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 material is 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 Department's System
Command. 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
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. Hose covered by this specification is intended for temporary service for heavy-
duty high-pressure steam applications. The hose assemblies covered by this specification are military
unique since they must insure operability and interchangeability with existing applications.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Title, number, and date of the applicable specification sheet and the complete PIN.
d. Vertical hanging proof pressure testing required (see 4.7.1.2 (c)).

6.2.1 Shelf life. This specification covers items where the assignment of a Federal shelf-life code is a
consideration. Specific shelf life requirements should be specified in the contract or purchase order, and
should include as a minimum, shelf-life code, shelf life package markings in accordance with
MIL-STD-129 or FED-STD-123, preparation of a materiel quality storage standard for type II (extendible)
shelf-life items, and a minimum of 85 percent shelf-life remaining at time or receipt by the Government.
These and other requirements, if necessary, are in DoD 4120.27-M, Shelf-life Management Manual. The
shelf-life codes are in the Federal Logistics Information System Total item Record. Additive information
for shelf-life management may be obtained from DoD 4120.27-M, or the designated shelf-life Points of
Contact (POC). The POC should be contacted in the following order: (1) the Inventory Control Points that
manage the item 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/.
6.3 First article. When a first article inspection is required, the item will be tested and should be a
first production item or it may be a standard production item from the contractor's current inventory as
specified in 4.4.2.1. The first article should consist of one hose assembly. The contracting officer should
include specific instructions in acquisition documents regarding arrangements for examination, test,
disposition of samples, and approval of the first article.
