will remove traceability identification, the supplier shall contact FCP for instructions as to how
and where to remark the traceability identification.
2.2. Receiving Inspection:
2.2.1. All items shall be receipt inspected to verify the physical marking of traceability information.
2.2.2. Receipt inspection of the material or component shall be performed in accordance with OP-
13-045 in addition to the requirements of this procedure. In the event of a conflict between
this procedure and OP-13-045, the requirements of this document shall take precedence.
2.2.3. Material Certification shall be inspected to verify the following requirements.
2.2.3.1. Test data shall be recorded on the testing company's letterhead. Transcribed data
is not allowed.
2.2.3.2. The correct material specification and revision level shall be referenced.
2.2.3.3. The heat number and/or lot number shall be marked on both the material and the
certification.
2.2.3.4. Quantitative data of chemical composition and mechanical properties that relate to
the specific heat and/or lot number shall be recorded.
2.2.3.5. The name, title , and signature of an authorized company representative must be
included.
2.2.3.6. The certification and the heat and/or lot number marked on the material shall be

certification.
2.2.4. Documentation of Inspection:
2.2.4.1. The results of the certification verification shall be recorded on forms F-13-047
Material Receipt Inspection Checklist/All Materials and F-13-048 Material Receipt
Inspection Checklist/Level 1.
2.2.4.2. The reviewer shall initial or stamp each page of the certification package as the
review of that page is complete and found to be acceptable.
2.2.5. Recertification Requirements:
A material that undergoes a metal working process, heat treatment, forming, etc, excluding
marking and machining, that alters the material's original properties shall have the material's
mechanical properties recertified by one of the following methods.
2.2.5.1. Retest and re-certify the material for all mechanical properties only. The altered
material shall be uniquely re-identified with a traceability number or code. The
original mill certification shall be overstamped and/or annotated to contain the
following information. Pertinent data on the mill certification shall not be obscured
by the overstamp or annotation.

Traceability Number/Code ___________ is fabricated from raw material

Heat No./Heat-Treat No. ____________
Date __________
Name and Signature of the Authorized Company Representative

2.2.5.2. Retest and re-certify both the chemical and mechanical properties in accordance
with paragraph 2.2.3.
2.2.6. Foreign Certificates:
2.2.6.1. Foreign certificates shall be converted to English/US units of measurement either
on the original certification or on an addendum.
2.2.6.2. The conversion shall identify the name, title, and signature of the authorized
representative providing the translation.
2.2.7. Storage:
2.2.7.1. Level 1 materials and components shall be physically segregated by cages, racks,
bins, shelves, roped off areas, or by other attributes such as size or physical
appearance so as to prevent mixing with similar appearing material or components.

Process Owner: Quality Management:

2.2.7.2. Raw materials shall be stored in such a way as to prevent commingling of alloys and
material conditions as specified in MOP-15-02.
2.3. In-process Control of Component Parts:
2.3.1. Heat Number Traceability shall be maintained at all times through all processes for all in-
process materials and components .
2.3.2. Recertification of mechanical properties of a material or component is required if the material
is subjected to an operation that would alter the original properties of the material.
Recertification shall be performed in accordance with Paragraph 2.2.5.
2.4. Marking Requirements:
2.4.1. Raw materials, castings, components:
2.4.1.1. Unless otherwise specified by the applicable contract, marking shall be a permanent
method specified in MIL-STD-792.
2.4.1.2. Items too small to be permanently marked shall have the heat number and/or lot
number identified using one of the following methods:
2.4.1.2.1. Bundled and identified with a tag or card;
2.4.1.2.2. Confined as a group in a tote box identified with the heat and/or lot
number;
