MIL-DTL-1115E
6.8 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.
