It is recognized that the structural integrity of repaired composite structures depends upon the capabilities of the individuals who are responsible for performing the repairs. This document is intended to address repairs of composite structure regardless of the type of structure such as marine, wind turbine, automotive, aircraft, or other applications. This certification standard establishes the minimum requirements for training, examining, and certifying composite structure repair personnel. It establishes criteria for the certification of personnel requiring appropriate knowledge of the technical principles underlying the composite structural repairs they perform. Persons certified under this document may be eligible for licensing or certification/ qualification by an appropriate authority, in addition to this industry accepted basic composite repair technician certification.

This is a general curriculum that has been developed to identify the minimum knowledge and skill requirements of a composite and metal bond repair technician/specialist. Teaching levels have been assigned to the curriculum to define the knowledge, skills and abilities graduates will need to make safe, effective repairs. Minimum hours of instruction have been provided to ensure adequate coverage of all subject matter - lecture and laboratory. These minimums may be exceeded, and may include an increase in the total number of training hours and/or increases in the teaching levels.

This document (Technical Specification) gives information about qualification rules and the relation between the different specification parts involved, such as the Technical Specification (TS), Material Specification (MS), and Purchasing Specification (PS). The link to the material qualification and qualified products is presented.

AMS3970/1 gives information about the technical requirements and qualification procedure for carbon fiber fabric epoxy prepreg and a companion non-structural glass prepreg used for repair of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy structures. The prepreg system may include a film adhesive to be applied in a co-curing process with the prepreg for joint and sandwich bonding. The need for a film adhesive shall be established during screening tests.

This Material Specification defines the requirements of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy prepreg for repair, 120 °C (250 °F) Vacuum curing, Plain Weave Fabric, 193 g/m2 and a companion non-structural glass fiber fabric reinforced epoxy prepreg, 105 g/m2, qualified according to AMS3970/1 and AMS3970/2 for aerospace application. The prepreg system may include an epoxy film adhesive to be applied in a co-curing process with the prepreg for joint and sandwich bonding. The need for a film adhesive shall be established during screening tests. If included, the requirements to be met by the adhesive are also defined in this document.

This is a general curriculum that has been developed to identify the minimum knowledge and skill requirements of a composite and/or metal bond repair technician/specialist. This revision changes the document from an all-inclusive curriculum into a modular set of curricula. Teaching levels have been assigned to the curriculum to define the knowledge, skills, and abilities graduates will need to make repairs to composite or metalbond structure. Minimum hours of instruction have been provided to ensure adequate coverage of all subject matter including lecture and laboratory. These minimums may be exceeded and may include an increase in the total number of training hours and/or increases in the teaching levels. Each curriculum is a subpart of this document. Part 1 is the General Composite Structure Bonded Repair curriculum, independent of the application. Part 2 is the Commercial Aircraft Composite Structure Bonded Repair curriculum.
