s) and dispositions of nonconforming items to use as is or repair are to be subjected to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design and approved by the organization that performed the original design or a qualified designate. g. Interface controls (internal and external between participating design organizations and across technical disciplines) for the purpose of developing, reviewing, approving,, releasing, distributing, and revising design inputs and outputs are to be. defined. h. Design records, maintained to provide evidence that the design was properly accomplished, are to include not only the final design output and revisions to the final output, but also the important design steps (calculations, analyses, and computer programs, for example) and the sources of input that support the final output. 3. Design Verification a. A program is to be established and implemented to verify the acceptability of design activities and documents. Design inputs, processes, outputs, and changes are to be verified. b. Verification methods include, but are not limited to, design reviews, alternative calculations, and qualification testing. c. When a test program is used to verify the .acceptability of a specific design feature, the test program is to demonstrate acceptable performance under conditions that simulate the most adverse design conditions that are expected to be encountered. d. Independent design verification is to be completed before design outputs are used by other organizations for design work and before they are used to support other activities such as procurement, manufacture, or construction. When this timing cannot be achieved, the unverified portion of the design is to be identified and controlled. In all cases, the design verification is to be completed before relying on the item to perform its function and before its installation becomes irreversible (requiring extensive demolition or rework). e. In exceptional
