scope:

This standard describes the engineering process for developing the content of shipboard industrial test procedures for equipment and systems.

Applicability. This standard is intended to be used by either contractor or Navy organizations in the development of industrial test procedures for shipboard equipment and systems. It applies to test procedures used during initial installation, after repair or modification, and after extended shutdown periods. The standard applies to test procedures used during ship construction, modernization, overhauls, and restricted availabilities. Unless specifically invoked by the program manager in the Overhaul Work Package, this instruction is not invoked on in-service availabilities undergoing work at maintenance shipyards. The Naval Supervisory Activity (NSA) has the responsibility to ensure and implement an adequate test program. In-Service Submarine Non-Propulsion Electronics Systems (NPES) and Hull, Mechanical & Electrical (HM&E) test procedures are exempted from this standard and are governed by the following policies:

a. NAVSEA T9SSN-W4-GYD-010, Standardized Test Program Manual (TPM) SSN Submarines

b. NAVSEA TL710-AD-MAN-010/SSBN/SSGN, 726 CL Ohio Class Submarine Test Program Manual (TPM)

The above references serve as the vehicle for the publication, dissemination, and maintenance of in-service submarine test requirements.

intended Use:

This standard is intended to be used by either contractor or Navy organizations in the development of industrial test procedures for shipboard equipment and systems.
