scope:

This standard establishes the technical content requirements for the preparation of Repair Parts and Special Tools Lists (RPSTLs) for weapon systems and equipment Technical Manuals (TMs) and Depot Maintenance Work Requirements (DMWRs). These requirements are applicable for both paper and digital page-oriented TMs. Electronic delivery of RPSTL TMs is accomplished through the use of the Repair Parts and Special Tools List modular Document Type Definition (DTD). The DTD is available in a digital format. Refer to MIL-STD-40051 for information on obtaining this DTD. RPSTL requirements include 1) introductory information, 2) tabular listings of all authorized spares and repair parts, special tools, special test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment (TMDE), and other support equipment required for performance of maintenance and 3) illustrations to identify and locate the spare and repair parts.
