5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order
(see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel
need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging requirements. Packaging
requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point s packaging activities within the Military Service or
Defense Agency, or within the military service s system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Department s or Defense Agency s automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting
the responsible packaging activity.

6.5 Definitions. For the purpose of this specification, the following definition apply:
6.5.1 Dissimilar metals. Dissimilar metals are defined in MIL-STD-889.
6.6 Environmentally preferable material. Environmentally preferable materials should be used to the maximum
extent possible to meet the requirements of this specification. As of the dating of this document, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is focusing efforts on reducing 31 priority chemicals. The list of chemicals
and additional information is available on their website at https://www.epa.gov/osw/hazard/wastemin/priority.htm.
Included in the list of 31 priority chemicals are cadmium, lead, and mercury. Use of the materials on the list should
