Request (RTR) shall be submitted to the Government for each area. The RTR shall include thorough justification. Only the Government Engineering Authority for the component can accept an RTR. Specifications and Standards Tailoring Tailoring generally is to select the applicable areas, best test methods, or for use of an equivalent requirement. Test Plan Tailoring Tailoring generally is to change the test levels and durations, sequence of tests, or reporting requirements. Tailoring shall also identify any test requirements that are to be accomplished through analysis, similarity, or inspection. MIC, Waiver, and Deviation Each RTR shall be classified as a MIC, Waiver, or Deviation. MIC. An RTR that still meets the intent of the specified technical data is classified as a Meets Intent Compliance (MIC). Waiver. If an RTR potentially increases the safety hazards, it is classified as a Waiver and must also be accepted by the cognizant Government and contractor safety offices. The intent of a Waiver is to grant temporary approval to proceed while the hazard is being corrected. A series of unlikely, unrelated simultaneous failures is not considered a hazard. Deviation. An RTR that does not increase safety hazards and is not a MIC is classified as a Deviation.
