2.1.5-14-1 Ensure scope of Hardware Acceptance Review is defined Phase A | Phase B | Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure scope definition includes identifying which units will undergo a HAR, what data will be made available (i.e., Level 1 or Level 2), and determining the depth of the review, which will be dependent on data availability.

2.1.5-14-2 Ensure Hardware Acceptance Review planning is performed Phase A | Phase B | Phase C | Planning for HAR includes timing, agreed upon risk criteria, and meeting rules of engagement. Depending on the acquisition phase, Level 1 and Level 2 data requirements can be included in the contract data requirements list (CDRL). NA NA Mission Assurance Guide, TOR-2007(8546)-6018, Rev B, Quality Assurance Chapter
2.1.5-14-3 Ensure personnel assigned for Hardware Acceptance Reviews are qualified Phase C | Phase D1 | Ensure appropriate program office personnel assigned to perform unit level HARs; personnel should be familiar with design, development, and test of specific hardware. Composition of the review team may have a variety of disciplines including expertise in quality and the subject matter associated with the unit(s) under review.

2.1.5-14-4 Ensure Hardware Acceptance Reviews are conducted appropriately Phase D1 | The intent of the review is to document the chronological "story" of the unit from the start of the build process to final acceptance. Analysis of functional and physical non-conformance reports to assess whether true root cause has been determined is a critical part of the review process. NA NA Mission Assurance Guide, TOR-2007(8546)-6018, Rev B, Quality Assurance Chapter
2.1.5-14-5 Ensure reporting of Hardware Acceptance Review results Phase D1 | A summary report of the HAR findings should be generated and include a unit risk assessment. The risk assessment is based in part upon dispositions of nonconformances, out-of-family conditions, test environments, unverified failures, deviations, handling or storage problems or conditions, and missing Level 1 or Level2 data. Perceived shortcomings are investigated. The format may be charts, spreadsheet, or a more formal report depending on scope, program, or customer.
