52.211-9087 Level I Material Marking (DLA Maritime-Norfolk) (JUN 2011) - DLAD.

As prescribed in 11.304-90(e), insert the following clause in full text:

LEVEL I MATERIAL MARKING (DLA MARITIME-NORFOLK) (JUN 2011) - DLAD

(a) The following are the minimum marking requirements. Additions or alternative marking requirements, if applicable, will be specified in the procurement specification ordering data.

(b) All materials, which secure or act as pressure boundaries of Level I systems, supplied must be permanently and legibly marked in accordance with MIL-STD-792 (latest revision) unless otherwise specified in the applicable specifications or drawings.

(c) The marking will not affect the fit, form or function of the material. For welded items, the marking will be located at least 1/2 inch from the weld edge. Items prepared for silver brazing will be marked outside the ultrasonic text area.

(d) Traceability markings for items with precision machined or plated surfaces or material with a suitable marking surface of less than 3/8 square inches (i.e., 3/8" x 3/8") shall be applied to a durable tag and the tag securely affixed to the material. Mark the tag "item not permanently marked."

(e) Traceability markings shall be maintained throughout assembly, and whenever possible shall be visible after assembly. For items where marking is not visible after assembly, a durable tag shall be securely attached to the item identifying the part number, piece number, traceability code and location of the permanent mark.

(f) When traceability markings are removed by a manufacturing or fabrication process, the marking shall 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 the method of positive control to preclude commingling of heats or loss of traceability. The traceability code shall be reapplied upon completion of the final manufacturing process.

(g) Traceability marking of consumable materials (i.e. weld filler metal, silver braze alloys, etc.) shall be by label attached to each container. Each container must contain material from the same heat, lot, or batch.
