Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-31000B ISO/IEC 12207. b. Documentation for firmware imbedded in the hardware defined in the TDP or SIE related to the hardware shall be prepared in accordance with ISO/IEC 12207. 5.4.6 Special Packaging Instructions (SPI) engineering design data and associated lists. Special packaging instructions, engineering design data and associated lists shall be prepared to provide the data required to manufacture special packaging which is mandatory to successfully protect, store and transport the item.
The special packaging shall be defined in detail to the extent necessary for a competent manufacturer to produce packaging which duplicates the performance characteristics of the original packaging. Packaging requirements and data shall be required for the end item, and any other related item designated for separate storage or transportation (e.g. spare and repair components to the end item) or as specified in the contract. 5.4.7 Quality Assurance Provisions (QAPs). QAPs shall be prepared to identify any special test, inspections, measurements or certifications required to ensure the item being defined meets its intended performance.
Form and format of the quality assurance provision shall be as required in the contract. 5.5 Preparation and management. 5.5.1 Use of Government and non-Government standardization documents. TDP documents shall not be prepared or submitted that contain requirements already defined by existing standardization documents, if these standardization documents are available in the Acquisition Streamlining and Standardization Information System (ASSIST) (https://assist.dla.mil/online/start/) or from the independent societies governing the documents. Reference these documents instead.
When the requirements in such standardization documents do not completely fulfill the requirements of an item, the standardization document shall be referenced, and the TDP element shall describe the variations necessary to fulfill the requirements. 5.5.1.1 Use of international and foreign standardization documents. International Standardization Organization/International Electro-technical Commission (ISO/IEC) standardization documents adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for use in the United States may be used to define requirements on TDP documents.
Other national standardization documents of foreign countries shall not be used without the approval of the procuring activity. The use of international and foreign standardization documents in multinational programs subject to a memorandum of understanding between governments shall be governed by the terms of that agreement. 5.5.2 Reference documents. Documents referenced in a TDP element shall be furnished as part of that element, with the exception of those specified in 5.5.2.1. The following types of documents shall not be referenced in a TDP element:
technical manuals, procedural manuals, maintenance manuals, company drafting or process manuals, management plans, uncontrolled documents or unreleased documents. When information essential to meeting the content of a TDP element (such as default surface texture values, test procedures, assembly requirements, etc.) is contained within such prohibited documents, that information shall be extracted from the reference document and included in the TDP. 5.5.2.1 ASSIST and non-Government standardization documents.
Referenced documents such as Government and non-Government standardization documents which are available in ASSIST or from the issuing non-Government standards body (such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)) do not need to be submitted as part of a TDP element. 5.5.3 Existing data. Existing data shall be used when possible, provided this existing data meets the 18
