C. Testing and Inspection

C 100 General
101 The certification principles are described in Ch.2 Sec.2. The principles of manufacturing survey
arrangement (MSA) is described in Ch.2 Sec.2 C100.

It is advised to establish an MSA with sub-suppliers delivering materials or parts mentioned in 200 and 300. This
applies also to those documented by work certificate (W) and test report (TR), and should at least verify that the
premises for using W and TR are fulfilled.
