TRACEABILITY MARKING ________________________________________________ (marking on finished item) IS FABRICATED FROM RAW MATERIAL IDENTIFIED TO HEAT/LOT NUMBER ______________ AND HEAT TREAT NUMBER _____________________ (when applicable) _________________________________________ DATE _____________________ (name and signature of auth. co. rep.) 3.24.3 Material certification data forwarded by the manufacturer must contain a signed certification that the report results represent the actual attributes of the material furnished and indicate full compliance with all applicable specification and contract requirements. Transcription of certification data is prohibited. 3.24.4 Statements on material certification documents must be positive and unqualified. Disclaimers such as "to the best of our knowledge" or "we believe the information contained herein is true" are not acceptable. 3.24.5 If material is received without the required certification papers or with incorrect/missing data on the certification papers, the material will be rejected. 3.25 Material Handling - The written material control process must include the following: 3.25.1 All raw materials must have traceability markings (except as specified below). 3.25.2 Stored raw materials requiring traceability must be segregated to preclude intermingling with materials not requiring traceability. 3.25.3 When traceability markings will be removed by a manufacturing or fabrication process, the marking must be recorded prior to removal and be immediately restored upon completion of the process. If this cannot be done or is impractical, an appropriate material control procedure (such as a bag and tag, tagging, and/or tote box control) must be employed. The material control procedure must provide a method of positive control to preclude commingling of heats/lots or loss of traceability. The traceability marking must be reapplied upon completion of the final manufacturing process. 3.25.4 Brazing or weld filler metals for strength welds forming or integral with pressure containing components or assemblies requiri...
