scope:

- This standard establishes requirements for the design and test of all pressurized systems for missiles, space vehicles and ground support equipment. These requirements, when implemented on a particular pressurized system, will assure a high level of confidence in achieving safe operation and mission success.

- All the requirements listed herein are mandatory requirements when this standard is placed on contract. Specific approval of the procuring activity is required prior to the exclusion, modification or revision of any requirement listed in this standard when design specifications are generated for pressurized systems, subsystems and components. When the system is intended for use on a launch test range, specific approval for exclusion of any requirement must be obtained by the procurring activity and the appropriate launch or test range approval authority.
