Issuing Committee: AMS J Aircraft Maintenance Chemicals and Materials Committee

Publisher: SAE International

Pages: 6

Rationale: There is a close relationship between part cleaning and most non-destructive inspection techniques. The FAA requested SAE Committee J to develop and issue a training guideline for chemical process operators in the parts cleaning area as this is generally considered unskilled labor and in the past, little or no training had been provided or recommended. Since overhaul cleaning is a critical process step prior to visual and fluorescent penetrant inspection processes, consideration must be given to minimum levels of training for these process operators. The FAA plans to refer to this document in future shop audits of the parts cleaning areas.
