regularly employed in the testing and calibration of radio control systems.

Testing shall include the field tests and the performance verification

tests. Field tests shall be conducted by the Contractor to determine the

demonstration to the Government to ensure proper operation of all the

components and proper execution of the sequence of operation.

3.2.2

Submit and obtain approval of the field test plan and performance

verification test plan for each phase of testing before beginning that

phase of testing. Give to the Contracting Officer written notification of

Contractor be allowed to start testing without written Government approval

of field test plan and performance verification test plan.

Test Reporting

Before scheduling the performance verification test, furnish field test

documentation and written Certified Statement of Field Test Completion to

the Contracting Officer for approval. The statement, certified by the

radio control system provider, states that the installed system has been

tested and is ready for the performance verification test. Do not start

the performance verification test prior to receiving written permission

from the Government. During and after completion of the Field Tests, and

again after the Performance Verification Tests, identify, determine causes,

replace, or repair equipment that fails to meet the specification, and

submit a written report to the Government. Document all tests with

detailed test results. Explain in detail the nature of each failure and
