This document (echnical 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. This document is only applicable to epoxy or modified epoxy resin prepreg systems used for repair of carbon fiber composite structures and companion non-structural glass fiber prepreg. Generally, an epoxy or modified epoxy resin film adhesive will be part of the prepreg system for co-cure bonding applications.
