MIL-HDBK-6870B
3.16 NDI Requirements Review Board (NDIRRB).
The Nondestructive Inspection Requirements Review Board (NDIRRB) is comprised of NDI, durability and damage tolerance, design, materials and processes (M&P) subject matter experts (SMEs) representing the prime, major subcontractors and government/customer. The NDIRRB should be formed early in the conceptual phase of a weapons system to provide guidance to the prime contractor, major sub-contractors, System Program Office (SPO), and subsequently to the System Program Manager (SPM), on all technical matters necessary to establish, implement and maintain an effective life cycle NDI Program responsive to the quality assurance, structural integrity and sustainment requirements of the program. The NDIRRB should review and assess inspection requirements and processes during all phases of the program from initial concept development through production and in-service operation.
3.17 Probability of detection (POD).
Probability of detection is a statistical measurement of the likelihood, with a specified confidence level, of finding a flaw of a defined size using a specific inspection process.
3.18 Qualification.
Qualification is the verified ability of personnel or products to meet the minimum capability, technical or performance requirements for a specified level of capability.
3.19 Safety-of-flight structure.
Safety-of-flight structures are structures whose single failure could cause loss of the weapon system, aircrew, or cause inadvertent store release. The loss could occur either immediately upon failure or subsequently if the failure remained undetected.
3.20 Subcontractors.
Subcontractors are organizations responsible to the contractor for a portion of the overall government contracted product.
3.21 Supplier.
Suppliers are organizations directly responsible for delivering a material, part or service to the
Government, a contractor, or a subcontractor.
3.22 Validation.
The process of demonstrating the applicability of a proposed inspection process (equipment and procedures) to meet a specified requirement.
3.23 Verification.
The process of certifying the efficacy of an inspection process (equipment, reference standards and written procedures) through a demonstration, on a representative structure, in a representative environment, and by representative inspection personnel.
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The acquisition or modification of aircraft or missiles and their propulsion system should stress the inclusion and use of Nondestructive Inspection (NDI) in major design packages in production, test and sustainment environments. A detailed life cycle Nondestructive Inspection plan should be included as an integral component of the structural maintenance plans required by MIL-STD-1530.
