608 Procedure for Resolving Failures

608.1 Failures
When a Sampled Feature fails a Threshold Specification, Sampling of that Feature must stop.

All Failures shall be corrected and re-inspected and/or retested until they meet their Threshold Specifications.

At any time, a given Sampled Feature is permitted to be removed from Sampling and every remaining instance shall be verified.

608.2 Requalifying for Sampling
Once a Sampled Feature fails, it must requalify for Sampling by successfully being verified to meet the Threshold Specification for three (3) consecutive Sampled Features.

Once a Feature requalifies for Sampling, that Feature may continue being Sampled until a Failure occurs.

Additional Verifications performed as a result of Failures shall not count toward the required 20%.

608.3 Documenting Failures
The following items shall be documented and reported if required by program, code, or project representative. Failure reports must be maintained in the Raters records for 3 years.

i. Failed Feature, date, location, and result

ii. Date, location, and results of requalification for Sampling
