SECTION B
shelf life of 12 month (extendable) applies to this item.
. This material is qualified to specification LB0130-128 per the Boeing Approved Source List for the spec. LB0130-128 lists the following shelf-life guidance in sections 3.1.5 (Frozen Storage Shelf Life) and 4.8 (Revalidation of Frozen Storage Shelf Life): 3.1.5: “When packaged, shipped and preserved in accordance with Section 5 of this specification, the material shall be capable of meeting the requirements of this specification after a period of twelve (12) months storage at a temperature of zero-degrees (0F) maximum” 4.8: “Material exceeding the twelve (12) month from date of manufacture frozen storage shelf life (ref 3.1.6) may be revalidated for an additional frozen storage shelf life period of six (6) months.
Revalidation shall be based on a sample of the eligible material meeting the requirements specified in paragraphs 4.4.1-f (Gel time) and 4.7.5 Interlaminar shear at room temperature and 350F +/10F). Extension of shelf life is based on the date of completion of tests.”
Reference section 3.1.6 is for “Room Temperature Storage” – believe this is a typo.
4.8.1 Revalidation is performed at the sole risk of the Purchaser. 4.8.2 Revalidation testing, as specified above, for additional periods beyond the initial six (6) month revalidation period may be performed. With conforming test results, the additional period shall be three (3) months.
