The cosmetic Reference Standard defined in this specification is to be used for training personnel and may be used to assist in making an accept/reject decision. 2.2 Process Control Manufacturing steps which might affect finished part appearance shall be prepared to enable compliance with this cosmetic specification. 2.3 Viewing Conditions. All parts and products shall be inspected under the following conditions:- a) Uniform non-directional illumination between 80 and 150 foot-candles should be used for normal inspection viewing condition at light levels greater than 150 foot-candles, caution should be used to not over-inspect. b) Viewing distance shall be 400mm (16") or 450mm (18") or 600mm (24") as per specified by surface class. c) Viewing angle by eyes-level @ 45 ± 15 for the light source. d) Inspection shall be conducted using the unaided eye. e) Magnification is not to be used when inspecting cosmetic defects. 2.4 Time and Distance Inspection. "Viewing Time" indicates the duration of the observation. The more critical the cosmetic surface, the longer the inspection period. "Viewing Distance" indicates how far the inspector will be from the parts. The more critical the cosmetic surface, the closer the inspector will be to the parts. Parts shall be inspected in accordance with instructions and codes on the part drawing. If the drawing references this specification the codes will reference Table I "Viewing Time and Distance". On drawings referencing this specification, surfaces not cosmetically coded shall be considered IIIC. 2.5 Cosmetic Nomenclature and Grading A code that consists of a Roman numeral (category) and an alpha character (class) designate the cosmetic requirement for a surface. Cosmetic surfaces are ranked first by the final location on the part/product and then secondly by the frequency that an end-user views the part/product surface.

Document Reference: MISB-MACIS-Rev (1) Page 3 of 13 The definitions for category and class are indicated as below: Category Description Class Observation Frequency I External Windows A Usually Viewed II External s B Seldom Viewed III Internal s C Not Visible D Structural 2.5.1 Category "I" is used exclusively for critical areas of clear windows (areas continuously viewed by an end-user when operating the end product).. 2.5.2 Category "II" is generally specified for front panels or exterior surfaces of an assembly. Class "II-A" would indicate a very critical surface, where "II-B" might be used to indicate an important surface, but less so than "II-A" & "II-C" would indicate not critical whereby the surface might be hidden or not visible after assembly. 2.5.3 Category "III" is generally specified for interior frames and chassis not visible in the final assembly. Although it could be visible during installation or maintenance. 2.5.4 The lowest cosmetic designation would be "III-D", which is basically "no requirement" for beauty. Table 1.

N/A Note: Class I-A, II-A & II-B surfaces shall be manipulated during inspection to achieve maximum reflection of a light source. Class II-C, III-B & III-C surfaces shall NOT be manipulated during inspection.

Document Reference: MISB-MACIS-Rev (1) Page 4 of 13 Viewing Conditions for I-A, I II-A & II-B. Light Source = 80 ~ 150 Foot Candles at Part Inspection Time I-A & II-A = 10 Seconds II-B = 5 Seconds Part Viewing Angle = 45 ± 15 Viewing Distance I-A = 400mm (16") II-A & II-B = 450mm (18") Manipulate Viewing Conditions for II-C, III-B & III-C. Light Source = 80 ~ 150 Foot Candles at Part Inspection Time III-B = 5 Seconds II-C & III-C = 3 Seconds Part Viewing Angle = 45 ± 15 Viewing Distance III-B = 450mm (18") II-C & III-C = 600mm (24") Do NOT Manipulate 2.6 Accept/ Reject Decision. When flaws are observed within the specified time and distance and the accept/reject decision is difficult to make, refer to Cosmetic Reference Standard Table. Parts are often cosmetically acceptable even though flaws are noticeable.

Document Reference: MISB-MACIS-Rev (1) Page 5 of 13 2.7 Repetitive Inspection. A flaw that occurs repeatedly in the same surface location becomes more easily noticed. If this same cosmetic flaw was judged acceptable at the beginning of the run or lot inspection it shall also be acceptable at the end. 2.8 Reference Dimensions Dimension locating cosmetic areas designated by phantom lines are "reference" and should not be measured. 3.0 Cosmetic Inspection Specification for Sheet Metal Parts. Table 2 lists flaws typically found on sheet metal parts. This table constitutes the reference standard of cosmetic acceptability.
