A signed and dated certificate of compliance is issued and archived. The Premium Grade 1 strips are identified by a batch control number for traceability.

Grade 1S Special Grade
(Meets SAE AMS 2432B)
Types A-1S, N-1S, C-1S

In addition to requirements for Premium Grade 1, the Grade 1S strips are inspected to ±.0005 flatness tolerance of the Aerospace Materials Specification AMS 2432B. A signed and dated certificate of compliance is issued and archived.
