Hazardous material identification and material safety data. The contractor

are present as defined under the Hazard Communication Standards (HCS) 29
CFR 1910.1200, appropriate warnings (see HCS 29 CFR 1910.1200) shall be
included on product labels.
6.2.1 Age limitation. The lubricant should not be ordered for use beyond 12 months
from the date of manufacture.
6.3 Qualifications. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made
only for products which are, at the time set for opening of bids, qualified for inclusion in
qualified products list (QPL-46010) 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 Government tested for
qualification in order that they may be eligible to be awarded contracts or purchase orders for the
products covered by this specification. The activity responsible for the qualified products list is:
US Army Tank-Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC),
AMSRD-TAR-D/210 (FLTT), Warren, MI 48397-5000. Products will not be considered for
inclusion in QPL-46010 until such time as appropriate departmental medical activity has
reviewed all pertinent material safety data sheets (FED-STD-313).
6.4 Falex lubricant tester. Information pertaining to the Falex lubricant tester (see 3.7
and 3.8) can be obtained from the Falex Corp., 1020 Airpark Drive, Sugar Grove, IL 60554.
The attention of the operator is called to the fact that repeatable and reproducible test results can
only be obtained if the test instrument is in proper calibration.
6.5 Explanation of restricted materials.
6.5.1 Exclusion of graphite and powdered metals. In previous experience, graphite,
powdered metals, carbon black, charcoal or other forms of inorganic carbon have caused
accelerated corrosion, due to the galvanic reaction that occurs between the coated surface and the
coating. Also, the exclusion of graphite permits the use of this product in high vacuum; graphite
is not a lubricating solid without moisture or adsorbed air.
6.5.2 Exclusion of lead and lead compounds. Historically, products under the MIL-L-
46010 specification were permitted to contain lead compounds because no alternative existed.
