Adopting
Activity
|
|
|
An Adopting Activity is the official DoD
technical focal point for a Non-Government Standard (NGS) that has been adopted
for repetitive use by the DoD activities with a Custodian or Reviewer Interest.
The alpha, numeric, or alphanumeric code comes from the SD-1, Standardization Directory,
a publication available from ASSIST which displays specific responsibilities by
FSC and Standardization Area for standardization management activities.
Adopting Activities have the following responsibilities:
- Adopt NGSs and represent the Department of Defense on all technical matters related
to the NGS.
- Coordinate draft NGSs with other interested SMAs to solicit comments and identify
Custodian and review interest.
- Resolve and consolidate DoD comments on draft NGSs, and provide DoD comments and
positions in time to be considered for inclusion in the approved NGS.
- Prepare adoption notices for NGSs and submit the notice together with a copy of
the approved NGS to DLA Document Services for indexing, stocking, and distribution.
(Policy Memo 00-3)
- Ensure that the ASSIST database lists the latest edition of the adopted NGS.
- Keep the non-government standards body (NGSB) apprised of DoD needs for new standards,
changes required to existing standards to make them acceptable to the DoD, and any
problems with adopted NGSs.
|
|
Adoption Date
|
|
|
|
Adoption Date represents when a Non-Government
Standard document was officially recognized or accepted for use by the DoD. The
date identifies when the Non-Government standard document was accepted in the ASSIST
database.

Air Force Custodian
|
|
|
An Air Force Custodian is responsible for
compiling comments from all Air Force review activities during the coordination
of standardization documents and providing a single set of distilled comments to
the preparing activity. The custodian function in the Defense Standardization Program
helps to prevent receipt of duplicative comments by the preparing activity, and
provides a single contact point for resolution of essential comments.
An Air Force Custodian's responsibilities include:
- Representing the Department of the Air Force on technical issues involving a standardization
document or study.
- Assisting the Preparing Activity in identifying Review Activities in the Department
of the Air Force.
- Resolving and consolidating Review Activity comments in their Department and presenting
a unified position on a standardization document to the Preparing Activity.
- Working with the Preparing Activity to resolve their Department's essential comments.

All Of These Words
|
|
|
All Of These Words refers to the ability
to obtain a list of all document images that contain each and every word specified
in the corresponding text entry field. For example, if you specified the words "TOMATO"
and "SAUCE", the search results listing would provide only those documents that
contained both words. Note that it is not necessary for the individual words to
be adjacent to one another within the document nor that they be specified in the
text entry field in any particular order.
Note: Please be aware that not all PDF-based document image files contain
searchable text elements (depending on whether or not the files were generated from
legacy scanned images); therefore, certain files may not be considered during searches
and the search results may NOT reflect the entire index.

Coordination Level
|
|
|
Coordination is the process of having standardization
documents reviewed and commented on by Government and private sector organizations.
Coordinated documents are those that areused by more than one Military Department
or Defense Agency. Most standardization documents should be coordinated ones.
There are three possible coordination levels:
- Full. Documents with this
coordination level are used by more than one Military Department or Defense Agency.
Such documents are coordinated with Custodians, Review Activities, Lead Standardization
Activity, and if applicable, with civilian agencies, private sector, and/or other
users.
- Limited. Documents with
this coordination level are used by only one Military Department or Defense Agency
and do not have Custodians.
- Interim. Documents with
this coordination level allow for quick changes to be made to coordinated documents
when time does not permit normal coordination. No coordination is required for the
interim document. Only one interim document shall exist at a time for a coordinated
document.

Overview, Classification, and Decalssification", 24 February 2012, and shall be
destroyed by any method that will prevent disclosure of contents or reconstruction
of the document. When local circumstances or experience indicates that this destruction
method is not sufficiently protective of the information, local authorities may
prescribe other methods but must balance the additional expense against the degree
of sensitivity.
All records shall be maintained and managed in accordance with National Archives
and Records Administration approved dispositions to ensure proper maintenance, use,
accessibility, and preservation, regardless of format or medium.

DLA Custodian
|
|
|
A DLA Custodian is responsible for compiling
comments from all DLA review activities during the coordination of standardization
documents and providing a single set of distilled comments to the preparing activity.
The custodian function in the Defense Standardization Program helps to prevent receipt
of duplicative comments by the preparing activity, and provides a single contact
point for resolution of essential comments.
A DLA Custodian's responsibilities include:
- Representing their Defense Agency on technical issues involving a standardization
document or study.
- Assisting the Preparing Activity in identifying Review Activities in their Defense
Agency.
- Resolving and consolidating Review Activity comments in their Agency and presenting
a unified position on a standardization document to the Preparing Activity.
- Working with the Preparing Activity to resolve their Agency's essential comments.
|
|
Document Category
|
|
|
|
Document Category identifies the type of
standardization document (e.g., performance, detail, or federal specification; military
standard or standard practice, commercial item description, etc.).
|
|
Document Date
|
|
|
Document Date indicates the most recent published modification to a document. Depending on where a document is in its lifecycle, this date can be the publication date of a new document, or the date of the last revision, amendment, supplement, or notice.
Note: For a non-government standard (NGS), ASSIST displays the [Adoption Date] and, if applicable, the [Reaffirmation Date]. For certain International Treaty Agreements, such as NATO standards, ASSIST displays the [Promulgation Date] and U.S. [Ratification Date].
|
|
DID Date
|
|
|
|
DID Date represents the most recent published
date of a Data Item Description (DID) document (e.g., the date for a new DID or
the date the DID was last revised).
|
|
Document ID
|
|
|
Document ID refers to the alphanumeric identifier
associated with a defense or federal specification or standard, military handbook,
commercial or data item description, drawing, nongovernment standard, international
standardization agreement, test operations procedure, or other Defense Standardization
Program document. Search results include slash sheet, section, part, or volume numbers,
as well as revision, amendment, notice, or supplement symbols. When searching using
this field, Quick Search will return a list of Document IDs, with the specified
search characters (or partial string of characters) found in their Document IDs.
Partial values are accepted without use of special wildcard characters.
|
Examples:
|
Use MIL-PRF-50 to find:
|
- MIL-PRF-5038J
- MIL-PRF-5041K SUP 1
- MIL-PRF-5096F NOT 1
- MIL-PRF-50084G
|
Use "DTL-100" to find:
|
- MIL-DTL-10035L
- MIL-DTL-10057J
- MIL-DTL-10058J
|
Use "4971" to find:
|
- MIL-P-4971(1) NOT 1
- MIL-G-14971A(4) NOT 2
- A-A-54971 NOT 1
- SAE-AMS4971
|
|
Document Number
|
|
|
This value refers to the numeric series assigned
to a document. A specific Document Number may be associated with multiple document
categories, such as defense or federal specifications, standards, military handbooks,
commercial or data item descriptions, drawings, or non-government standards.
Quick Search provides the ability to search against documents associated
with a specific Document Number series. The results list returned by the search
will include all corresponding slash sheets, if applicable. This search feature
is particularly useful when you know the Document Number but don't know the current
document prefix (e.g., MIL-C may now be MIL-PRF or MIL-DTL as a result of Acquisition
Reform initiatives). Partial values are NOT accepted.
|
Examples:
|
Search against 1361 to find:
- MIL-I-1361C NOT 1
- MIL-STD-1361A NOT 1
- W-S-001361 NOT 1
- QPL-1361-38 NOT 1
- STANAG-1361 ED. 1
- NAS1353THRUNAS1366
NOTES: Some specifications indexed in ASSIST are drawings that describe
a range of Government part numbers. The document number for such a specification
comprises the beginning part number, the term “THRU” and the ending part number.
The last entry in the above example was included in the search results because 1361
is between 1353 and 1366.
|
|
Document Part
Description
|
|
|
The DSP standardization community routinely modifies documents
to reflect changes in technology, practices, and resource availability. As
these documents evolve, document parts such as revisions, amendments, supplements,
and notices are published to reflect current requirements, corrections, and administrative
actions. These current and
historical document parts are indexed in the ASSIST as they become available.
ASSIST displays this "revision history" to permit users to access and download
individual parts of a given document. Every document part has a corresponding
file or inventory item associated with it. Most document parts are stored
electronically and, with the exception of controlled distribution documents and
special cases, these files may be downloaded directly from ASSIST free of charge.
The media icon to the left of the revision
history indicates the format and availability of each part.
The Document Part Description also includes detail information to clearly differentiate
between version-specific parts (e.g., Amendment 1 vs. Amendment 2). When notices
are listed, the revision (if any) and notice level are provided along with a description
indicating Validation, Inactivation, Cancellation, Adoption, Reactivation, or Reinstatement.
Examples of document parts and descriptions include:
|
Base Document
|
Base Document (indicates original document
without revisions)
|
|
Revision
|
Revision B
|
|
Amendment
|
Revision B Amendment 5
|
|
Notice

Revision C Notice 1 - Cancellation
|
|
Supplement
|
Revision B Supplement 1A
|
|
Inactivation Notice
|
Revision A Notice 2 - Inactivation
|
|
Adoption Notice
|
Notice 1 - Adoption
|
|
|
Document Status
|
|
|
Preparing Activities are responsible for
the maintenance of their standardization documents to ensure that document requirements
are updated or validated to accurately describe user needs, current technology,
modern industrial practices and relevant testing methods. As technology
and user needs change, a document's usefulness in the acquisition of systems, equipments
and related logistics support may diminish or it may become obsolete. Document
Status defines the degree to which a document may be used in the acquisition process
and may have one of three values:
|
|
|
Active
|
The document is approved for use in all acquisitions
or new design. The document date in ASSIST reflects the date of the most
current version of the document.
|
|
|
Inactive
|
Inactive for New Design documents shall not
be used, except to support or reprocure existing items. For these documents,
a formal Inactive for New Design Notice (Inactivation) has been issued as a means
to alert the standardization community of the change in status. In the
normal life cycle of a standardization document, it is common that an inactive for
new design action will take place many years before a document is eventually canceled. Note
that the document date in ASSIST reflects the date of Inactivation for New Design.
|
|
|
Canceled
|
The document's Preparing Activity has determined
that the document is no longer needed for acquisition, reprocurement or design. In
such cases, a formal Cancellation Notice has been issued as a means to alert the
standardization community of the change in status. The document date
in ASSIST reflects the date of cancellation.
|
|
DoD Interest Level
|
|
|
|
DoD Interest Level refers to a code/designation
that identifies the level of registered interest the DoD has in a federal standardization
document. Should the DoD have any level of interest other than coordination, the
document's Preparing Activity will be shown instead of the Military Coordinating
Activity.
|
|
Find Term1,Term2,…
|
|
|
Quick Search will search for any string of alpha or numeric characters entered in this field, exactly as they are entered, to include spaces or special characters, except for commas, since commas are reserved to separate multiple search terms.
The default setting is to search for terms in the Title or Keywords or Scope ; however, you may choose to limit the search by selecting one of the following from the drop-down list:
Title, Keywords, Scope, Title or Keywords.
|
Examples:
|
1. If you enter [pressure valve] For [All Terms] In [Title or Keywords or Scope], ASSIST will find 3 documents where the exact phrase [pressure valve] appears in one of those fields (in this instance, in the Scope).
| Y | MIL-V-6125D NOT 3 | I | 4820 | 25-Feb-2013 | Valve, Regulating, Fluid Pressure, Type C-1 |
| Y | MIL-P-17303D(2) NOT 1 | C | 5330 | 04-Dec-2008 | Packing Materials, Plastic Metallic and Plastic Nonmetallic (See Notice 1 for Replacement Information) |
| Y | MIL-P-62224(1) NOT 2 | C | 6685 | 18-Apr-1990 | PROBE ASSEMBLY, BATTERY TEMPERATURE (NO S/S DOCUMENT) |
|
2. If you enter [pressure valve] For [Any Term] In [Title or Keywords or Scope], the results will be the same as in the first example, because ASSIST interprets [pressure valve] as one string (i.e., a single search term).
|
3. If you enter [pressure,valve] For [All Words] in [Title or Keywords or Scope], and choose a [Status]=[Active], ASSIST will find 99 documents where both words appear, in any order, in any one of those fields. Note that search terms are highlighted within the Title (see first 10 results below). The two results where only the term [valve] appears in the Title are listed because both terms appear in each document’s Scope.

| Y | MIL-PRF-9050G | A | 4820 | 25-Aug-2009 | Valves, Oxygen, Pressure Relief, Aircraft |
|
4. If you enter [pressure,valve] For [Any Word] in [Title or Keywords or Scope], and choose a [Status]=[Active], you'll get 1,179 results, as ASSIST will report when either word appears in the Title, Keywords, or Scope. Again, note that the search terms are highlighted in the Title (see first 10 results below). Results where neither search term appears in the Title are listed because at least one term appears in the documents’ Keywords or Scope.

|
|
Federal Supply Class (FSC) codes are used to group products into logical
families for supply management purposes. The four-digit fields, fully
discussed in Cataloging Handbook H2-1, are used in the standardization program to
group standardization documents associated with products into logical families for
standardization management purposes. Similarly, Standardization Areas refer to categories for engineering technologies,
disciplines, and practices that do not fall under a FSC. The ASSIST maintains
a current catalog of all FSCs and Areas to which documents are associated. Note
that documents may also be classified within a
Federal Supply Group, a two-digit code followed by 'GP', to categorize
a small number of documents that can only be categorized in general, group-level
terms.
ASSIST-Quick Search provides the ability to search and locate documents associated
with a single FSC, FSG, or Standardization Area. Use the drop-down list
provided to select from one of nearly 100 valid codes to search against.

Guidance on including key words in Section 6 of military specifications may be found in MIL-STD-961E(2), Defense and Program-Unique Specifications Format and Content, 09-JAN-2014, which states:
“. 5.11.11 Subject term (key word) listing. Specifications shall contain a listing of subject terms (key words) to enable the document to be identified during retrieval searches.
If the specification requires the use of any toxic chemicals, hazardous substances, or ozone-depleting chemicals, these should be included in the key word listing.
The subject terms should not repeat words found in the title of the document, except if the word is used in a phrase not part of the document title.
The subject terms are to be listed alphabetically in a single column with the main noun or word first, followed by sequential modifiers separated by commas.
Word groups that are considered to be proper or recognized nouns, such as “printed circuit board,” should not be separated. The number of subject terms listed shall not exceed 25.”

Next Review Due
|
|
|
Next Review Due - Indicates the date when a DoD-prepared document will be considered overage and due for a review to determine if it is still valid or in need of maintenance. For a non-government standard (NGS), this date indicates when the adoption of an NGS needs to be reviewed and either, updated, withdrawn, or reaffirmed. The Next Review Due is determined by adding either 5 or 10 years to the Document Date or, for an NGS, to either the Adoption Date or the most recent Reaffirmation Date, according to the following criteria:
- For Active documents, [Next Review Due:] = [Document Date] + 5 years.
- For Inactive documents and Active documents identified by preparing activity as stabilized maintenance, [Next Review Due:] = [Document Date] + 10 years.
- For non-government standards (NGS) Tier 1 Adoption Notices, [Next Review Due:] = [Adoption/Reaffirmation Date] + 5 years.
- For NGS Tier 2 Adoption Notices, [Next Review Due:] = [Adoption/Reaffirmation Date] + 10 years.
|
|
Other Custodian
|
|
|
An Other Custodian is responsible for compiling
comments from all of the DoD and Federal review activities not directly associated
with one of the Military Departments during the coordination of standardization
documents and providing a single set of distilled comments to the preparing activity.
The custodian function in the Defense Standardization Program helps to prevent receipt
of duplicative comments by the preparing activity, and provides a single contact
point for resolution of essential comments.
An Other Custodian's responsibilities include:
- Representing non-military organizations on technical issues involving a standardization
document or study.
- Assisting the Preparing Activity in identifying non-military Review Activities.

Part Status
|
|
|
The ASSIST maintains information regarding the current
status of individual component parts of a document (e.g., base document,
revisions, amendments, change notices, etc.) that comprise the document's "revision
history". A document's components are either "current" (i.e., needed to have a complete
set of the current version of the document) or "historical" (i.e., earlier revisions,
amendments, change notices, or other notices that have been superseded by subsequent
actions). Do not confuse the term Part Status with Document Status which refers
to the operational status of the document (i.e., Active, Inactive [for New Design],
or canceled). Part Status values are further defined below.

Project Number
|
|
|
|
Project Number - refers to standardization project numbers. All DoD Preparing Activities must get standardization project numbers to revise, amend, change, reinstate, inactivate for new design, cancel, or develop a new standardization document. For Non-Government Standards, the Adopting Activity must get a standardization project number for the adoption or withdrawal of adoption of a NGS. Item reduction studies and engineering practice studies also require standardization project numbers. The only type of standardization document that does not require a project number is a validation notice.
The standardization project number consists of two parts. The first part is the applicable FSG, the FSC, or the standardization area. The second part is a nonsignificant four-digit number serially assigned in each FSG, FSC, or standardization area. (For example: 2620-0023, 15GP-1590, or CMAN-0934.) Once all of the nonsignificant four-digit numbers have been assigned in a FSG, a FSC, or a standardization area, the numbering sequence starts again with "-0001)." Closely related projects initiated in the same timeframe may be identified by a project number followed by a dash and sequentially assigned subproject numbers. (For example, 5960-0001-001, 5960-0001-002, and 5960-0001-003.)

promulgated by its International Treaty Organization.
|
|
QPL/QML
|
|
|
QPL/QML are lists of products from manufacturers
who have demonstrated their ability to meet the technical and testing requirements
in a governing specification with a requirement for qualification. Qualification
is used to establish sources for critical items or for items that require expensive
or lengthy testing procedures. Policies and procedures concerning Qualification
are provided in DoD 4120.24-M, Appendix 2 and
Policy Memo 07-3. Additional guidance can be found in the
SD-6.

|
|
Scope
|
|
|
|
The Scope paragraph is a textual description
of the scope of the standard / specification / test method / etc. that the document
covers.
|
Examples:
|
This specification
covers gasket material for use in shipboard water stills.
This test method covers the determination of total ash in leather.
|
|
Size
|
|
|
Most document component parts are available for download
in PDF format. The Revision History provides Size information (in Kilobytes) for
each file as a tool to help users gauge how long it will take to download selected
files.
File sizes for older documents tend to be greater than those for newer documents
since older files often contain scanned images that were subsequently converted
to PDF. File sizes are typically smaller for newer documents since the PDF files
are produced directly from the source and no additional format conversion or translation
is required. Note that historical documents containing engineering drawings, charts,
and other graphics will generally be larger since this information is captured as
TIF images and embedded within the PDF files.
Download times may vary from person to person depending on the user’s connection
speed.
In cases where the media type identifies a given
document part as a warehouse item, the term
‘N/A’ will appear in the Size column since inventory items may only be ordered through
ASSIST
or by contacting DLA Document Services Customer Support at 215-737-8000 [DSN: 444-8000 ].
While ASSIST users are encouraged to download specifications and standards
from the ASSIST, particularly large digital files may also be ordered using these
methods.
|
|
Spec/Std Sheet
|
|
|
The Spec/Std Sheet is the numeric designation
of the document's specification or standard sheet, section, or part number.
If no value is entered, a zero (0) is assumed as the default. Valid values
for the slash number are 0-99999.
|
|
Examples of Spec/Std Sheet
|
|
|
2 for MIL-E-1/2B(1)

Sponsor
|
|
|
A Sponsor is a NATO Tasking Authority and
Working Group that is responsible for the development and maintenance of a standardization
document. A Tasking Authority is a principal NATO committee that has the authority
to task its subordinate groups to produce standardization agreements and Allied
Publications.
Note: A Tasking Authority may delegate this function to a subordinate group (e.g.,
Working Group).
|
|
Sub/Part Number
|
|
|
Sub/Part Number is the numeric designation
of an additional part or section number required to uniquely identify a document. This
field is primarily used in specifying military standards. If no value
is entered, a zero (0) is assumed as the default. Valid values for the
sub/part numbers are 0-99.
|
|
Examples of Sub/Part Number
|
|
|
1 for MIL-STD-188-203-1
|
|
|
3 for DOD-STD-1399-72-3
|
|
|
This Exact Phrase
|
|
|
This Exact Phrase refers to the ability
to obtain a list of all document images that contain a specific textual phrase.
For example, if you specified the phrase "TOMATO SAUCE", the search results listing
would provide only those documents that contained both words appearing adjacent
to one another in the document as well as occurring in the same order as specified
in the text entry field.
Note: Please be aware that not all PDF-based document image files contain
searchable text elements (depending on whether or not the files were generated from
legacy scanned images); therefore, certain files may not be considered during searches
and the search results may NOT reflect the entire index.
|
|
Title
|
|
|
|
Document titles consist of a basic item name and sufficient modifiers to differentiate between similarly titled documents indexed in ASSIST, where item names conform to Cataloging Handbook H6.
The usual practice is to first identify the general subject, followed by the detail or specific application. For example, a specification that describes requirements for an electric, propeller-model, exhaust fan may be indexed in
ASSIST as "Fan, Ventilating, Propeller, Electric, Exhaust." Where supersession information is available for a canceled document, superseding document information is appended to the end of the document’s title, denoted with “S/S by…” or “use…” within parentheses.
Users are advised to evaluate the potential use of superseding documents on a case-by-case basis. (See Keywords .)
|
|
Transformation
Date
|
|
|
|
Transformation Date represents the date when
a QPL or QML document was transformed to an electronic data set in the Qualified
Products Database (QPD).
|
|
Validation
Date
|
|
|
|
Validation Date is the date a Preparing Activity
last reviewed a document and confirmed it is still needed and technically useful
for acquisition.
|
|
Warehouse Document
|
|
|
|
A Warehouse Document is a document that
is not available for download but which may be ordered from DLA Document Services.
Warehouse documents are stored in hard copy format and may be requested free of charge by accessing the ASSIST web site and ordering a copy
of the document.
|
|
Withdrawal
Date
|
|
|
|
Withdrawal Date represents the date on which
a Withdrawal Notice is issued against to indicate that DoD no longer has an interest
in a formerly adopted Non-Government Standard (NGS).
|
|
Without These
Words
|
|
|
Without These Words refers to the
ability to search for documents that do not contain any of the words specified in
the corresponding text entry field. For example, if you specified the words "TOMATO"
and "SAUCE", the search results listing would exclude every document that contained
"TOMATO", "SAUCE", or both. Note that it is not necessary for the individual words
to be adjacent to one another within the document nor that they be specified in
the text entry field in any particular order. However, in order to use this option,
you must further restrict your search by specifying text to find in at least one
of the other three entry fields.
Note: Please be aware that not all PDF-based document image files contain
searchable text elements (depending on whether or not the files were generated from
legacy scanned images); therefore, certain files may not be considered during searches
and the search results may NOT reflect the entire index.

Weapon System Impact
Tool (WSIT)
|
|
|
WSIT is a powerful tool that can provide
valuable insight to those who manage the life cycle of today's complex weapon systems.
This tool gathers information about weapon systems and their specifications from
multiple data sources, such as cataloging data and procurement history files.
With WSIT's query features, users can explore the relationships between specifications
and weapons systems. For example, a user can estimate the impact on a weapon system
if a specification is changed or canceled, or if a manufacturer no longer supplies
a part that supports the weapon system.
If a part conforming to a specification fails its testing requirements, WSIT will
show other items on the weapon system were tested using that specification. In addition,
WSIT will be able to identify what other weapon systems could possibly be affected
by the failed part.
WSIT can be used to generate a list of weapon systems in which a specified document-military
specification, federal specification, commercial item description, or non-government
standard-is called out. And, it can also provide a list of the national stock numbers
and controlling part numbers referenced in that document.
