Puposeof Tests To' aiiinsraiiformally that operational requirements in terms of effectiveneon parameters such as reliability, onaintainability, and design capability are achieved. 2. General Description Demonstration tests are performed on the major and Iterm, i~f ten at the highest system level, under realistic operational anvdenvironmental conditions. Rules arm specified for classifying failuros, performing. repairs, allowing design changes, eto.
Time lio n Inherent test parameter, The test design Is usuallIV di reced towords providing a specifiled iaconfidlence for making an appropriate decision, 3. Exramples of Specific Types of Tests A. Reliability Demonstration d. Life Tests b. Maintainability Demonstration a, Lnngavity Tests a, Availability Demonstration *4, Test Scheduling emornsitraltroontst schedules are normally oontrartw-specified, They generally occur before full-ital productIon but after Initial production, when test samples arm mvaillable. 5.

Test Documentation tontract-opoolflond oceduros or clause requiring contractor to submvit complete test plan, Test results fully docurnsnted, Including analyses and conclusion s concerning the meeting of contract goals, 7. Test Follow-Up Actions Xamcptance or rejectonm of equipment with respect to reliability, maintainability, and effectiveness goals. Failure to past demonstration tests will require appropriate design and assurance efforts on the part of the contractor, 8.
Reliability/Maintainability Provisions 0-6motrtn ttgre specifically designed to test for reliability, maintainablil~ty, and associated parameters at the equipment level, Demonstration tests may be conitinued throughout the production cycle on samples of equipment, 5, Description of Formal Demonstration d.
