Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com information, to report shipping-type (item) and packaging discrepancies attributable to the shipper, including contrac- tors/manufacturers or vendors. (see DLAI 4140.55/AR 735–11–2/SECNAVINST 4355.18A/AFJMAN 23–215). Chapter 4 Project Information Exchange 4–1. Project requirements a. Packaging project information will be maintained and exchanged as outlined in this regulation. b. For the purpose of packaging project information exchange, a project is any planned workload involving 160 or more man-hours including all support functions.
This entails research, development, testing, or evaluation that may result in new or improved packaging concepts, methods, procedures, or materials. Excluded are internal procedures, suggestions, briefings, and presentations. 4–2. Reporting requirements a. Completed packaging project reports will be submitted to the Director, Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), ATTN: DTIC–ODR, Suite 0944, 8725 John J. Kingman Road, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060–6218, for inclusion in their files using SF Form 298 (Report Documentation Page). Reports of a classified nature are exempt from this requirement. b.
Packaging test activities will submit UN PACKAGING TEST Reports for HAZMAT, documenting container compliance with UN requirements, in accordance with DLAD 4145.41/AR 700–143/AFJI 24–210/NAVSUPINST 4030.55B/MCO 4030.40B. This requirement includes test reports for ammunition and explosives. Chapter 5 DOD Container Design Retrieval System 5–1. CDRS theory a. The DOD Container Design Retrieval System (CDRS) provides a centralized, automated system for storing, retrieving, and analyzing designs and related test information of existing reusable shipping and storage containers. These design assets are checked for reuse in new programs.
The CDRS Management Office (MO) has personnel, facilities and authority to provide CDRS service to all DOD development or procurement activities. The CDRS/MO is located at the Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), Precision Strike Systems Program Office (SPO). The address is ASC/WMGC, 102 West D Avenue, Suite 168, Eglin AFB, FL 32542–6807. b. The purpose of CDRS is to avoid duplication in container designs, minimize the number if new container designs are being developed, and promote reuse of existing DOD reusable containers for new item development and procure- ment.
A reusable container is designed to support and protect its contents while in transportation, storage, and/or handling or to protect personnel from hazardous contents. Its design may also incorporate features that facilitate more effective transportation, storage, or handling. Other characteristics of these containers include— (1) Energy-damping systems, temperature control systems, and humidity or pressure control capability. (2) Engineering drawings that define materials, dimensions, form, fit, function, fabrication, or assembly. (3) An original design effort for the modification of an existing or standard container design.
(4) A service life equaling the life of the item it is designed to protect. (5) Exterior materials made of metal, plastic, synthetics, or composite materials. c. Reusable containers also include containers whose drawings are prepared in SPI format as in MIL–STD–2073–1 and other packaging systems described by illustrations, sketches, figures, or drawings in specifications or technical orders. Containers described by narrative SPIs are not included in this description. 5–2. CDRS objectives a. Provide a uniform means of identifying, recording, and retaining technical and management information on reusable containers. b.
Provide in-depth review of technical data on existing container designs and surplus availability to determine their reusability in new defense systems acquisitions or existing programs. c. Prevent reusable containers from being disposed of as excess property before determining their possible use in new or existing programs. d. Promote and support competitive use of DOD design, engineering, prototyping, and development capabilities. These capabilities will serve as a preferred source for container development or modification. 6 AR 700–15/NAVSUPINST 4030.28E/AFJMAN 24–206/MCO 4030.33E/DLAR 4145.7 • 12 January 2004
