Defence Standard 03-2/Issue 3. Cleaning and preparation of metal surfaces, British Ministry of Defence, March 1995. 

The Cleaning and Preparation of Melal Surfaces, Defence Standard 03-2/1 (1970), obtainable from the Ministry of Defence, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, W.C.I. 

Although many standards exist for cleaning treatments for metal surfaces, for example Defence Standard DEF STAN 03-2/1, these are often fairly general guides which in some cases may be regarded as somewhat outdated due to recent advances in treatment technology and changes in industrial practice. 

Cadmium plating for general engineering use is covered by BS 1706 1960 and BS 3382 1961, and for aircraft parts by Ministry of Aviation Supply Specification DTD 904. Special requirements for very strong steels are given in Defence Standard 03-4 (Directorate of Standardisation, Ministry of Defence).

It is important to note that the alkenes produced in reaction (11.1) can eventually form particulates in the lubricant, a critical criterion used in oxidative stability tests to determine the capabilities of turbine lubricants. This is demonstrated by the oxidative stability test [7] used in the Defence Standards for UK MoD gas turbine lubricant grades OX-7 [8] and OX-26 [9]. 

Mineral-based hydraulic fluids are controlled in the USA by military specification MIL-PRF-5606 and in the UK by Defence Standard 91-48 although the resulting grades of product are effectively the same and both are covered by the same NATO designation H-515 [21]. The most widely used fluid has excellent low temperature properties with a maximum pour point of -60°C due largely to the naphthenic nature of the base oil. The fluid also contains ...

In 1968, Morgan joined a team at Courtaulds to manufacture carbon fibers and subsequently set up and managed a control laboratory to monitor production. He later became involved with production aspects relating to carbon fiber prepreg and pultrusion. Morgan took on the additional role of chief quality inspector in 1976 and gained approval for the production processes to Defence Standard 05-24, the forerunner of BS 5750. In 1980, he was appointed to Courtauld s Carbon Fibres division board as director with technical responsibilities.

The Safety Case provides a justification that the considered system or equipment is safe to be used or deployed in a specific operational environment. One example of a definition is taken from the British Defence Standard JSP 430 ... 

Confidence in a safety case can be affected by not putting into practice understanding that currently exists, or by not having the fundamental understanding. In this paper we attempt to address confidence in safety cases by considering these two different types of uncertainty. In the following subsection, two requirements from Defence Standard 00-56 are presented as examples which demonstrate the difference between the areas where we currently have a suitable level of understanding and problems arise due to what is actually presented (i.e. information uncertainty), and areas... 

Many of the requirements laid down in standards aim to increase confidence. For example requirement 9.1 from Defence Standard 00-56 (issue 3) states ...
