5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the
contract or order (see 6.2). When actual 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
packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the Military Service 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
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The hose and hose assemblies furnished under this specification are for use as
flexible connections on automotive hydraulic brake components. Type I hose may be used in applications
requiring regular expansion hose. Type II hose may be used in applications requiring either low
expansion or regular expansion hose.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of the specification.
b. PIN (see 1.2).
d. If first article is required (see 3.1).
e. If materials are other than as specified (see 3.3).
f. If inspection conditions should be other than as specified (see 4.3.1).
g. Sampling plan for conformance inspection (see 4.4).
h. Packaging requirements (see 5.1). Brake hose assemblies should be stored in a straight
position with no external forces placed upon the assembly. Care should be taken to the
selection of packaging materials. Some packaging materials contain chemicals which may
cause a reaction with the brake hose. Among those materials are certain plastics, adhesives,
and paper treatments. Care should be taken to insure that the packaging materials are inert to
the hose assembly.
6.3 First article. The contracting officer should include specific instructions in acquisition documents
regarding arrangements for examinations, approval of first article test results, and disposition of first
article samples. Invitations for bids should provide that the Government reserves the right to waive the
requirement for samples for first article inspection to those bidders offering a product which has been
previously acquired or tested by the Government, and that bidders offering such products, who wish to
rely on such production or test, must furnish evidence with the bid that prior Government approval is
presently appropriate for the pending contract.
6.3.1 Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) waiver of first article test. A waiver of a first article testing will
only be considered by DLA when the contractor has delivered the same item within the last three years,
has no unfavorable quality history, has not changed processes, or changed any subcontractors. DLA will
not accept first article testing results outside the stated requirements.
