MIL-HDBK-6870B APPENDIX A CHARTER

FOR

(ENTER SYSTEM NAME)

NONDESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS REVIEW BOARD (NDIRRB)

INTRODUCTION.

The appropriate application of Nondestructive Inspection (NDI) to aerospace systems helps achieve system safety and structural integrity requirements. To ensure appropriate NDI is implemented, a Nondestructive Requirements Review Board shall be established during the conceptual phase of each new major weapon system acquisition, major modifications to existing weapon systems, or as required as a means of achieving this goal. The intent is to bring together the designer, maintainer and user so that they may all contribute in formulating and implementing an effective, continuing system NDI plan. This charter establishes the NDIRRB for the (enter system name).

PURPOSE.

The NDIRRB shall be the authorized body for NDI policy and implementation. The purpose of the NDIRRB is to provide assistance and guidance to the System Program Office (SPO), System Program Manager (SPM), the Prime Contractor and Suppliers on all technical matters necessary to establish, implement, and maintain an effective NDI Program responsive to the structural integrity and in-service maintenance requirements of the (enter system name). Each NDIRRB team member is responsible to be cognizant of the NDI process at the Prime Contractor and its suppliers/subcontractors and bring any NDI program considerations/problems to the review board. This could require the Prime Contractor and suppliers/subcontractors to present NDI considerations/problems to the NDIRRB for resolution.

MEMBERSHIP.

The NDIRRB shall be comprised of prime contractor, major subcontractor and government NDI, ASIP, design and materials and processes (M&P) experts. The government program office shall designate an independent government team to participate as representatives to the NDIRRB. The government representatives shall also include subject matter experts (SMEs) from the respective service's NDI Program Office, research laboratories, depot maintenance facilities, and using commands. The NDIRRB may be augmented with independent non- governmental SMEs as required.

This NDIRRB is chaired by Prime Contractors Lead for Materials and Process Engineering or Lead NDI Level III. It is a prerequisite that each permanent member possess extensive background in NDI to maximize the efficiency of the board. In addition, representative from structural engineering, quality, material procurement, design, manufacturing and other organizations including the supplier's Responsible NDI Level III may be requested to participate. The NDIRRB shall consist of the following members and alternates from the organizations listed. The NDIRRB shall update the policy content and membership as required.
