Section 2:
THE SYSTEM CERTIFICATION PROCESS
2.1
Introduction. This section explains the major events
during the system certification process and provides information
for assisting the applicant in preparing the required documents
(refer to Appendix C). Figure 1 represents the sequence of the
major events and identifies whether the action is the
responsibility of the SCA or the applicant. The Glossary defines
the terms used throughout the certification process. These
definitions should be reviewed before proceeding with the
remainder of this document.
2.2
Application for System Certification. The
certification process begins when the applicant submits a letter
to the Commander, NAVFACENGCOM, in standard DOD format,
requesting certification of his or her unmanned pressure test
facility. The application should include the following items:
a)
Identification of the applicant and a point of
contact
b)
General system description
c)
Desired system use, type of intended testing
The SCA should respond to the application, making comments as
appropriate, and request funding and request submission of the
following documents:
a)
Scope of Certification (SOC)
b)
Milestone Event Schedule (MES)
c)
System drawings
2.2.1
Scope of Certification (SOC). The applicant should
submit a detailed list of all portions of the system and its
ancillary equipment, which are expected to fall within the SOC as
defined in the Glossary. The SOC boundaries will be approved or
modified by the SCA.
As an aid in defining the SOC, especially for complex systems,
the applicant is referred to the hazard analysis techniques
described in the Hazard Analysis section of MIL-STD-882, System
Safety Program Requirements. Additional guidance is provided by
the hazard categories defined in par. 2.2.2 and Figure 2.
