MIL-HDBK-6870B
4.1 Preparation of the NDI Program Plan.
The prime contractor should establish in writing an overall systems plan to assure adequate nondestructive inspection of structural components for which the prime contractor determines NDI acceptance is necessary in an aircraft, missiles and their propulsion systems. This systems plan should include inspections throughout all phases of the program (design, engineering development, production and sustainment). The NDI Program Plan should be subject to the review by the NDIRRB and approval by the Government.
4.2 Responsibility for NDI.
Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all production inspection requirements as specified in the NDI Program Plan. Except as otherwise specified in the contract, the contractor may use their own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements unless disapproved by the Government. The contractor will be responsible for NDI sustainment tasks as specified in the contract.
The NDI Program should consider and implement appropriate nondestructive inspection processes into all phases of the program (design, engineering development, production, and sustainment). The program should establish a Nondestructive Inspection Requirements Review Board (NDIRRB) responsible for oversight and execution of the program.
4.2.1 Objective.
The objective of the NDI Program Plan is to assure a level of nondestructive inspection capability for both production and sustainment inspections, consistent with the prime contractor's design requirements.
4.2.2 Applicability.
The NDI program plan should include and be applicable to structural components as specified in the system specification and produced by the contractor, subcontractors and suppliers under government contract.
4.2.3 Elements.
The NDI Program Plan should present the scheme for establishing the NDI requirements and implementing procedures to meet these requirements. It should include the means of:
a. Conducting parts classification.
b. Coordination of design requirements and production NDI procedures. c. Preparation and approval of production NDI procedures.
d. Demonstration of production NDI capability.
e. Qualification of NDI vendors to meet production capability requirements.
f. Obtain and maintain qualified NDI staff and an accredited NDI training/certification program.
g. Implementation of production NDI procedures.
h. Coordination and documentation of inspection requirements to support long-term sustainment including structural repairs.
i. Preparation of NDI technical data for long term sustainment.
j. Validation and verification of inspection technical data for sustainment.
