MIL-PRF-2765E
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number and date of this specification.
b. When first article inspection is required (see 3.1).
c. Form of material required (see 3.2).
d. Dimensions and tolerances required (see 3.3).
e. Marking required on rubber item (see 3.5).
f. Is off-gas testing required? (see 3.7).
g. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
h. Is Material Safety Data Sheet required? (see 6.3).
i. Is NEHC toxicity evaluation required? (see 6.5).
6.3 Material safety data sheets. Contracting officers will identify those activities requiring copies of
completed Material Safety Data Sheets prepared in accordance with FED-STD-313. In order to obtain the MSDS,
FAR clause 52.223-3 must be in the contract.
6.4 Off-gassing. Materials to be installed in submarines are to be controlled to prevent off-gassing,
which contaminates the atmosphere and results in health hazards to personnel or deleterious effects on machinery.
These controls are accomplished through the Submarine Material Control Program, which is described in the
Nuclear Powered Submarine Atmosphere Control Manual, NAVSEA Technical Manual S9510-AB-ATM-010/(U).
Under the Submarine Material Control Program, all materials considered for use on submarines require
certification and assignment of a usage category. Under the certification process, candidate materials are selected
by Navy activities or contractors, and a request for certification is submitted to Commander, Naval Sea Systems
Command, ATTN: SEA 05Z9, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, Stop 5122, Washington Navy Yard DC 20376-5122. The
certification request is accompanied by detailed information, including descriptions of the material. A chemical
analysis is conducted, which is normally accomplished through off-gas testing. The off-gas test is required to be
conducted in a Government approved laboratory designated by the preparing activity. Information pertaining to this
test requirement may be obtained from Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, ATTN: SEA 05Z9, 1333 Isaac
Hull Ave., SE, Stop 5160, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376-5160. Based on the chemical analysis results, a
usage category is assigned to the material defining whether, and to what extent, the material may be used on
submarines.
6.5 Toxicity evaluation. The NAVENVIRHLTHCEN requires sufficient information to permit a HHA of
the product. Any questions concerning toxicity and requests for HHA should be addressed to the Commanding
Officer, Navy Environmental Health Center, ATTN: Hazardous Materials Department, Industrial Hygiene
Directorate, 620 John Paul Jones Circle, Suite 1100, Portsmouth, VA 20378-2103. Upon receipt of the HHA, a
copy should be provided to Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, ATTN: SEA 05M3, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave.,
SE, Stop 5133, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376.
6.6 Shelf life. This specification covers items where shelf life is a consideration. Specific shelf-life
requirements should be specified in the contract or purchase order. The shelf-life codes are contained in the
Federal Logistics Information System Total Item Record. Additive information for shelf-life management may be
obtained from DoD 4140.27-M, Shelf-life Management Manual, or the designated shelf-life Points of Contact
(POC). The POC should be contacted in the following order: (1) the Inventory Control Points (ICPs), and (2) the
DoD Service and Agency administrators for the DoD Shelf-Life Program. Appropriate POCs for the DoD Shelf-
Life Program can be contacted through the DoD Shelf-Life Management website: https://www.shelflife.hq.dla.mil/.
