The Manufacture Qualification Requirements (MQR) document outlines the necessary qualifications for manufacturers of Propulsion Critical Safety Items (CSI) and Critical Application Items (CAI) to receive approval from the Engineering Support Activity (ESA) within the U.S. Air Force. Key elements include the need for a valid Company Profile, submission of a Source Approval Request (SAR), and accompanying technical data. Manufacturers must adhere to strict documentation formats, which includes a Self-Assessment Checklist and a Quality Assurance Certification. The SAR process is further divided into subject item and demonstration packages for evaluation.
