded prior to removal and be immediately restored upon completion of the process. If this cannot be done or is impractical, an appropriate material control procedure (such as a bag and tag, tagging, and/or tote box control) must be employed. The material control procedure must provide a method of positive control to preclude commingling of heats or loss of traceability. The traceability marking shall be reapplied upon completion of the final manufacturing process. 3.21.4 Purchase orders for raw material shall specify that the material be traceable to material certification test reports by the traceability marking on the material and identified on the test reports. The certification data requirements contained in DI-MISC-81020 shall be invoked by the prime contractor on all subcontractors supplying Level I material. 3.21.5 The material control process shall include requirements for the maintenance of traceability for items sent out for subcontracted operations. If such operations would remove traceability markings, purchase or work orders shall specify a method and marking location for remarking. The contractor shall also ensure that subcontractor production controls are adequate to preclude commingling of materials during processing. 3.22 Receiving inspection - 3.22.1 Products and services produced by sub-tier suppliers for incorporation in the contract end item shall be subject to inspection or audit at the time of receipt by the prime prior to further processing within the prime contractor's plant or shipment to another location. 3.22.2 Receiving Inspection shall include as a minimum - Verification that the traceability marking on the material agrees with that on the certification test reports.
