potentially unsafe conditions. A list of system operation set
points that represent the normal operation of the system should
be included.
g) System Maintenance. This section should describe
for supporting the facility. All components that must be
repaired by the manufacturer or depot level repair facility
should be identified. While step-by-step detailed preventive
maintenance procedures may be promulgated separately, the basic
h) System Storage and Start-up. This section should
describe all disassembly and maintenance required to place the
system in lay-up for an extended period of time. Additionally,
instructions for system start-up, after extended storage, should
be provided. These instructions should include all assembly,
maintenance and testing required to bring the system out of
storage and into an operationally ready condition.
i) System Troubleshooting. This section should
provide guidance to be used to assess the symptoms, then locate
and repair probable causes of a system malfunction. For the
procedures used to repair failed components, this section may
refer to the section on system maintenance.

Granting Initial Certification. The responsibility of the
Acquisition Manager is defined in Section 4. It is the
responsibility of the Acquisition Manager to ensure that the
system is considered certifiable prior to its transfer to a user
command. To be certifiable, the SCA must concur that all system
design, fabrication and testing has been performed
satisfactorily, in accordance with previously approved technical
specifications. In addition, all system drawings, technical
manuals, PMS and certification related documents should have been
approved and issued. Custody of an unmanned pressure test
facility will normally be transferred from the Acquisition
Manager to the user command once the SCA deems the system
certifiable but prior to granting initial system certification.
In addition, the Acquisition Manager should prepare a "turn-over
file" consisting of as-built system drawings, fabrication
records, test records, technical manuals, operating and emergency
package. The turnover file should accompany the system to the
user command.
After receipt of the system hardware and certification
documentation, the user command should take the following action:
a)
Establish a formal QA plan
b)
Initiate the preventive maintenance plan for the
system
