6.3 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) No. 46170 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 purchase orders for
the products covered by this specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products

6.5 Fluid handling. Owing to the difficulty of preventing contamination after the
opening of a container, it is recommended that the hydraulic fluid be purchased in 1-quart and 1-
gallon containers by all users. If the fluid is dispensed from larger containers, strict procedures
must be employed to exclude and remove moisture, solid particles or other contaminants from
the fluid.
6.6 Recommended corrosion inhibitor. It has been found that 1.75 ± 0.25% barium
dinony1naphthalene sulfonate provides the required degree of rust protection. The diluent of the
rust inhibitor should be the synthetic hydrocarbon base stock.
6.7 Handling and safety precautions. CAUTION: Personnel handling the product
should wear appropriate impervious clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact.
The local environmental officials will relate health and safety implications as well as to prescribe
precise application of protective clothing. If skin or clothing becomes moistened with the
product, personnel should promptly wash with soap or mild detergent and water. Respirators are
not required unless there is a potential for inhalation exposure to misting. Personnel should wear
protective clothing when using the product and when cleaning up spills.
6.8 Background (safety). The product may contain 3.0wt% tricresyl phosphate, of which
not more than 0.03wt% may be present as the ortho isomer. If this ortho isomer of tricresyl
phosphate is absorbed through the skin or taken internally, it may cause paralysis. The corrosion
inhibitor may contain barium (see 6.6). The accumulated waste liquids will have the exterior of
the outer pack marked as containing barium and tricresyl phosphate to assist disposal facilities to
