There’s a new NAS 850 Revision 7, “General Packaging Standard,” and it’s available now from Document Center Inc. This Aerospace Industries Association standard establishes and defines the general requirements for packaging of commodities for domestic shipment and storage for a minimum of 90 days from time of receipt.
The new 3-page NAS 850 is used when specified on procurement documents, part design specifications, drawings other packaging standards or specifications. Revision 7 replaces Revision 6 from November, 1983, which is now obsolete.
FYI: This document is one of the National Aerospace Standards set. The NAS prefix means that the document is in inch-pound measurements; NA means the document is in metric measurements. For documents that were migrated from the old MIL Spec and Standards systems, the prefixes are NASM (inch-pound) and NAM (metric).
All the National Aerospace Standards are available from Document Center Inc. at our website, www.document-center.com.
