SUPPLIER FIRST ARTICLE INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMS
Document Name: Supplier First Article Inspection Instructions and Forms
Revision: A
Document No.: 1-4.10-FM-35
1.0 APPLICABILITY
This procedure applies to production products, assemblies, subassemblies,
and purchased parts. This procedure does not apply to standard catalog
components, commercially available hardware and deliverable software.
2.0 PROCESS
First Article Inspection, (FAI) is required when:
1. New parts/products released to production.
2. A change in the design affecting form, fit or function.
3.
A change in manufacturing source, process, inspection method,
location of manufacture, tooling or materials that can potentially affect
form, fit or function.
4.
A change in a CNC program or translation to another media that can
potentially affect form, fit or function.
5.
A natural or man-made event, which may adversely affect the
manufacturing process.
6. A lapse in production for two or more years or as specified by contract.
A partial FAI is acceptable under the following circumstances: (1) In
response to an Engineering Change Order, only the changes need to be
addressed, and (2) when a variation of a part is created and manufactured
using the same process as the parent part. The FAI for the parent part and
the FAI for the delta of the variation may be used.”
Please note that the box numbers on page 4 are not always contiguous intentionally because they are the same numbers as on the full FAI forms. Each section represents an AS9102 compliant form.
Part Number Accountability (form is on page 4) 1) Part Number: Number of the part (FAI part).
2) Part Name: Name of the part as shown on the drawing. 3) Serial Number: Serial number of the part if required
4) FAI Report Number: Reference number that identified the FAI.
___________________________________________________________________ *(CR)- Conditionally Required – This field must be completed when applicable.
This field is shown in Bold Italic font.
5) Part Revision Level: Latest part revision that affects the part being first article inspected. If there is no revision, indicate as such. Note: The latest drawing revision (Field 7) does not always affect all parts contained on a drawing.
6) Drawing Number: Drawing number associated with the FAI part.
7) Drawing Revision Level: The revision level of the engineering drawing. If there is no revision, indicate as such.
8) Additional Changes: Provide reference number(s) of any changes that are incorporated in the product but not reflected in referenced drawing/part revision level (e.g., change in design, engineering changes, manufacturing
changes, deviation or exclusion from certain drawing requirement, etc.). 9) Manufacturing Process Reference: A reference number that provides
traceability to the manufacturing record of the FAI part (e.g., router number, manufacturing plan number, etc.).
10) Organization Name: Name of the Organization performing this FAI.
12) P.O. Number: Enter Customer Purchase Order Number, if applicable or required.
13) Detail part or an Assembly FAI: Check as appropriate.
14) Full FAI or Partial FAI: Check as appropriate. For a partial FAI, provide the baseline part number (including revision level) to which this partial FAI is performed and the reason for it. For example, changes in design, process, manufacturing location, etc.
15) 16) 17) and 18): This section is required only if the part number in Field 1 is an assembly requiring lower level parts to be installed into the assembly.
15) (CR) Part Number: Detail or next level sub-assembly part number to be included in the assembly.
16) (CR) Part Name, as shown on the drawing.
17) (CR) Part Serial Number of the part that is installed in the assembly, when applicable.

SUPPLIER FIRST ARTICLE INSPECTION INSTRUCTION
Document Name:
Supplier First Article Inspection Instructions and Forms
Revision: A
Document No.:
1-4.10-FM-35
Product Accountability – Raw Materials, Specifications, and Special Process(es)Functional Testing
5) (CR) Material or Process: Enter the name of material or process.
6) (CR) Specification: Enter material or process specifications number (include permitted alternates, if used), class, and material form (e.g., sheet, bar, etc.). Include all “Make From” materials that are incorporated into the FAI part. For raw materials, include all materials that are incorporated into the FAI part, (e.g. unique identifier that will enable traceability back to the Certificate of Conformance, weld/braze filler materials, balls for ball brazing, etc.), and Standard Catalog hardware (e.g., AN, MS fasteners); but do not include processing materials such as acid etchants.
10) (CR) Certificate of Conformance number: Number of the certificate (e.g., special process completion certification, raw material test report number, Standard Catalog hardware compliance report number, traceability number.) 11) (CR) Test Procedure Number: Functional Test Procedure called out as Design
Requirement.
12) (CR) Acceptance Report Number: The functional test certification indicating that test requirements have been met.
Signature Requirements
19) Signature: name and signature of the person who prepared FAI Form. Also check appropriate box if the FAI is complete.
Note: The signature box on this form certifies the following two things:
1) That all characteristics are accounted for; meet drawing requirements or are properly documented for disposition,
2) Indicate FAI is complete or partial. 20) Date when this FAI Form was prepared. 21) Name of the person signing the form.
FAI Characteristics Accountability, Verification and Compatibility Evaluation (Form is on page 5)
5) Characteristic Number: Unique assigned number for each Design Characteristic.
8) Requirement: Specified requirement for the Design Characteristic (e.g., drawing dimensional characteristics with nominal and tolerances included, drawing notes, specification requirements, etc.)
9) Results: List measurement(s) obtained for the Design Characteristics. For Multiple Characteristics list each characteristic as individual values or
list once with the minimum and maximum or measured values attained. If a characteristic is found to be non-conforming then that characteristic must be listed separately with the measured value noted.
If a Design Requirement requires verification testing, then the actual results will be recorded on the form. If a laboratory report or certificate of test is included in the FAIR, then these results need not be written on the form, record the reference number in this field. The laboratory report or certificate of test must show specific values for requirements and actual results.
For metallurgical characteristics with visual verification requirement that are rated against standard photographs, list the photo number of the closest comparison. A statement of conformance is acceptable (record the reference number in this field).
For processes that require verification per Design Characteristic, include statement of compliance (e.g. certification of compliance, verification indicator such as “accept”, etc.)
For part marking, ensure that marking is legible, correct in content and size and properly located, per applicable specification.
9a) (CR) Accept/Reject: Use A or R to denote if the inspection is acceptable or unacceptable.
10) (CR) Designed Tooling: If a specially designed tooling (including NC programming) is used as a media of inspection, record the tool identification number.
11) (CR) Non-Conformance Number: Record a non-conformance document
reference number if the characteristic is found to be non-conforming. Records The original FAI documents will remain on file at the supplier’s facility
for seven years, unless otherwise specified by contract.
