FORM 1 - PART NUMBER ACCOUNTABILITY FORM INSTRUCTIONS
This form is used to identify the product that is having the First Article Inspection (FAI) conducted on (e.g., detail part, sub-
assembly, assembly); referred to as “FAI part”.
NOTE: Data fields 1 thru 4 are repeated on all forms for convenience and traceability. Any subsequent changes to “data
fields” 1 thru 4 need to be made to all pages.
1. (R)
Part Number
:
Number of
the
FAI
part
[e.g., customer part number contained on the purchasing documents; part
number from the associated Bill of Materials (BOM); manufacturer part number for internal parts, when customer
part number is not available].
2. (R) Part Name:
Name of the FAI part.
3. (CR) Serial Number: Serial number of the FAI part; unique identifier assigned to a detail part, sub-assembly, or
assembly by the organization or customer.
4. (CR) FAIR Number: Reference number that identifies the First Article Inspection Report (FAIR); this may be an internal
report number.
5. (CR) Part Revision Level: Latest revision that affects the FAI part being inspected. If the part has not been revised,
indicate as such (e.g., N/C, No Change).
NOTE: The latest drawing or DPD revision (see field 7) does not always affect all parts contained on a drawing
or DPD.
6. (CR) Drawing Number: Drawing number or DPD data set associated with the FAI part; drawing may be from customer,
internal system, or design definition.
7. (CR) Drawing Revision Level: The revision level of the drawing or DPD data set associated with the FAI part. If the
drawing has not been revised, indicate as such (e.g., N/C, No Change).
8. (CR) Additional Changes: Provide reference numbers of any changes that are incorporated in the product, but not
reflected in referenced drawing/part revision level (e.g., change in design, engineering changes, manufacturing
changes, deviation or exclusion from certain drawing or DPD requirements).
9. (R) Manufacturing Process Reference: Reference number that provides traceability to the manufacturing record of
the FAI part (e.g., router number, manufacturing plan number). Additional information such as lot number, batch
number, date code, or line number may be included, as needed, to provide traceability to the specific
manufacturing lot.
10. (R) Organization Name: Name of the organization performing the FAI.
11. (O) Supplier Code: A unique number given by customer to the organization; sometimes referred to as Vendor Code,
Vendor Identification Number, or Supplier Number.
12. (O) P.O. Number: Customer purchase order number, if applicable.
13. (R) Detail Part / Assembly FAI: Check, as appropriate.
14. (R) Full FAI / Partial FAI: Check, as appropriate.
For a partial FAI, provide the previous part number, including revision level to which this partial FAI is performed
and the reason for the current FAI (e.g., changes in design, process, or manufacturing location). For partial FAIs
based on similar parts (reference 9102, 4.6), provide the approved configuration FAI part number, including
revision level.
