MIL-HDBK-115B(ARMY)
5.27.4 QC program. A quality control program that applies to complex supplies, components, equipment, and systems should be implemented to provide the necessary quality assurance.
5.28 Quality assurance provisions (QAPs)
5.28.1 QAPs objective. The QAPs included on the Government drawings are the documented requirements, procedures and criteria necessary for demonstrating that designs conform to user requirements and, that material and associated services conform to approved designs. The QAPs should establish a quality baseline by providing the means to audit the product to assure contractor's production capability to meet various requirements in the technical data package.
5.28.2 QAPs required. Normally, QAPs should be prepared for inclusion on component, subassembly, and assembly drawings.
5.28.3 QAPs not required. QAPs are not required for the following:
a. Components, subassemblies, or assemblies that are not required for installation in the maintenance or repair of an end-item, subassembly, or component (except those destined for use in modifications, reconditioning, or retrofit programs),
b. Commercial, proprietary, or off-the-shelf items, unless modified, or where specific performance requirements are necessary for the military application,
c. Simple items such as nuts, bolts, washers, locks, hinges, etc., except when these items are employed for critical usage or high accuracy is required,
d. Items not supported by detail drawings whose requirements are contained in a detail specification, and
e. Components, such as, springs, gears, etc., having like characteristics and that are applicable to a category of related items. In such cases, the QAP should be included in the specification for those items.
5.28.4 Characteristic classification. Each characteristic on the drawing should be classified as critical, major, or minor, as applicable. MIL-STD-1916 may be used as a guide for classifying the drawings. Classification of a characteristic should be determined by analyzing the effect on the end item, if only that characteristic was discrepant. This analytical procedure identifies those characteristics whose conformance will verify the design objectives. The classification of characteristics should be applied to drawings prior to
approval for production. All pertinent QAP data should be entered on each
