App1icability and Exclusions.

This document establishes mandatory electrostatic discharge (ESD) control requirements for NASA/MSFC and NASA/MSFC contractor facilities where ordnance and/or propellant may be received, distributed, assembled, disassembled, handled, tested, repaired., or stored. These requirements shall be contractually imposed and implemented during all phases of receiving, inspection, manufacturing, testing, repair, handling, storage, and shipping of all items of potential concern.
