w/CHANGE 1
3.28 Test method standard. A standard that specifies procedures or criteria for measuring, identifying, or evaluating qualities, characteristics, performance, and properties of a product or process.
3.29 Type. A term that implies differences in like items or processes as to design model, shape, or other configuration, which is usually designated by Roman numerals, such as "type I" or "type II."
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
4.1 General. This section covers general aspects of style, format, and requirements for preparing a DoD standard.
4.2 Coverage. A standard shall be prepared to describe essential technical requirements for engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes, or practices. To the greatest extent possible, standards shall be written so that commercial practices and processes may be used to meet the requirement, and requirements should be stated in terms of desired outcomes as opposed to detailed procedures.
4.2.1 Tailoring of requirements. Standards shall be written and structured so that referenced documents, requirements, and verification provisions can be readily tailored to suit different applications. If possible, standards should be written in a sectionalized format to facilitate tailoring and selective application of requirements. The following are options that may be used to sectionalize standards:
a. Group common requirements under different classifications in the body of the standard (see 5.7.2).
b. Group common requirements in different appendixes (see 5.14).
c. Establish individual tasks, requirements, or test methods (see 5.11.1). d. Develop a standard that is divided into separate parts (see 5.16).
4.3 Data requirements. Standards shall not contain requirements for the development, preparation, acquisition of rights, submission, delivery, maintenance, updating, approval, or distribution of plans, reports, drawings, manuals, or other data products. Data can only be required in the contract. A standard may be the source document for a DID. The DID will cite specific tasks in the standard, which when performed, will result in the need for data. For example, a test method standard on shock testing may result in the need for a DID for a shock test report. Standards that are the source document for DIDs shall have an AMSC number assigned by cognizant DID Approval Authority listed in the SD-1. The information specified in
5.12.4 shall be included in section 6 of the standard to identify the DIDs for inclusion in the contract to acquire the data. For sectionalized standards, DIDs may be listed with the associated individual tasks, requirements, or test methods described in 5.11.1 using the same language as required by 5.12.4.
