MIL-DTL-32505
4.9 Reduced testing. At the discretion of the procuring activity and as specified in the contract or
purchase order (see 6.2), the amount of testing may be reduced provided the results on consecutive
lots indicate that a uniform product meeting the testing requirements is being produced and
providing that the manufacturer agrees in writing to maintain the same manufacturing procedures.
Testing for a given plate thickness shall return to standard (non-reduced testing) conditions of one
plate per lot, whenever a ballistic test plate fails to meet ballistic requirements.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the
contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel components are to be performed by DoD or
in-house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to
ascertain packaging requirements. 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 files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting
the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
