MIL-STD-790 Revision G, “Established Reliability and High Reliability Qualified Products List (QPL) Systems for Electrical, Electronic, and Fiber Optic Parts Specifications,” has just been released. The new 24-page revision is for direct reference in established reliability and high reliability electrical, electronic, and fiber optic parts specifications. It defines the criteria for a manufacturer’s qualified product system.
In implementing the Parts Specification Management for Reliability Report (PSMR-1), issued by the Department of Defense in May 1960, the military determined that a manufacturer must provide evidence of (a) adequate production and test facilities, and (b) sound procedures for process control. MIL-STD-790 was developed to provide guidelines.
Manufacturers of established reliability and high reliability electrical, electronic and fiber optic components that are included in the QPL program need to demonstrate to the qualifying activity that a system is in place to integrate all design, planning, manufacturing, inspection, and test functions. Those requirements are described in this standard.
The margins of MIL-STD-790 are marked with asterisks to indicate where changes from the previous issue were made. FYI: This was done as a convenience only and the Government assumes no liability whatsoever for any in accuracies in these notations.
