Practice:
Subject potentially sensitive flight assemblies that contain electronic equipment or mechanical devices, as well as entire flight systems, to pyrotechnic shock (pyroshock) as part of a development, acceptance, protoflight, or qualification test program. Perform visual inspection and functional verification testing before and after each pyroshock exposure. Where feasible, perform assemblylevel and system-level pyroshock tests with the test article powered and operational to better detect intermittent failures.
