Company Standard Requirements

Company Standards shall meet the following requirements.

• Is identified by name and address of issuing company, CAGE number, document nomenclature and number, and contract number.
• Does not contain limited rights in technical data.
• Provide the necessary design disclosure information for the level of drawing for which they are furnished.
• Satisfy the same procurement requirements as for a specification control drawing when it defines a vendor item.
• Drawing practices and symbols used are such that their intent and interpretation are clear and unambiguous whether of standard or non-standard origin.
• Have clarity, legibility and reproducibility of MIL-PRF-5480 for the purpose of microfilming.

This is not a part number in that there is no part to identify. i.e. standard sizes for drilled holes.

Company Part Standard

A part or assembly of parts that has wide utility or recurring uses.

Company Book Standard

Book Standards are comprehensive presentations of engineering test methods, procedures, criteria symbols and the like.

Types Of Company Specification

Specifications are of five types: System, Development, Product (Commodity) Process, and Material prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-961 and the Company or Corporate Document Standardization Manual when one exists.

Company System Specification

A system specification states the technical and mission requirements for a system as an entity, allocates requirements to functional areas and defines the interfaces between or among the functional areas. It establishes the performance, design, development and test requirements for the system.

Company Development Specification

A development specification states the requirements for the design or engineering development of a product during the development period.

Company Product (Commodity) Specifications

A product specification is a technical description of the design or performance characteristics of material or component. Performance characteristics should be placed on drawings through the medium of a specification.
