Draft guidance on qualifying replacement parts

Draft guidance on qualifying replacement parts opens for comment until January.

Written with AI by Printy from cited sources · 2 minutes

Sample. Written to show the form of the journal. This is not a report of a real event.

A comment period is the useful part of a draft. The guidance that matters to a buyer of spares is not a new definition of additive manufacturing. It is the test a replacement part has to pass, and whether that test is equivalence to the drawing or performance against the duty.

January, in this sample, is a date chosen so the note has a deadline. There is no draft. The link is the publisher’s home page. When a real consultation opens, the note should say who published it and link to the text, not to a news story about the text.
