4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
4.1 General.

The RPSTL lists and authorizes spares and repair parts; special tools; special Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE); and other special support equipment required for performance of all levels of maintenance of the weapon system/equipment, subsystems, assemblies, and components. It authorizes the requisitioning, issue and disposition of spares, repair parts and special tools in accordance the Source, Maintenance and Recoverability (SMR) codes. When a RPSTL with combined levels of maintenance is authorized, the RPSTL shall contain spares and repair parts data for all levels covered, even though lower levels of maintenance is covered in a separate RPSTL. For example, when both a -20 level (unit) and a -34 level (direct support and general support) RPSTL are published, the -34 RPSTL shall include spare and parts data required for the unit, direct support, and general support level. Illustrations published in the -34 level RPSTL that contain unit authorized items shall be duplicated in the -20 level RPSTL.
