Records of all inspection and maintenance performed on bailed property must be maintained. 3.10.9 Material returned to the contractor must be handled as GFM. 3.11 Traceability and Certification Requirements - To assure that correct materials are installed in Level I/SUBSAFE systems, it is imperative that traceability be maintained from the material to the material certification test report and other required Objective Quality Evidence (OQE). The material certification report must completely and accurately reflect that the material supplied meets the specified requirements. 3.11.1 The following provides the minimum requirements for maintaining material traceability and supplements the requirements specified in DI-MISC-81020 and elsewhere in the contract/purchase order. The Contractor must develop written procedures that implement the material control requirements stated herein. 3.12 Material Traceability - The certification data report must be identified through a unique traceability number, heat-lot number, or heat-treat number, as applicable, which must also be marked on the material. This traceability marking on the material must provide direct traceability to the material's chemical composition and mechanical properties certification data. For material produced by batch, continuous cast, or continuous pour processes, samples must be taken no less than once in every eight hours of operation for the purpose of validating proper chemical composition and mechanical properties. Traceability must be maintained through all process operations including any subcontracted operations, to the finished component. 3.13 See CDRL DI-MISC-81020 (Chemical and Mechanical) - Material Certification - In addition to the certification data requirements specified in DI-MISC-81020, the following material certification requirements apply: 3.13.1 Quantitative chemical and mechanical analysis of material is required ;SPS Drawing SD.301.96717; .Test reports must be traceable to traceability marking on the material. Material certification test reports must include the class, form, condition, grade, type, finish, and/or composition, as applicable, of the material supplied. 3.13.2 Re-identification and re-certification of material is required when the material is subjected to a process which alters it's properties. 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 must be uniquely re-identified. The properties thus determined and documented, are required for final certification and must conform to the material specification or the contract/purchase order requirements. When only the mechanical properties are altered, the original certification for chemical composition must be overstamped and/or annotated with the unique traceability marking used with the altered material and at a minimum contain the information below. 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.) 3.13.3 Material certification data forwarded by the manufacturer must 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. 3.13.4 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. 3.13.5 If material is received without the required certification papers or with incorrect/missing data on the certification papers, the material will be rejected. 3.14 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 must 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. 3.14.1 Fasteners must be marked in accordance with ;MIL-DTL-1222. Material grade marking shall be MP98T.; . The method of marking must 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 must be marked by method II when marking is applied after the final heat treatment. Markings on fasteners that are to be coated must be marked prior to coating and have a minimum depth of 4 mils. Traceability marking must be legible after the application of protective compounds. 3.14.2 Marking is required for all fasteners regardless of size and must include the material symbol, the manufacturer's identification symbol, and the traceability marking. Marking must be applied on the head of headed fastener (top preferred, side location if necessary). Where no contract invoked specification requirement exists for this marking, self-locking fasteners must 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. 3.15 Material Handling - The written material control process must include the following: 3.15.1 All raw materials must have traceability markings (except as specified below). 3.15.2 Stored raw materials requiring traceability must be segregated to preclude intermingling with materials not requiring traceability. 3.15.3 When traceability markings will be removed by a manufacturing or fabrication process, the marking must 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 must be reapplied upon completion of the final manufacturing process. 3.15.4 Purchase orders for raw material must 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 must be invoked by the prime contractor on all subcontractors supplying Level I material. 3.15.5 The material control process must 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 must specify a method and marking location for remarking. The contractor must also ensure that subcontractor production controls are adequate to preclude commingling of materials during processing. 3.16 Receiving inspection - 3.16.1 Products and services produced by sub-tier suppliers for incorporation in the contract end item must 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. 3.16.2 Receiving Inspection must include as a minimum - Verification that the traceability marking on the material agrees with that on the certification tes...
