Aircraft Guys - Assembly and Repair Rules?

[1990C4S]

I assume there must be some stringent standards in place for workplace cleanliness, storing parts, installing new parts, etc.

Where can they be found on the web? I am looking for 'assembly procedures' to make sure parts aren't mixed up, parts aren't missed, benches don't have 'other parts' that might get mixed up with the originals etc.

Anyone have a link or a source? My boss has asked me to implement some similar rules for our tool assemblers.

With regard to shop cleanliness, etc, you would be surprised how bad some aircraft repair facilities look. The regulations are pretty vague in that area, requiring "adequate facilities" for the work.

However the FAA inspector handbooks and manuals may have more detailed requirements.
They can be accessed here: Flight Standards Information System (FSIMS)

This is the specific one for evaluating the facilities of a repair station:

Pretty broad question you are asking..... Essentially when working on aircraft one must do the work in according with FAA approved documentation. Basically the most important thing for me is using checklists to perform inspections and to closely follow approved manuals/data when performing maintenance/repairs. I am sure some larger shops have their own "rules" for how they organize spare parts and store tools, but that kind of stuff is not regulated by the FAA.

The Military uses a tool check in / out system and limited parts on hand. If a tool doesn't get checked back in after maintenance, the aircraft does not fly until it is found. All parts are tagged with tons of info.

Okay, thanks. I thought it was regulated.
