Process Standards History
DOD-STD-2167A was released on 29 February 1988 and superseded by MIL-STD-498 on 5 December 1994.
MIL-STD-498 was released on 5 December 1994 and cancelled as of June 1998.
IEEE/EIA J-STD-016 was released on 30 September 1995 as an “interim standard” and has not since been updated.
J-STD-016 is a “civilianised” version of MIL-STD-498. The two standards are virtually identical except for some wording changes.
