1.0 Purpose
To establish a system and documentation requirements for first article inspection.
2.0 Scope
This procedure applies to first article inspections performed to support activities at the facilities of
[Company Name].
4.0 Responsibilities
4.2 Engineering
Engineering is responsible for evaluating the impact on design of nonconformities found during
first article inspection, for recommending ways to resolve nonconformities, and for reviewing and
approving any changes to design documentation resulting from resolution of nonconformities.
4.4 Purchasing
Purchasing is responsible for communicating the requirement for first article inspection and the
results of first article inspection to the vendor, and for coordinating with the vendor resolution of
any nonconformities found during first article inspection.

First Article Inspection Data Sheet
When the criteria for performing first article inspection is met, Quality Assurance, Engineering,
Manufacturing Engineering, and Purchasing are notified. These four functions jointly decide to
perform or waive first article inspection and/or trial assembly. If first article inspection and trial
assembly are waived by all four functions, this procedure terminates. Otherwise, first article
inspection and/or trial assembly is performed according to this procedure.
First article inspection is passed if all inspected attributes are within design tolerance limits for
those attributes.
First article inspection is failed if any inspected attribute is outside of design tolerance limits for
that attribute.
design to conform to the item (use-as-is). For an item with multiple nonconforming attributes,
one or both of these methods may be used to bring the entire item into conformance with the
design.
Fabricate new items and perform another first article inspection per "Performing First
Article Inspection," above.
Compare revised design documentation to the first article inspection results to assure
that the item now passes first article inspection per "Review of First Article Inspection
Results, Pass/Fail Criteria," above.
If trial assembly is selected, Quality Assurance coordinates trial assembly and records results. If
problems are not encountered during trial assembly, Quality Assurance notifies Engineering,
Manufacturing Engineering, and Purchasing of the results, and this procedure is complete.
If problems are encountered during trial assembly, Engineering will lead the effort to resolve
those problems. Design changes will be made as necessary, new parts will be fabricated, and first
article inspection and trial assembly will be performed using the new parts to assure problems
have been resolved.
