p of guidelines. Each guideline 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 guidelines of MIL-HDBK-454 are referenced in a specification some guidelines will undoubtedly have a direct interrelationship with other guidelines. This interrelationship should be taken into consideration when referencing these guidelines. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS. 2.1 Individual guidelines. See section 2 of each individual guideline for a listing of applicable documents. Documents referenced in the individual guidelines apply to the extent specified herein.
