The document outlines the Commercial Item Description (CID) for zippers, specifically slide fasteners used across various applications including clothing and equipment for military and aerospace contexts. It details the types and styles of zippers categorized into five classifications based on their functionality (nonseparating, separating, reversible) and provides extensive specifications regarding materials, dimensions, and performance criteria.
Key points include the various styles of zippers, their structural components, and physical performance requirements outlined in multiple tables. The document emphasizes the importance of material quality, explaining the various components such as chains, locks, and sliders, their operational criteria, and environmental resistance testing, including water resistance and abrasion tolerance.
Regulatory aspects ensure that materials used pose no health hazards and meet sustainability guidelines. Additionally, clear instructions for conformance, visual examination standards, and acceptance criteria are listed. This CID serves as a comprehensive reference for manufacturers and procurement officers to ensure uniformity and reliability in zipper production for government contracts.
The document presents the MIL-DTL-85633D specification for anti-exposure coveralls used by the Department of Defense, specifically the CWU-74/P, CWU-86/P, and CWU-87/P models. It outlines various requirements, including classifications of coveralls by type and size, applicable government documents, and materials specifications. Types II, IV, and V are designated for men's and women's applications, with detailed sizing charts provided.
The specification stipulates the qualifications necessary for manufacturers, including material compliance, construction guidelines, and performance criteria, such as ensuring garments do not leak. The inspection process involves qualification inspections, first article inspections, and ongoing conformance examinations to ensure compliance with rigorous standards.
Detailed construction guidelines include the use of flame-resistant and waterproof materials, correct sewing techniques, and material age limits. Each coverall must be free of manufacturing defects and meet specified dimensions. The document emphasizes adherence to quality control processes, which are essential for the operational readiness of these vital garments designed to protect aircrew in hazardous conditions.
