MIL-DTL-15090E
6.5 Volatile content. Although the container marking specifically refers to the Federal regulations, the paints
may be used anywhere else a product complying with 3.2 is allowed. This includes other air pollution control
districts or similar areas controlling the emission of solvents into the atmosphere.
6.6 Material safety data sheet (MSDS). The contracting activity should be provided a material safety data sheet
at the time of contract award. The MSDS should be provided in accordance with OSHA section 1910.1200, 29 CFR
Chapter XVII and found as part of FED-STD-313. OSHA section 1910.1200 requires reporting threshold criteria
for known or suspected human carcinogens on MSDS 0.1 percent or greater, and 1 percent or greater for other health
hazards. The MSDS should be included with each unit of issue of material covered by the specification, when
specified (see 6.2).
6.6.1 Material safety data sheets. Contracting officers will identify those activities requiring copies of
completed material safety data sheets prepared in accordance with FED-STD-313. The pertinent Government
mailing addresses for submission of data are listed in FED-STD-313.
6.7 Directions for use. The manufacturer should provide written directions on each container for the mixing
and application of the enamel supplied and this direction should include all information necessary to comply with
OSHA Hazard Communication Act and FED-STD-313. In addition, the manufacturer should prepare an ASTM
F718 data sheet (see 6.6), which should separately detail requirements for small unit (pint, quart, gallon) and large
unit (five-gallon) containers.
6.8 Toxicity evaluation. The Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC) requires sufficient
information to permit an HHA of the product. Any questions concerning toxicity and requests for HHA should be
addressed to the Commanding Officer, Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC), ATTN:
Industrial Hygiene Department, Acquisition Technical Support Division, 620 John Paul Jones Circle, Suite 1100,
Portsmouth, VA 23708-2103. Upon receipt of the HHA, a copy should be provided to the Naval Sea Systems
Command, ATTN: SEA 05S, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, Stop 5160, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376-5160 or
emailed to commandstandards@navy.mil.
6.8.1 Toxicological product formulations. The contractor should have the toxicological product formulations
and associated information available for review by the NMCPHC or appropriate departmental medical service to
evaluate the safety of the material for the proposed use.
6.9 Material certification. Materials to be installed in submarines are to be controlled to prevent off-gassing,
which contaminates the atmosphere and can result in health hazards to personnel or deleterious effects on
machinery. These controls are accomplished through the Submarine Material Control Program, which is described
in the Nuclear Powered Submarine Atmosphere Control Manual, NAVSEA S9510-AB-ATM-010 chapter titled
"Material Control Program." Under the Submarine Material Control Program, all materials considered for use on
submarines require certification and assignment of a usage category. Under the certification process, candidate
materials are selected by Navy activities or contractors, and a request for certification is submitted to the Naval Sea
Systems Command, SEA 05S, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, Stop 5160, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376-5160 or
emailed to commandstandards@navy.mil. The certification request is accompanied by detailed information,
including descriptions of the material, method of application, usage, and storage. A chemical analysis is conducted,
which is normally accomplished through off-gas testing. The off-gas test is required to be conducted in a
Government approved laboratory designated by the preparing activity. Information pertaining to this test
requirement may be obtained from the Naval Sea Systems Command, SEA 05S, 1333 Isaac Hull Ave., SE, Stop
5160, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376-5160 or emailed to commandstandards@navy.mil. Based on the
chemical analysis results, a usage category is assigned to the material defining whether, and to what extent, the
material may be used on submarines.
