Certified Mutilation and Destruction

Our Mutilation Program

Mastermelt Aero follows strict and documentable procedures with regard to mutilation and destruction of our customers’ material.

Features of our program include:

• Mutilation will be in accordance to FAA AC 21-43A Appendix D
• All customer-provided written procedures will be maintained at our facility for a minimum of four years from the last transaction
• Each mutilation transaction will be verified and documented to ensure compliance to both customer specifications and our own internal procedures
• Audits of our internal documentation will be carried out on a semi-annual basis
• Annual review of FAA policy for any changes related to our industry

Additionally, a unique Certificate of Destruction will be provided to our customers for each lot or sorted sub-lot. This Certificate of Destruction certifies that the mutilation and recycling of these materials has been accomplished. Mastermelt Aero will maintain these records at our facility for a minimum of four years.

Methods

Any incoming material that our customers deem “potentially usable” will be mutilated beyond its original use by one of the following methods:

• Plasma Torch / Arc Air notching or critical gouging
• Cutting using an Oxy-Acetylene torch
• Cutting using a chop saw that will deem the part unusable

The choice of method of mutilation will depend upon the customer’s requirements and specific part size.
Additionally, no un-mutilated material will be left in an unlocked or unattended area at any time.
