The Department of the Air Force (AFSOC) at Hurlburt Field, Florida, outlines essential requirements for the precision cleaning, testing, and calibration of Military Oxygen Systems in accordance with the Department of Defense Instruction MIL-STD-1330 (SH). Organizations engaged in this task must be certified by the Department of Transportation and comply with METCAL standards to meet US Navy inspection criteria. Upon equipment delivery, inspections by the US Navy's Office of Counsel will verify compliance with DOT/METCAL calibration requirements, further reinforcing quality assurance mandates from NAVSEA OOC, the governing body for tri-services standards. While MIL-STD-1622B is a commonly followed standard, the higher bar is set by MIL-STD-1300, specifically tailored for 100% Oxygen systems, which only a few organizations nationally achieve. Overall, this document underscores the stringent compliance and quality standards that contractors must adhere to in providing military-grade oxygen systems, thus ensuring operational safety and effectiveness.
