IPE processed for overseas shipment shall be protected from dirt, moisture, saltwater, salt-air, and other harmful foreign material by a weatherproof enclosure with desiccant conforming to MIL-D-3464. Weatherproof barrier material shall be provided in the form of a case liner, crate liner, shroud or wrap fabricated from barrier material conforming to PPP-B-1055, MIL-PRF-22191, or MIL-PRF-121. The enclosed equipment shall be provided

with a humidity indicator device conforming to MS20003.

4.11 Foam in-place packaging procedures. Foam in-place packaging procedures for IPE, accessories, and component parts shall reference MIL-HDBK-775.

4.12 Technical data. Technical data, including photographs, installation and foundation drawings, manufacturers' parts and operations manuals, and any other data relevant to

operation and maintenance of the IPE shall be assembled and packed in accordance with method 33 of MIL-STD-2073-1. The package shall be protected against puncture and abrasion, sealed with tape conforming to ASTM D 5486/D 5486M, and clearly marked "TECHNICAL DATA" in bold, black letters. The package shall be placed inside a storage compartment of the IPE.

4.13 Hazardous contaminants. IPE and all associated components, parts, and attachments shall be purged of hazardous contaminants before movement by the activity responsible for shipment or storage. Hazardous contaminants include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), asbestos, and radioactive, corrosive, or toxic materials. Unless more stringent state or local standards apply, PCB content of fluids in machinery shall not exceed the limits specified in part

761 of Title 40 CFR. All IPE shall be tested and certified to meet the requirements of part 761 of

Title 40 CFR before storage or shipment.

4.14 Palletizing and skidding. IPE prepared for shipment or placed in storage (except standby-in-place) shall be either palletized or skidded in accordance with MIL-HDBK-774 or MIL-HDBK-701, as applicable. DoD reusable skids shall be returned to a Defense Supply Center directorate of IPE operations in accordance with MIL-HDBK-701.

4.15 Processing items for disposal. IPE prepared for disposal shall be afforded only the minimum preservation and packing necessary to retain the item in the condition existing at the time disposition action was determined.

4.16 Caution tag. A waterproof caution tag shall be affixed to the IPE. The tag shall state: MACHINE HAS BEEN PRESERVED FOR SHIPMENT AND/OR STORAGE. ALL LUBRICANTS HAVE BEEN DRAINED FROM THIS UNIT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE UNTIL LUBRICANTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. BEFORE PUTTING MACHINE INTO OPERATION, SERVICE ALL RESERVOIR AND LUBRICATING SYSTEMS. Other applicable caution tags (HANDLE WITH CARE, METHOD II PACKAGE, CAUTION-SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC DEVICES-DO NOT SHIP OR STORE NEAR STRONG ELECTROSTATIC OR ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS, etc.) shall be affixed as necessary.
