Does a DSCC inspection/audit replace the NAVAIR plant inspection?
No, NAVAIR does not accept the DSCC inspection/audit as an official inspection. The manufacturer must have the inspection completed by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Quality Assurance Representative (QAR). A DSCC audit is more of a global audit; the DCMA specifically looks for how the product was assembled and a quality assurance program conforming to the requirements of MIL-I-45208 is operational and effective.
