contains substitutability or suppression information, the design should permit the substitute or superseding
parts or materials to be used interchangeably.
3.7 Definitions. Definitions applicable to this specification are provided in 6.4.
3.8 Recycled, recovered, environmentally preferable, or biobased materials. Recycled, recovered, environmentally
preferable, or biobased materials should be used to the maximum extent possible, provided that the material meets
or exceeds the operational and maintenance requirements, and promotes economically advantageous life cycle
costs.
3.9 Workmanship. Workmanship shall be in accordance with the following:
a. Cleaning. After fabrication, parts and assembled equipment should be cleaned of smudges; loose,
spattered, or excess solder; weld metal; metal chips and mold release agents; or any other foreign material
which might detract from the intended operation, function, or appearance of the equipment.
b. Threaded parts or devices. Screws, nuts and bolts should show no evidence of cross threading, mutilation,
or detrimental or hazardous burrs, and should be firmly secured.
c. Wiring. Wires and cables should be positioned or protected to avoid contact with rough or irregular surfaces
and sharp edges and to avoid damage to conductors or adjacent parts.
d. Shielding. Shielding on wires and cables should be secured in a manner that will prevent it from contacting
or shorting exposed current-carrying parts. The ends of the shielding or braid should be secured to prevent
fraying.
e. Containment. The harness and cable form containment means should be neat in appearance, uniformly
applied, and positioned to retain critical form factors and breakout locations. The containment means (lacing,
ties, tiedown straps, and so on) should not cause the wire or cable insulation to deform so that performance
characteristics are adversely affected.
f. Insulation. There should be no evidence of burns, abrading, or pinch marks in the insulation that could cause
short circuits or leakage.
