including any/all invoked specifications and drawings.
3.9 Mercury Free - Mercury and mercury containing compounds must not be intentionally added or come in direct contact with hardware or supplies furnished under this contract. Mercury contamination of the material will be cause for rejection.
3.10 Thread Forming - The following provides the official interpretation of paragraph 4.5.2.7 of MIL-DTL-1222.
3.10.1 In order to qualify for "Alternate Mechanical Testing" found in MIL-DTL-1222J paragraph 4.5.2.7 and utilize the mechanical properties for the starting bar stock in lieu of performing yield strength or proof stress testing on finished fasteners, all of
the subsequent provisions found in MIL-DTL-1222J paragraphs 4.5.2.7 a through e must be met. If any single provision is not met, all required mechanical testing must be performed on the finished full sized fasteners. These provisions are explained as follows:
a. Proper product lot control and traceability must be in place.
b. No heat treatment (including hot heading and hot forming), cold forming, drawing, rolling and thread rolling may be performed on the starting bar, fastener blanks or finished fasteners after the completion of the mechanical testing on the starting bar.
c. and d. The proper size starting bar must be selected to ensure mechanical properties of finished fasteners are represented by the mechanical properties of the starting bar.
e. The mandatory testing, axial tensile (studs) and wedge tensile (screws and bolts) must be performed on full sized fasteners. Note that there is a typographical error in paragraph 4.5.2.7 and that the axial load test is a mandatory test that must be
performed on studs as required in paragraph 4.5.2.7.e.
3.10.2 Thread rolling is a cold working process and is not considered to be a machining or grinding operation. Therefore, fasteners which have rolled threads do not satisfy the provisions of MIL-DTL-1222J paragraph 4.5.2.7.b and are not eligible for the
"Alternate Mechanical Testing" provision.
3.10.3 Thread rolling alone is not a sufficient cold working process to qualify a fastener to be in the cold worked (CW) condition. This condition is only applicable to some 300 series stainless steel studs, screws and nuts. These CW condition fasteners
must be manufactured from cold worked bar stock or be cold headed in order to qualify. The threads may subsequently be rolled, machined or ground. Testing of the finished fasteners and/or reporting of the starting bar stock material properties is subject to
the same provisions found in MIL-DTL-1222J paragraph 4.5.2.7 and discussed above.

3.15.9 Material returned to the contractor must be handled as GFM.
3.16 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.
3.16.1 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.
3.17 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.
3.18 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:
3.18.1 Quantitative chemical and mechanical analysis of material is required ;in accordance with MIL-DTL-1222; .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.
3.18.2 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.)
3.18.3 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.
3.18.4 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.
3.18.5 If material is received without the required certification papers or with incorrect/missing data on the certification papers, the material will be rejected.
3.19 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.
3.19.1 Fasteners must be marked in accordance with ;MIL-DTL-1222; . 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.
3.19.2 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.
3.20 Material Handling - The written material control process must include the following:
3.20.1 All raw materials must have traceability markings (except as specified below).
3.20.2 Stored raw materials requiring traceability must be segregated to preclude intermingling with materials not requiring traceability.
3.20.3 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.
3.20.4 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.
3.20.5 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.
3.21 Receiving inspection -
3.21.1 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.
3.21.2 Receiving Inspection must include as a minimum -
Verification that the traceability marking on the material agrees with that on the certification test reports.
Verification that certification test reports are legible and complete.
Verification that the contents of the certification test reports are in compliance with the contractually invoked specifications and requirements.
3.22 Discrepancy reporting -
3.22.1 Nonconforming products from sub-tier suppliers must be identified and processed in accordance with the prime contractor's procedures for controlling nonconforming products. The prime contractor must report the receipt of any nonconforming products to
the responsible sub-tier supplier in accordance with established procedures. Nonconforming material records will be maintained and available for review by the government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR).
3.23 Final Inspection - The following inspections must be performed prior to Government inspection and acceptance.
3.23.1 Material Sampling - Material must be inspected for form, fit, and function. Lot acceptance must be based on zero defects and lot rejection based on one defect. The sample size must be in accordance with the sampling plan(s) in the applicable military
specification or standard, federal specification or standard, or drawing to which the material was manufactured. In the absence of such sampling plans, sampling inspection must be per ANSI/ASQ-Z1.4, general inspection level II (for sample size selection code),
table IIA (for sample size).
SMALL LOT SIZES - For lot sizes of fifty or less, the minimum sample size must be eight units. For lot sizes of eight or less, the sample size must be one hundred percent of the lot.
3.23.2 The Manufacturer may elect to use Statistical Process Control (SPC) to assure product quality in lieu of the above attribute sampling plan, provided the SPC methodology/system used provides acceptable products to the Government. However, the
Government/Navy Receipt Inspection Activity may perform their acceptance inspection of the material using the attribute sampling plan outlined above.
3.23.3 All data concerning material verification (chemical and mechanical properties), traceability (material certifications to material marking), and nondestructive test (NDT) certifications for material must be 100% inspected. The certification test reports
must also be 100% inspected for completeness and legibility.
3.23.4 All metallic material must be 100% inspected for traceability marking and that the marking is legible.
