scope:

Reauirements amlicable to electronic eauipment. This standard covers the common requirements to be used in military specifications for electronic equipment.

Revision of reauirements.Revisions of individual requirements are indicated by a date below the requirement number located at the bottom of the page. A note, "Supersedes Requirement (no.) (date)", is placed in the lower corner of each revised page, opposite the requirement number and date. When the basic document is revised, those requirements not affected by change retain their existing date.

Redating. Although individual requirements are reviewed and updated or validated at least once every eighteen months, requirements are not redated unless technical changes are made.

Method of reference. Requirements contained herein shall be referenced in the individual specification by specifying this standard and the requirement number.

Interrelationship of reauirements. Each requirement is intended to cover some discipline in the design of equipment, 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 requirements of MLL-STD-454 are referenced in a specification some requirements will undoubtedly have a direct interrelationship with other requirements. This interrelationship should be taken into consideration when invoking or using these requirements.
