4.10 Rejection and retest for non-ballistic requirements.
4.10.1 Rejection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or order (see 6.2), failure of the
first article samples to meet the requirements of this specification shall be cause for
rejection of the process, failure of the acceptance samples to meet the requirements of this
specification shall be cause for rejection of the lot (see 4.10.2). For ballistic rejection
procedures, see A.4.1.2.
4.10.2 Retest. Unless specific retest procedure is specified in the contract or order (see 6.2),
two retest samples shall be submitted for each failed sample. Failure of either of the retest
samples (plates) shall be cause for rejection of the material. First article retests shall not be
permitted until the supplier has made the necessary corrections in the processing of the

A.4.1.2.
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 command. 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.

6.1 Intended use. The steel armor covered by this specification is intended for lightweight
applications where resistance to ball and armor piercing types of ammunition and multiple
hit capabilities are required.
6.1.1 Class 1. Class 1 high hardness armor is intended for use in welded structures and
appliqué.
6.1.2 Class 2. Class 2 high hardness armor is intended for use in welded structures and
appliqué. However, its higher carbon equivalence (CE) may make it more difficult to weld
