Introduction
1. SCOPE
1.1 Purpose. This standard establishes uniform management requirements for a packaging, handling, storage, and transportability (PHST) program. The use of the term transportability program herein refers to those aspects of transportability relative to packaging, handling, and storage and in no way obviates the Department of Defense engineering for transportability program (see 6.1. 2).
1.2 Application.
This standard will be the basis for preparing specifications, work statements, or other documents affecting PHST. The applicable DD Form 1660 displays the applicability of this standard to specific contracts or projects, as also amplified by specific applicable contract or project work statements (see 6.1and 6.2).
