MIL Spec Revisions
MIL Spec Revisions
(OP)
Guys,
Is there a statement somewhere that says: "use the latest MIL spec revision if there is no revision specification otherwise" unlike the Tolerancing standard where revision is specifically specified???
Thanks,
Frank

I would not use a note indicating to use the latest revision, a vendor may not have the latest, but assume they do.

RE: MIL Spec Revisions
Problem is, what you wrote is a moving target, as standards might get revised over the duration of a long project.
The standard that is the latest rev at the time of Notice to Proceed, or contract execution is commonly used.

RE: MIL Spec Revisions
You need to be careful, as in some instances you might have old contracts that still call out MIL-STD-100, for example; you technically can't go in and change it to read ASME Y14.100-2004 until the contract is changed by the controlling contract administrator to show this. Generally, there is no technical problem if you would change MIL-STD-100 to ASME Y14.100 - with the exception of Specification Control Drawings. Specification Control Drawings are now no longer used, and are now referred to as Vendor Item Control Drawings. It probably would not matter to most of your customers, since Vendor Item Control Drawings are commonly used today, but it could be stated in an audit that you didn't follow the contract stated standards exactly.
