MIL-STD-46855A 20 APPENDIX A SELECTION AND TAILORING OF MIL-STD-46855 A.1 SCOPE. This appendix provides criteria for the procuring activity's selection of the standard for contract use and, when used, the partial and incremental application of the requirements provisions. A.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS. HANDBOOKS DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MIL-HDBK-505 - Definitions of Item Levels, Item Exchangeability, Models, and Related Items A.3 SELECTION OF MIL-STD-46855 A.3.1 General. Selection of MIL-STD-46855 for application to contracts for military systems, equipment, and facili
waived. Should results of this review disclose that the standard should not be used or should be applied only as a general guide, the process is complete; however, if results of this review conclude that the standard should be invoked, the tailoring process or section A.4 must be pursued. A.4 TAILORING OF MIL-STD-46855 A.4.1 General. The primary purpose of a human engineering program, and therefore MIL- STD-46855, is to influence the design of the system, equipment, and facility. Every human engineering task must focus on influencing design and test, consistent with the nature of the procurement and the acquisition phase involved. A.4.2 Tailoring. Unless otherwise specified, contractors shall use the appropriate tailored version of MIL-STD-46855 as a baseline in the preparation of proposa
