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

5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as speciied in the contract
or order (see 6.2.l.). When actual packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD personnel, these
personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging requirements.
Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point s packaging activity within the Military
Department or Defense Agency, or within the Military Department s System Command. 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.
NOTES
6
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. Technical manuals prepared in accordance with this speciication are intended to be
used for accomplishing military speciic operation, inspection, maintenance, storage, and other specialized
tasks on Air Force equipment.
6.1.1 WP concept. The objective of the WP concept is to present a self-contained set of procedures based
on work area requirements to support signiicant Operation and Maintenance (O&M) tasks. Division of O&M
information into speciic WPs depends on the operational modes and complexity of the O&M actions and the
level of O&M to be covered. Each WP or SWP is an independent, task/process oriented unit using a minimum
amount of references within a TM. Text is factual, concise, comprehensive, and readily understandable to
personnel with a minimum of training and experience in the area where the data will be used.
6.1.2 Application. The WP/SWP concept applies to the operation and maintenance of system components
removed from their host system or from their higher assembly (i.e., off-equipment). A WP may also be
used for a total system when the system is small enough to make it cost effective. Complexities and
maintenance concepts dictate how WPs and SWPs will be developed for given equipment. Relatively
simple, non complex equipment may require a TM with only a few WPs containing all of the O&M
procedures. Complex equipment however, may require a set of TMs, each manual with a full set of
WPs and, when applicable, a number of SWPs to further manage and focus the information for speciic
maintenance work stations or speciic operations.
6.2 Acquisition requirements.
Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this document.
b. If the manual is to be prepared in single or double column format (see 3.1).
1. Organizational level maintenance (O-Level) (see 3.2.1.2).
2. Intermediate level maintenance (I-Level) (see 3.2.1.1).
3. Depot level maintenance (D-Level) (see 3.2.1.3).
(a) Horizontal or vertical maintenance (engines and missiles) (see 3.2.1.3).
(b) Maintenance concept (conditional maintenance or total overhaul) (see 3.2.1).
4. Combined I- and D-Level maintenance manuals (see 3.2.1.4).
5. On-condition maintenance instruction manual (see 3.2.1.5).
6. If a manual set is to be prepared (see 3.2.1.6).
7. If manuals are to be prepared for major accessories (see 3.2.1.7).
8. Combined operation and maintenance (see 3.2.2).
