    The document outlines the procedures for First Article Testing (FAT) specifically for the approval of contractor testing related to the manufacturing of a radiator (Part Number 12637820). It specifies a requirement for four samples to be produced and consumed during testing. The term "First Article" replaces the previously used term “INITIAL PRODUCTION APPROVAL” in all relevant documentation. The contractor is tasked with compiling a First Article Test Report (FATR) that details all inspections and tests conducted, including any relevant inspection records from suppliers and vendors. The report must include actual measurements, test data, certifications, and a narrative that enables a designated Government representative to assess whether the First Article Test was completed successfully. The FATR must be comprehensive enough to provide clear evidence of compliance with all applicable specifications and standards. This document is essential for ensuring quality assurance and facilitating the government’s oversight of contractor production and testing standards as part of federal RFP processes.
