monitor the compatibility of the IETM with the operating and presentation software of the
display device before any actual use, testing, or evaluation of operational suitability can take
place (for example, using the Government specified or contractor recommended end-user IETM
display device). In this sense the IETM cannot be approved without demonstrating its operability
with the proposed display device.

requiring activity (see.6.2) that the IETM source file be delivered to the Government, the
contractor is required to validate that the XML source file be tagged to the level and depth
required by the applicable DTD or schema and the content requirements contained in the
applicable TM development specification.

4.10.8 Adequacy review checklists. Adequacy review QA checklists are provided herein and
differ depending on the TM preparation specification used. These QA checklists may be used as
guidance for determining the adequacy, accuracy and usability of the Naval Air Systems
Command (NAVAIR) printed/PDF TMs or IETMs. QA checklists may be tailored to satisfy the
requirements of a specific TM program and TMCR. These QA checklists shall be retained as a
program and/or task record checklist.

contractor’s facility but can be held at a designated Government facility. IPR/adequacy reviews
intended for locations other than the contractor’s facility must be approved by the Government
(see 6.2). The contractor may request IPR/adequacy reviews at any time during the term of the
contract when assistance or clarification is desired. The Government will request additional
IPR/adequacy reviews when it appears the program is not proceeding according to schedule.

4.12 IPR/adequacy review records. All discrepancies/changes identified in technical data

products during the QA process that require corrective action prior to acceptance shall be

recorder and record the decisions, results, and findings during the IPR/adequacy review
evaluation utilizing the TMER.

4.13 Disposition of IPR/adequacy review findings. IPR/adequacy review findings that

involve problem areas or findings that require further evaluation shall be resolved before final
disposition. Discrepancy or deficiency found as the result of the IPR/adequacy review shall be
corrected prior to certification and acceptance of the TMs.

MIL-PRF-85337B(AS)

6.3.2.5 Engineering technical review. The action performed by engineering personnel to

ensure the technical accuracy and adequacy of the source data being utilized in the development
of the TM.

6.3.2.6 Intermediate product. Work in progress and supporting source data.

6.3.2.7 In-process review. A review of contractual requirements, technical documentation,

and TM increments which may be carried out at any time during the manual development to:

a. Evaluate the product;

b. Ensure that the technical requirement, documentation, and manual are being written
according to the applicable specifications; and

c. Correctly reflect the approved configurations of the appropriate hardware.

6.3.2.8 Operation or maintenance task. The written directions for accomplishing tasks of a
type, and in the detail appropriate to the task and the people performing the task (e.g., writers and
illustrators guide, procedural instructions, etc.).

6.3.2.9 Quality program review. A Government evaluation of quality-related data generated

by the contractor as part of the QA program. The Government evaluation determines contractor
compliance with the approved TMQA program plan. Quality program reviews evaluate the
contractor QA program and should not be confused with technical reviews of TMs (e.g., IPRs).

6.3.2.10 Quality review. A selective comparison of development processes and products

with a given set of standards or objectives.

6.3.2.11 Technical manual content and product plan. The TMCPP (formally called an

IETM functionality, if applicable, in accordance with the applicable TM specification and the
requirements provided in the TMCR.

6.3.2.12 Technical manual functionality matrix. The TM functionality matrix provides a

standard format for documenting the functional needs of the TMs for the project. The
functionality matrix is intended to allow TM programs to define their requirements in
terminology that is accepted and understood by industry. The selected functionalities will help to
ensure that contractor responses closely match the project needs with minimal misunderstanding.
For information regarding the definition of the functions provided in the functionality matrix,
refer to NAVAIRINST 4120.11.

6.3.2.13 Technical manual quality assurance program. The TMQAP is a systemic,

coordinated effort to establish a high level of confidence that the TM product offered conforms
to established, contractually defined technical requirements. A QA program includes efforts by
the procuring activity and preparing activity including IPRs, validation, and verification.

6.3.2.14 Technical manual quality assurance program plan implementation. Implementation

of the TMQA program plan should be evidenced by development of the following:

b. Review procedures and records;

c. Corrective and preventive action procedures;

d. Support for QA functions;

e. Product validation procedures including IETM functionality, if applicable; and

f. Compliance with the approved milestone dates.

6.3.2.15 Validation. Validation is the final QA iteration required of the contractor or

preparing activity during which the TM is tested for technical adequacy and accuracy and
compliance with the provisions of the specifications and other technical contractual
requirements. Validation is accomplished by actual performance of TM procedures checked
against the system or equipment for which the manual was written. Validation is normally
conducted at the preparing activity’s or vendor’s facility. In extenuating circumstances,
validation may be conducted at an operational site.

6.3.2.16 Verification. Verification is the final QA iteration by the Government for

acceptance of the TM during which the TM is tested to determine its adequacy and operational
suitability for the operation and maintenance of equipment. Verification may be tailored based
on the Government’s confidence level in the preparing activity’s QA program, compliance with
provisions of the specifications and other technical contract requirements, and effective
integration of logistic support requirements for the tasks to be performed. Verification is
conducted with production equipment and with qualified fleet personnel of the prescribed skill
level from the operating command or facility assigned to operate and maintain the equipment.
