MIL-HDBK-115 Us Army Reverse Engineering Handbook Guidelines And ProceduresThis HANDBOOK, which provides the guidelines and procedures for performing reverse engineering, was created using current applicable laws and knowledge gained during a trial program from July 1985 to April 1987, and is based on experiences obtained from military and industry participants. This handbook is for guidance only and cannot be cited as a requirement.

5.8.3 Data evaluation considerations. The data evaluation sub-phase should answer the following questions:

a. Are all required manufacturing materials specified in the bill of materials, notes, military or process specifications, or elsewhere within the applicable data? (Any deletions or omissions should be specified.)

b. Are all parts completely dimensioned or otherwise fully defined? (Any deletions or omissions should be specified.)

c. Are all processes, finishes, material specifications, and other necessary elements noted in the data? (Any deletions or omissions should be specified. Notes should be made of any conflicting information or potential errors in the data.)

d. Does the data indicate that the item or components thereof are "Source Controlled," "Altered Item," "Selected Item," or otherwise source restricted? (If so, the applicable restriction and the source(s) should be identified.) Are acceptance test requirements noted? (If so, such requirements should be identified.)

e. Are all inspection requirements which would be required by normal industry engineering practices noted in the available data; such as dye penetrant, hardness tests, etc? (If not, the type of missing information should be identified.)

f. Does the data indicate that the part is critical or has critical characteristics? If so, are the critical characteristics identified and defined? (The findings should be summarized.)

g. Does the manufacture of the item require a loft or contour drawing? If so, is the drawing identified or the required contour adequately described? (If contour or loft drawings are required for manufacture of the item, but are not contained within the data, this fact should be noted.)

h. Is the part made from a forging or casting? If so, are the forging or casting drawing numbers set forth in the data? (If the casting or forging drawings are available, they should be included in the package. The absence of necessary forging or casting drawings should be noted in the evaluation. Whether the available data restricts forging or casting sources to particular firms should also be noted.)
