6.2.1 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 4120.27-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://shelflife.hq.dla.mil/.

6.5 Environmentally preferable material. Environmentally preferable materials should be used to the
maximum extent possible to meet the requirements of this specification. As of the dating of this
document, the U.S. Environmentally Protection Agency (EPA) is focusing efforts on reducing 31 priority
chemicals. The list of chemicals is available on their website at
https://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/minimize/chemlist.htm. Further information is available at the
following EPA site: https://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/minimize/. Included in the EPA list of 31
priority chemicals are cadmium, lead, and mercury. Use of the materials on the list should be minimized
or eliminated unless needed to meet the requirements specified herein (see section 3).
6.6 Guidance on use of alternative parts with less hazardous or nonhazardous materials. This
specification provides for a number of alternative plating materials via the PIN. Users should select the
PIN with the least hazardous material that meets the form, fit and function requirements of their
application.).
