MSE Primer and Overview 20241219.docx
Jan 21, 2025, 5:06 PM UTC
The CDRL Measurement System Evaluation (MSE) document provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating Acceptance Inspection Equipment (AIE), Automated Acceptance Inspection Equipment (AAIE), and other measurement systems to ensure compliance with contract and quality assurance requirements. AIE encompasses various tools utilized for product inspections, where gage accuracy is critical, and must meet set standards. AAIE refers to automated systems where a high reliability rate of 99.8% is required for detecting non-conformance. Mandatory calibration standards under ISO or ANSI are specified to maintain equipment integrity. The document also emphasizes the importance of a detailed Master List correlating inspection characteristics with methods and equipment. Submissions must include documentation for equipment calibration, tool control measures, and non-destructive testing (NDT) practices, adhering to recognized standards. Additionally, concept designs for AAIE systems must be submitted for government approval before fabrication, and a structured testing process with government oversight is necessary. This systematic approach aims to ensure that all measurement systems used in government contracts are reliable, accurate, and compliant with established quality standards, supporting effective inspections and overall product integrity.
