VERIFICATION

4.1 Veriication requirements. When the technical data produced according to this speciication is offered for
acceptance, all tests, reviews, and veriications required by the acquiring activity to determine that it conforms
to the requirements in Section 3 of the speciication, shall be performed as speciied in the solicitation or
contract. The Air Force Technical Order Policy and Procedures (AF TOPP) team, AFMC/A4UE, provides the
speciic requirements for veriication of technical data developed and delivered through this speciication, as
well as guidance for including those requirements in the solicitation or contract (see TO 00-5-3, 2.2.2).
4.1.1 Compliance. Technical manuals (TMs) shall meet all requirements of Section 3 of this speciication
and the appropriate DTD appendix, as speciied by the acquiring activity (see 6.2). The requirements set
forth in this speciication shall become a part of the contractor s overall inspection system or quality
program. The absence of any requirements in this speciication shall not relieve the contractor of the
responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies, submitted to the government for acceptance, comply
with all requirements of the contract. Use of sampling inspections shall be at the discretion of the
contractor, and in accordance with commercially acceptable quality assurance procedures. However, use of
sampling in QA procedures does not authorize submission of known defective material, either indicated or
actual, nor does it commit the government to accept defective material.
PACKAGING

5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as speciied in the contract or
order (see 6.2af). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor personnel,

Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point s packaging activities within the
Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the military service s system commands. Packaging data
retrieval is available from the managing Military Department s or Defense Agency s automated packaging
iles, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
