Decision was based upon the limited number of audits performed and the new AC7115 Revision B checklist being recently released. At the next meeting the Task Group requested to review Failure Criteria based upon three years of data to see how it compares with their existing data. The new agenda format was reviewed and it was preferred over the existing format.

for an independent labs (AC7122-I). How would the audit work?

o SEAL would utilize the AC7122 Base Document and any associated Slash Sheets (AC7122/1, AC7122/2, etc) to audit Elastomeric Testing that is being performed at the Captive Laboratories associated with the Elastomers part manufacturers. The SEAL TG would manage any resulting NCRs and grant AC7115 and AC7122-P accreditation accordingly.

o NMMT would also use the AC7122 Base Document and any associated Slash Sheets to audit Elastomeric Testing that is being performed at an Independent Test Lab. The NMMT Task Group would manage any resulting NCRs and grant AC7122-I accreditation accordingly.

24.2 Rolls Royce Test of AC7115 and Elastomer Seals Testing Questions

Tara Campbell provided feedback on the Rolls Royce test of the AC7115 and new AC7122 Elastomer Seals Testing questions. Generally speaking, the checklist was sound but a little jumpy in the general section. The testing lab review went well and the questions were leading into the right directions, but there were some disconnects within the standard and the labs procedures.  So the testing of the testing questions went very well.
