| 4.4.4.7-5-1 Ensure qualification test plans are assessed |
Phase B |
Phase C |
|
Ensure tests are performed to demonstrate that the design of the device or system meets the specified requirements and environmental test levels and durations are established to provide margin over actual flight levels and durations. Qualification test matrices should be included as part of the test plan. Criteria outlined in the referenced standard are a composite of those verified by previous use in space and launch vehicle applications. Described are essential qualification criteria to ensure all components and systems have passed the margin and qualification tests. Storage, packaging, handling and transportation environments should either be included in qualification testing or controlled to within the max predicted levels used to determine qualification requirements.

| 4.4.4.7-5-2 Ensure performance margin test plans are complete |
Phase B |
Phase C |
|
Ensure energy transfer performance margins are conducted on all elements where transfer across a discontinuity or gap is required. Margins for severing and penetrating devices should be demonstrated using nominal charges. Details of test requirements are found in in the referenced specification. Demonstrations of barrier performance and barrier position indicators should be conducted by tests or analyses or both. Performance margin verification methods for explosively actuated devises are detailed in the referenced specification.
