4.6.8 Ozone resistance. The ozone resistance pre-conditioning, ozone concentration,
temperature, and any other chamber conditions shall be the same as specified for the bend-relief
elastomer (rubber) and cable jacket. If no ozone resistance test is specified for the bend-relief
elastomer, the ozone resistance test shall be the same as specified for the cable jacket material.
The bend-relief and adjacent section of cable shall be so constrained that the bend-relief is curved
in a 90-degree arc while in the ozone chamber. The assembly shall meet the requirements of
4.6.9 Cable re-verification. The elongation test for cable re-verification shall be in
accordance with method 3031 of FED-STD-228, and meet the requirements of 3.9.9.
4.6.10 Durometer hardness. Durometer hardness shall be measured in accordance with
method 3021 of FED-STD-601. The tolerance shall be ±5. Durometer hardness shall be as
specified on the applicable drawings and shall meet the requirements of 3.9.10.
4.6.11 Material reversion. The molding, potting, insulating, and jacketing material shall
be tested using specimens approximately 4 inches square by 0.125 inch thick for durometer
hardness Shore "A" testing (see 4.2.1.1.2). Then, they shall be placed in a chamber maintained at
100 ±1 °C and 95 ±2 percent relative humidity without condensation for 28 days. The specimens
shall be so arranged that they do not come into contact with each other or with the chamber walls
or floor. After conditioning, the specimens shall be tested in accordance with 3.9.11.
4.7 Visual and mechanical examination. The cable assemblies shall be examined for the
defects listed in 4.3.2.1, and to verify that the materials, design, construction, physical
and 3.10.
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 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.
