MIL-PRF-63012B
3.1.2 National stock numbers (NSN), part numbers and nomenclature. The NSNs, part numbers, and
Commercial and Government Entity Codes (CAGEC) shall not be used in the narrative portion of the
DMWR unless they are essential for identification of the item. Only approved nomenclature shall be used in
the DMWR. The use of names and nomenclature shall be consistent throughout the DMWR.
3.1.3 Abbreviations and acronyms. Abbreviations shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-12. The first
use of the abbreviation or acronym shall have the word or words spelled out completely. The abbreviation or
acronym shall appear in parenthesis immediately after the word(s).
3.1.4 Illustrations. Unless otherwise specified by the contracting activity (see 6.2), only line drawing
illustrations shall be used in the DMWR. Illustration views shall be presented as the DMWR user would
view the item in the performance of the associated task. Locator numbers used on illustrations shall be
numbered consecutively in a clockwise direction, beginning with the lowest number at the 11 o'clock position.
Unless otherwise specified by the contracting activity (see 6.2), engineering drawings shall not be used in the
DMWR.
3.1.5 References. Reference to other documents and information within the DMWR shall be held to a
minimum. If it is economical to do so, required data may be duplicated instead of referenced. Reference shall
be made to other documents only when they are normally available to the user. If a reference to another
document is necessary, the reference shall include the document name or publication number. References
made to other documents or other parts of the DMWR shall include only specific and necessary location data
such as chapter, page, paragraph, table, or figure number.
3.1.6 Warnings, cautions, and notes. Warnings, cautions, and notes shall be used in accordance with
MIL-STD-38784. A warning shall precede the text for a procedure where injury or death may occur to the
person doing the procedure, not the person who will use the equipment when it is issued. Cautions shall
precede the text for a procedure where damage to the equipment could occur. Notes shall precede the text and
are used to highlight an essential operating or maintenance procedure, condition, or statement. When
warnings, cautions, or notes occur for the same text, the warnings shall appear first, cautions second, and
notes last.
3.1.7 Icons for hazardous materials warnings and safety warnings. Whenever a warning is presented as
an icon or a combination of icons, the format presented in appendix A shall be used. Icons used shall either
be on the approved list in appendix A of this specification, or shall be added or changed as specified and

summary at the front of the DMWR.
