MIL-PRF-17672E
6.4 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made only for products
which are, at the time of award of contract, qualified for inclusion in Qualified Products List QPL-17672 whether or
not such products have actually been so listed by that date. The attention of the contractors is called to these
requirements, and manufacturers are urged to arrange to have the products that they propose to offer to the Federal
Government tested for qualification in order that they may be eligible to be awarded contracts or orders for the
products covered by this specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products may be obtained from
Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, ATTN: SEA 05S, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, Stop 5160, Washington
Navy Yard DC 20376-5160 or emailed to CommandStandards@navy.mil. An online listing of products qualified to
this specification may be found in the Qualified Products Database (QPD) at https://assist.daps.dla.mil/online.
6.5 Off-gassing. Materials to be installed in submarines are to be controlled to prevent off-gassing, which
contaminates the atmosphere and can result in health hazards to personnel or deleterious effects on machinery.
These controls are accomplished through the Submarine Material Control Program, which is described in the
Nuclear Powered Submarine Atmosphere Control Manual, NAVSEA S9510-AB-ATM-010 chapter titled "Material
Control Program". Under the Submarine Material Control Program, all materials considered for use on submarines
require certification and assignment of a usage category. Under the certification process, candidate materials are
selected by Navy activities or contractors, and a request for certification is submitted to the Naval Sea Systems
Command, SEA 05S, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, Stop 5160, Washington Navy Yard DC 20376-5160. The
certification request is accompanied by detailed information, including descriptions of the material, method of
application, usage, and storage. A chemical analysis is conducted, which is normally accomplished through off-gas
testing. The off-gas test is required to be conducted in a Government-approved laboratory designated by the
preparing activity. Information pertaining to this test requirement may be obtained from the Naval Sea Systems
Command, SEA 05S, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, Stop 5160, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376-5160 or emailed to
commandstandards@navy.mil. Based on the chemical analysis results, a usage category is assigned to the material
defining whether, and to what extent, the material may be used on submarines.
6.6 Toxicity evaluation. The Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC) requires sufficient
information to permit an HHA of the fluid. The HHA is a review of the fluid based on information submitted by the
manufacturer to assess health hazards associated with the handling, application, use, and removal of the product.
Any questions concerning toxicity and requests for HHA should be addressed to the Commanding Officer, Navy and
Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC), ATTN: Industrial Hygiene Department, Acquisition Technical
Support Division, 620 John Paul Jones Circle, Suite 1100, Portsmouth, VA 23708-2103. Upon receipt of the HHA,
a copy should be provided to the Naval Sea Systems Command, ATTN: SEA 05S, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, Stop
5160, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376-5160 or emailed to commandstandards@navy.mil.
6.7 Material safety data sheets (MSDS). Contracting officers will identify those activates requiring copies of
completed MSDS prepared in accordance with FED-STD-313. In order to obtain the MSDS, FAR clause 52.223-3
must be in the contract.
6.8 International standardization agreement implementation. This specification implements North Atlantic
Treaty Organization Standardization Agreement (NATO STANAG) 4601, Guide Specifications for Hydraulic
Fluids for Naval Applications (H-573, H-574, and H-576). When amendment, revision, or cancellation of this
specification is proposed, the preparing activity must coordinate the action with the U.S. National Point of Contact
for the international standardization agreement, as identified in the ASSIST database at
6.9 Packaged lot. A packaged lot consists of an indefinite number of 55-gallon drums or smaller unit packages
of identical size and shape, offered for acceptance, and filled with a homogeneous mixture of fluid from a single,
isolated container, or filled with a homogeneous mixture of fluid.
