MIL-STD-107J

FOREWORD

1.  This standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense (DoD).

2.  This standard contains instructions for preparing Government-owned industrial plant equipment (IPE) for shipment and storage.  It is not intended for use in the procurement of new equipment.

3.  Thorough cleaning and preservation of IPE during shutdown or immediately thereafter will minimize the necessity for subsequent disassembly operations.  Storage of this type of equipment in humidity-controlled warehouses substantially extends the length of time it may be stored without deterioration.

4.  Requirements for IPE containing hazardous contaminants have been addressed in paragraph 4.13.  Complete instructions for equipment containing or contaminated with explosive, radioactive, corrosive, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), or other toxic materials are not included in this standard.

5.  This standard should be used in conjunction with MIL-HDBK-701, Blocking, Bracing, and Skidding of Industrial Plant Equipment for Shipment and Storage, when preparing IPE for shipment and storage.  The use of DoD reusable skids in accordance with MIL-HDBK-701 is a cost savings effort by the Government.  Therefore, any proposed deviation from the use of DoD reusable skids for equipment weighing 42,000 pounds or less will be directed to the Defense Supply Center Richmond, ATTN:  DSCR-VBD, 8000 Jefferson Davis Highway, Richmond, VA  23297-5610.

6.  Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to:  Defense Supply Center Richmond, ATTN:  DSCR-VBD, 8000 Jefferson Davis Highway, Richmond, VA  23297-5610 by using the self-addressed Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter.
