Scope.

This specification establishes the general performance requirements for printed circuit boards or printed wiring boards (hereafter designated printed board) and the verification requirements for insuring that these items meet the applicable performance requirements. Certification and qualification to this specification allows manufacturer's to apply the Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) (see 6.4.32) program to printed boards procured to non−QML documents such as MIL−PRF−55110 and MIL−PRF−50884 (see 6.3.5 and 6.5). The intent of this specification is to allow the printed board manufacturer the flexibility to implement best commercial practices to the maximum extent possible while still providing product that meets military performance needs (see 6.3.4). The principle concepts which allow this flexibility are as follows:

a. The manufacturer forms an internal quality review system or organization referred to in this document as the Technical Review Board (TRB) (see 6.4.51). The TRB is responsible for the implementation of a quality management (QM) plan (see 6.4.41). The implemented QM plan becomes the manufacturer's quality management (QM) program (see 6.4.42).

b. A relationship is established between the manufacturer (see 6.4.18) and the qualifying activity (see 6.4.37).

intended Use:

Printed boards conforming to this specification are intended primarily for use in electronic and electrical equipment applications.
