Question #37: Subject: IA verifications Reference: Paragraph: Page Attachment 2 2H166 MCAT PRF140035 06Feb15 4.3.3 IA verifications 91 Question/Comment: IA verifications take place during most verification events (Table I), will there be tool/scanner version cutoff dates associated with each event? This would preclude a new release a very short time prior to the scheduled event and ensure there is sufficient time to resolve newly found issues. Response: Yes, there will be a cutoff or "freeze" date for the version of the scan tool to be used. The exact timeframe will be identified as part of the IPT.
