MIL-DTL-11414F
3.6.18 Toxic ingredients. Other than parachlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF), the coating shall
contain no benzene, chlorinated solvents or ethylene based glycol ethers and their acetates (see
4.5.29). The coating shall have no adverse effects on the health of personnel when used for its
intended purpose.
3.7 Toxicity clearance. All new chemicals and materials being added to the Army supply system
shall have a toxicity clearance. A toxicity clearance involves a toxicological evaluation of
materials prior to introduction into the Army supply system. The Army program manager shall
be responsible for identifying technically feasible materials and requesting a toxicity clearance
for use of that material within their program (see 6.3.4).
4. VERIFICATION
4.1 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as
follows:
a. Qualification inspection (see 4.2 and 6.3).
b. Conformance inspection (see 4.3).
4.2 Qualification inspection. Qualification shall be conducted by the qualifying activity (see 6.3).
The qualification test sample shall consist of four quarts of the paint. The samples shall be legibly
identified (see 6.3.1). Qualification inspection shall consist of tests for all requirements in section 3
and table IV and examination for user instruction marking (see 3.6.16). The results of each test shall
be compared with the applicable requirement in section 3. Failure to conform to any requirement shall
be counted as a defect, and the paint represented by the sample test shall not be approved for inclusion
in the QPD under this specification.
4.3 Conformance inspection. The manufacturer shall forward from each production lot (see 4.3.1)
a batch validation letter detailing the batch number, manufacturer's code, specification and type
number, QPL number and batch volume to U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), ATTN:
RDRL-WMM-C, Organic Coatings Team, Building 4600, Deer Creek Loop, Aberdeen Proving
Ground (APG), MD 21005-5066. The manufacturer shall perform conformance inspection testing
on each production lot and have these test results on file when requested by the contracting
officer. Conformance inspection shall consist of tests for VOC content, condition in container,
total solids, viscosity, color, contrast ratio, fineness of grind, gloss, and dry time as specified in
sections 3 and 4. There shall be no failures (see 6.5).
4.3.1 Lot and batch formation. For purposes of conformance inspection, a lot shall consist of all
coatings of the same type, composition and color, from a single uniform batch, produced and
offered for delivery at one time (see 6.3.2). A batch shall consist of all coating material (in U.S.
gallons) manufactured during one continuous operation and forming part of one contract or order
for delivery (see 6.3.2). When required, the manufacturer shall furnish with each lot and/or batch
a certified test report showing that the material has passed the conformance inspection, and that
there has been no formulation or process change from that which resulted in the production of
the qualification inspection sample. The addition of any substance to a batch shall constitute a
new lot.
