after repair still does not completely conform to all of the applicable drawings, specifications, or contract requirements. Repair must be authorized by the Government typically via temporary configuration management change (RFD/RFW/RFV). The source of the authorization must be annotated on the ADC. All lots or quantities thereof which are repaired will be identified by the assignment of an ammunition lot number suffix in accordance with the provision of this standard. This could apply at the manufacturing activity's facility prior to Government acceptance if the Government so decides. This addition is necessary to ensure that any changes or variations are clearly and readily identified.
3.2.30 Rework. The process of screening or replacing one or more nonconforming, faulty, or deteriorated components for an end item of issue with similar components of the same nomenclature and model number, returning the item to a fully conforming condition. In addition, reprocessing of propellant lots, repackaging, inspection, screening, and radiographic examination will be considered as rework operations. In some instances, economics or other factors may permit a maintenance operation to be designated as a rework when components of different nomenclatures or model numbers are used to replace the original components or the end item purpose and function may have been altered. All lots or quantities thereof which are reworked will be identified by the assignment of an ammunition lot number suffix in accordance with the provisions of this standard. This could apply at the manufacturing activity's facility prior to Government acceptance if the Government so decides. This addition is necessary to ensure that any changes or variations are clearly and readily identified. Typically rework procedures are reviewed and approved by the Government prior to implementation.
3.2.31 Serial number. A unique alpha-numeric code assigned for identification and traceability of a single unit or item within a lot. The order of serial numbers is dependent on the manufacturing activity's assembly processes.
3.2.32 Sustainment activity. Within this standard, the term sustainment activity will be used to identify the wide variety of activities which perform sustainment actions on ammunition components, assemblies, or complete rounds. The activities include: GOGO facilities, GOCO facilities, COCO facilities, field activities, program offices, depots, plants, and arsenals. Sustainment actions include: renovating, reworking, repairing, overhauling, regrouping, blending, re-blending, applying lot identifier codes, and applying theater indicator codes.
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
4.1 Ammunition lot number - overview.
4.1.1 Ammunition lot number description and use. Lot numbers shall be used for all ammunition end items and their major components, including inert, dummy, or non- energetic items and components.
