MIL-HDBK-288B

Abstract

The purpose of this handbook is to provide guidance on the review of engineering drawing packages (EDP's). <br>This handbook provides a method to review and document the review of EDP'S. <br>The information contained in Section 5 is intended to be selectively applied to the review of specific EDP's. <br>The contents of this handbook guide the user in reviewing developmental design and product engineering drawings of military equipment. The Government or an authorized representative shall review EDP's during the full-scale engineering development and production/deployment phases of system acquisitions. When tailoring the methods and information in this handbook to the review of specific EDP's, follow these principles: <br>a. Every system is different, and so is every EDP. The number and types of drawings in an EDP vary according to the system they depict. Thus, the number and types of drawings to be reviewed vary from one system acquisition to another. <br>b. The techniques and standards used to review an EDP must be tailored to the type of design an EDP depicts. For example, the review of a wiring diagram requires a completely different approach than the review of an assembly drawing of a mechanical system. Section 5 is written with this in mind. <b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> The information contained in this handbook provides guidance to drawing review personnel. The data in this handbook is not intended to be a check list for non-experienced review personnel to check drawings with. <br>
