scope:

This Standard describes the procedures used to provide Parts Identification and Allowances of Spares for Platform items sponsored by: DES OC Ships and Director of In-Service Submarines (DISM) that are fitted in New Construction and In-Service vessels that are required to be given Type A or Type B Support. Submarines are included within the scope of Type A support.

The scope of vessel - fit items is therefore wider than that of the asterisked items in the Equipment Code Dictionary of Def Stan 02-41 "Requirements for Configuration Management of Surface Ships (Cat 2)".

Similarly the scope of vessel - fit items is wider than that of the requirements for the preparation of Ship System and Equipment Lists (SS&E) List) (Cat 3). But the procedures described in Part 6 of this Standard are a useful adjunct with respect to asterisked items in the Equipment Code Dictionary of Def Stan 02-41.

This Standard specifically does not cater for Weapon and External Communication Systems, items that fall within Contract Repair Support Stock or for vessel-fit items
