scope:

Guidelines applicable to aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnect Systems (EWIS). This handbook provides guidance and lessons learned in the inspection of EWIS. This handbook is for guidance only and cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the contractor does not have to comply.

Re-dating. Although individual guidelines are reviewed and updated or validated at least once every eighteen months, guidelines are not re-dated unless technical changes are made.

Method of reference. Guidelines contained herein should be referenced by specifying this handbook and the guideline number for guidance only

Interrelationship of guidelines. Each guideline is intended to cover some discipline in the inspection of EWIS, such as a procedure, a process, or the selection and application of parts and materials. Many of these disciplines, however, cannot retain a clear-cut separation or isolation from others so that when guidelines of MIL-HDBK-522 are referenced in a specification some guidelines will undoubtedly have a direct interrelationship with other guidelines. This interrelationship should be taken into consideration when referencing these guidelines.
