Only UFC establish enforceable criteria. UFS are For Information Only (FIO) and exist to help users understand and apply UFC requirements. The purpose of UFS is to offer procedural guidance, best practices, lessons learned, examples, and explanatory materials that clarify how to meet UFC criteria. They may include step-by-step procedures, checklists, illustrations, or decision aids, but they do not create new requirements or modify UFC content. UFS are developed by Discipli

aircraft maintained. Aircraft inspection occurs within the maintenance hangar. Table 7.2.38. Building Utility System Requirements for Maintenance Support Facility. System Requirements Mechanical Proper ventilation system and energy efficient HVAC system are required. Repair and reclamation shop requires 150-psi shop air and corrosion resistant drains. Applicable criteria include UFC 3-401-01 for mechanical. Electrical Industrial equipment typically requires 240- and 480-volt, three-phase electrical current. Use commercial grade convenience receptacles and special power outlets. Applicable criteria include UFC 3-501-01 for general electrical requirements, UFC 3-520-01 for interior electrical systems requirements, UFC 3-530-01 for interior and exterior lighting and controls requirements, UF

lity criteria. Here is an example from UFC 3-530-01: “This UFC applies to interior or exterior lighting systems for construction, repair, and maintenance projects.” 3-3.5.1 Facility, Building or System Type. Facility, building or system type typically follows the title of the criteria. In some cases, it may be necessary to include modifiers such as temporary, semi-permanent, non- permanent facilities that support Military Operations or non-DoD Tenant Buildings on DoD Installations. 3-3.5.2 Triggers or Exceptions. In some cases it may be required to include applicable triggers or exceptions in the applicability. Typical examples are: • Effective date UFS 1-300-01 14 January 2026 20 • Location (example: CONUS, OCONUS, within or outside the United States and its territories) • Occupancy (exam

may also be necessary to provide additional task lighting in the ID and inspection areas to support adequate identification of vehicle occupants and contents. Such lighting must be directed transverse to the roadway; it will then illuminate the roadway in front of the gatehouse, the driver, and the guard. Under-Vehicle Inspection Lighting. 5-9.3.1 Per UFC 3-530-01, lighting may also be mounted at or below pavement level to facilitate under vehicle inspection. The system must eliminate shadows and create contrast. CONSTRUCTION PHASING. 5-10 If the project involves the modification of an existing ECF/ACP, pay considerable attention to the phasing of construction. In most cases, it is desirable to minimize the interruption of the ECF/ACP operations especially during periods of peak demand. UF
