We received an "Observation" written under AC7108 'C' para 5.4.4.2. "Are SAT's perfromed upon installation and are periodic tests performed Biweekly thereafter unless a different interval is specified by AMS 2750 or customer requirements".
Our oven is used for Embrittlement Relief only and under AMS 2750 para 3.4.1.2.5 it states "If a furnace is used only for embrittlement relief, the frequency may be reduced to semiannually (for SAT's).
We have stated that we use the oven for only ER, we do the SAT's semiannually. I am on my 3rd go around trying to get this OBSERVATION closed.
I believe they are going to make us do the biweekly SAT's or get out of the Temper Etch business.
Any suggestions?
