 has an identifiable relationship with an equivalent
CEI(s) which was qualified by test. The requirement in
the original version of this manual for the Final Config-
uration Review (FCR) has been made an option (to be con-
ducted as required by a Center). Two reviews which occur
during the operational phase, the DCR and FRR are defined
in Apollo Program Directive Nos. 7 and 8, and require inputs
from configuration management functions concerning
configuration status, open items and associated data.
Requirements on the selection and control of Contract
End Items (CEI) are found in Paragraph 8.
4.2 Apollo Change Control System
The control of changes to Apollo hardware/software is
achieved through the use of the multi-level change
control system shown in Figure 2. Six levels of control
are established each of which has specific criteria for
submitting changes to the next higher level for approval.
The requirements for submitting changes to the APO CCB
(Level I) are defined in Paragraph 5.1.3. Each MSF Center
has established Level I1 and subordinate CCB's as defined
in individual Center supplements to this document. (See
Paragraph 5.2.4.) Additional requirements for submittal
of changes to the APO CCB and to MSF Center CCB's are
published from time to time in appropriate APO directives
such as Apollo Program Directive No. 34. Configuration
control is the systematic evaluation, coordination and
approval or disapproval of proposed changes to any base-
line. Formal control of the configuration of end items
starts with the establishment of the Design Requirements
Baseline and continues through completion of all mission
objectives. Exhibit IX is a-key exhibit in this total
rocess since it provides the basis for management
zecision-making after a detail specification for an item
has been initially approved to define the Design Require-
ments Baseline for the item. All Class I changes will
be submitted for approval to the appropriate CCB which
is the functional body responsible for configuration
control. The decision of the CCB will be recorded by
means of a CCB Directive, upon which the Contracting
Officer will issue the contractual authority for the
contractor to effect the change. Engineering changes will
be held to a minimum and should be approved only if nec-
essary to correct safety hazards, safety of flight or
necessary to comply with officially approved performance
requirements. Changes which will result in substantial
cost savings without compromising safety, performance or
schedules should receive a high order of consideration.
4.3 Apollo Configuration Accounting System
Each Center will develop a system capable of reporting
and documenting the changes made to end items, systems
and equipment subsequent to the establishment of a base-
line configuration. Documentation of configuration
 s t a t u s s h a l l b e a s y s t e m a t i c r e c o r d o f approved c h a n g e s ,

comply with standard practice by referencing appropriate
NASA and military specifications and standards to be used
as the basis for preparing Section 5 of each contract end
item specification.
Preparation of Section 6, "Notes"
Any information pertinent to the program which should be
made known as background information shall be stated.
 EXHIBIT I

Preparation of Section 10, "Appendix"

The Appendix or Appendices shall contain requirements which
are a part of the specification but which, for convenience
in specification maintenance, are incorporated as an
Appendix, e.g., requirements of a temporary nature or of
limited effectivity. Appendices may be bound as separate
documents for convenience of handling, e.g., when only a
few parameters of the system are classified, an appendix
containing only the classified material may be established.
Where parameters are placed in the appendix, the paragraph
of Section 10.0 shall be referenced in the main body of the
cognizant specification in the place where the parameter
would normally have been specified.

(See Exhibit XVII.)

6. PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
6.1 Contract End Item Detail Specification
The CEI Specification specifies requirements for a single
CEI type-model-series. The CEI Specification is composed
of two distinct parts, each of which has a different use
in the contractual control of CEI acquisition. Each of
the two parts, when prepared in compliance with these in-
structions, is complete in content and format with respect
to its intended use. The CEI Specification is controlled
and accounted as an entity, using a single configuration
chart and a single specification change log (see Exhibit
VII). Part I is a product of a program definition phase
or requirements analysis and is the engineering instru-
ment used to contract for design and development of the
CEI. Contractor compliance with Part I is determined by
evaluation of qualification, reliability and other test
records. Part I1 of the CEI Specification is a product
of the design and development contract. Part I1 specifies
the CEI in terms of the detail product configuration require-
ments~£the item qualified (or to be qualified) under the
terms and conditions of the design and development contract.
The integrity of Part I1 must be established prior to
its acceptance by NASA.
Acceptance of equipment by Part I1 of the specification is
dependent upon the accuracy with which it specifies detail
configuration requirements of the qualified (or to be qual-
ified) CEI, and the adequacy of quality assurance require-
ments established to control the quality of each individual
unit of the CEI to be produced. The integrity of Part I1
is established -by review. The review (First Article Con-
figuration Inspection - FACI) is accomplished by cross-
comparison of the data specified in Part I1 with qualifi-
cation, reliability and other test records; and with the
configuration fabricated as the first unit to be accepted.
The configuration qualified (or to be qualified) under the
terms and conditions of the design and development contract
shall be clearly identifiable with the configuration spec-
ified in Part 11. Part I1 must be identical to the actual
configuration of the article to undergo FACI. Part I1 is
established as the valid engineering instrument to be im-
plemented contractually for direct control of the CEI.
Contractor compliance shall be determined by normal quality
control procedures. The FACI article and all subsequent
deliveries shall be accepted in accordance with Part I1 of
the Contract End Item Specification. These requirements
shall take precedence over any other requirements for ac-
ceptance which may also apply and be in conflict. For
instructions on the preparation of computer program CEI
Specifications see Exhibit XVIII.
 EXHIBIT I1
e&den&a .to Contract Eric% 'Item De.ta'i
1 Speci'fi'ca't'i'ons
Origination of an addendum to a CEI detail specification
creates in effect a new specification. It is used when an
item to be designed and developed is so like an existing
CEI that it is desirable to restrict design activity to
the same criteria with additions/deletions. An addendum
changes a basic CEI detail specification by adding or dele-
ting requirements on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis. Addenda
shall be identified with a specific issue of a basic specifi-
cation. The specification so created (basic specification
plus addenda) then becomes controlled and maintained as a
separate and distinct specification, to be updated and re-
vised as necessary.

Parr'tI
The following instructional paragraphs are numbered or other-
wise identified to refer directly to the sample formats at-
tached. The sample formats are:
Sample Format "A" - CEI Specification Part I Title Page
Sample Format "B" - Part I of CEI Specification
General deviations from the requirements of this instruction
require prior approval of theprocuring agency. Each CEI
detail specification which deviates from the general require-
ments of this instruction shall.cite, in Section 10, "Appendix",
the procuring agency instrument authorizing the deviation.
"Title Page" - The title page shall conform to
- sample format
"A", and include the following information.
"Specification Number" An identifier unique to this
CEI. (See Exhibit XI
" Revision Identification" Sequentially assigned character(s)
to uniquely identify each re-
vision of the specification.
"Release Date" Date formally released by the
preparing agency.
"CEI Number" Contract End Item Number
(See Exhibit XI
"Approved Nomenclature" In accordance with Exhibit XI
and standard practice.
"Project and/or System List the project and/or system
Identification" or systems which the CEI is de-
signed to support. For CEI's
 EXHIBIT I1

which cannot be identified

with specific systems enter
the phrase, "Not System
Equipment".
"Approval Block" The preparing activity (with
contract number) and the NASA
office with engineering respon-
sibility for the CEI shall vali-
date the specification (Center
Project Office or equivalent).
The title page shall be followed by introductory material
as appropriate, including the End Item Configuration Chart
and Specification Change Log. Such introductory material
shall be followed immediately by Part I of the specification.
Section 1, "Scope" - Begin with the opening sentence/
paragraph as shown in sample format "B". Subsequent
sentence/paragraphs, as indicated by sample format "B",
shall briefly describe the intended general use of the
CEI without direct reference to the system or equipment
to which it is related. Material included may be des-
criptive, qualitative and/or quantitative. The primary
output or use, as well as the primary input or operator
requirements of the CEI, shall be included.
Section 2, "Applicable Documents" - Begin with the lead
phrase contained in sample format "B". List those docu-
ments (specifications, standards.,drawings, bulletins,
manuals, etc.), which are applicable to paragraphs within
the body of the specification. Within the body of the
specification, reference to those documents shall be by
basic document number and/or other applicable designation.
Refer to Defense Standardization Manual 4120.3-M for
further instructions on listing of applicable documents.
Section 3, "Requirements" - Specify performance and
desiqn requirements for the CEI. Include the functional
requirements for the CEI and establish requirements
which are measures of the efficiency/effectivities of
the CEI. Define the CEI and specify design constraints
and standards necessary to assure compatibility of the
CEI with the total program project or system. For CEI's
which directly support a program, project(s) or system(s),
performance and design requirements are allocated from,
identical with, or in recognition of, requirements estab-
lished by the program, project, or system specification.
When "system engineering" procedures are a part of the
contract, the requirements appearing in this Section
shall be based on the "system engineering" documentation
developed as a result of "system engineering" procedures.
Quantitative requirements shall be included within the
principal sub-paragraphs.

information which is stated here for administrative
convenience only, and is not a part of the specification
for the CEI in the contractual sense, i.e., it shall
-
not include requirements which constrain design,
development, and qualification of the CEI and require
compliance by a contractor. Information of importance
to the procuring agency in using the particular
specification as a contractual instrument for acquisition
of the CEI, either initially, or for follow-on procurement
shall be included.
Para ra h 6.1, "Supplemental Informatic -
&information or rationale which will
be of assistance in understanding the specification
itself or using the CEI it specifies, may be included,

Paragraph 6.2, "Alternate Source Qualification" -
When a CEI is fabricated bv an alternate source (other
than the one who initially-developed and qualified the
CEI deslgn) formal qualification testing of the CEI
will be required to demonstrate and verify the capability
of the alternate source to produce the CEI to the require-
ments of this specification without degradation in its
performance or reliability. (See Part 11, Paragraph 10.2).

limited to requirements which are:
a. Bound separately for convenience as in the
case of a classified appendix or a large
body of statistical data.
b. Are of a temporary nature, as in the case
of an interim performance requirement for
early test models of the CEI. (Requirements
peculiar to early test units of the CEI shall
be specified in the appendix which adds to,
deletes, changes, or establishes new re-
quirements applicable to Sections 3 and 4
of Part I.) Instrumentation requirements
for the test units of the CEI shall be
specified only to the level of detail
necessary to establish the type and total
capacity, of the instrumentation. Re-
quirements (with the exception of

Paragraph 10.1. "Acceptance Requ.irements

for un'i.ts.o,f'the.'CEIyn''a''Te's't -
'coh'f'i.g'u'r'a.t'ion"
During design and development of the CEI,
individual units of the CEI, in a test
configuration, must be accepted by the
procuring agency to recognize transfer
of accountability and/or permit de-
struction of the unit in test, or to
deliver the unit as Government-furnished
property to a second contractor to permit
integrated system testing. The format and
general content of a Part I1 used for /
purposes of accepting units of the CEI in
a test configuration shall conform to the
requirements established herein for a Part
I1 used to accept hardware for the mission.
Part 11's used as a basis for acceptance of
units of a CEI in a test configuration shall
satisfy the requirements for minimum
specification content contained in
paragraphs 3.2.1, 3.2.2, and 4.2.1 of
Part 11. Further detail content shall be
as defined by the procuring agency. Instru-
mentation requirements shall be included.
Instrumentation requirements specified shall
be limited to establishing the total capability
or capacity of the instrumentation to be
installed, and the quality of installation,
and shall not include details of calibration,
channel assignments, and instruments, etc.,
which change frequently and hence would make
maintenance of the specification un-
necessarily burdensome.
Paragraph 10.2 "Alternate Source Qualification" -
When a CEI is fabricated by an alternate source
(other than the one who initially developed and
qualified the CEI) verification is required of the
capability of the alternate source to produce the
CEI to the requirements of this specification with-
out degradation in its performance or reliability.
Such verification shall require the performance
of complete qua1ification testing in accordance with
paragraph 4.1.3 "Formal Qualification Tests". of
Part I of this speicification; or as otherwise
specified by the procuring agency.
 EXHIBIT I1

Frequently, a requirement develops for a CEI which

is very similar to an existing CEI. When this occurs,
it is desirable to create the new CEI bp accomplishing
minimum redesign of the existing CEI. To accomplish
this, it is necessary to maintain visibility through-
out the design and development cycle of differences
in performance, design and configuration requirements
between the two CEI's. This visibility is acquired
and maintained by creating the specification for the
new CEI as an addendum to the specification for the
existing CEI.
The use of a specification addendum presents a formal
means of writing a specification for a new CEI by
changing the specification for an existing CEI in
a manner which permits ready comparison of the
exact relationship between two items of equipments.
This is accomplished by writing the new specification
by direct reference to the existing specification
on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis, recordina in the
new specification and noting each addition, deletion,
change, or where no change is necessary, the words
"no change". The paragraph numbering between the
two documents will be identical, with the exception
of paragraphs added to the new document which do
not have an exact counterpart in the existing
specification.
A specification created in this manner is a new
and complete specification in every sense. The
method of preparing a specification for a new
CEI by creating an addendum to an existing
specification shall be used when the following
considerations are satisfied:
a. There is sufficient reason to establish
direct relationship-betweenthe new CEI
and an existing CEI as a basis for design
and development, e.g., progressing from
one type, model, series of a CEI to
another; minor changes must be ac-
complished to a very limited number
of units of a CEI for a specific mission,
as is the case with space boosters.
 EXHIBIT I1

b. The basic specification, to which the

addendum is prepared, compiles with
the requirements of this exhibit,
with respect to format and content.
The specification created by use of an addendum must
be identified and maintained as a separate specification.
Boththe specification created by nse of an addendum,
and the basic specification to which the addendum is
prepared shall have independent change cycles. A
specification change notice to either is not auto-
matically a change to both. Each change to either
must be reviewed, and if it is desirable to change
both the basic specification and the specification
prepared as an addendum, two separate specification
change notices must be prepared.
When a new specification is created by the preparation
of an addendum to an existing specification, an
"Addendum Notice" shall be prepared which conforms
to the format and includes the content required by
sample format "En. The "Addendum Notice" shall be
the first entry in Section 2, "Applicable Documents."
All of the data in the "Addendum Notice" refer to
the specification used as the basic document for
preparation of the addenda. Each item of data to
be entered shall be transcribed from the title
page and specification change log of the basic
specification.
Note: For filing and distribution an Addendum Speci-
fication must always be accompanied by the
specification to which it relates. See Sample
Format "E".

PREPARATION OF
CONTRACT END ITEM DETAIL SPECIFICATION
(IDENTIFICATION ITEM)

1. PURPOSE
This Exhibit provides NASA Apollo organizations and contractors
with requirements and guidance for the preparation of a contract
end item (CEI) detail specification for an item of equipment
categorized as an "Identification Item".
2. SCOPE
These instructions define the content and format for a CEI
specification for a contract end item categorized as an "Identi-
fication Item".
3. APPLICABILITY
An "Identification Item" is one which satisfies the following
criteria:
a. It can be qualified by inspection and/or simple
demonstration.
b. Once in manufacturing, quality control at manufacturing
level can be the basis for verification of quality,
and acceptance can be based on verification that the
item, as fabricated and assembled, conforms to the
drawings. Acceptance testing to verify performance
will not be specified.
c. Because of its use, relationship to other end items,
and simplicity of function and design, few, if any,
design changes are anticipated once the product config-
uration baseline for the item is established.

5. EXPLANATION OF TERMS
See Exhibit XVII.

I 6. PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
Examples of end items specified in this type of specification
are handling equipment, special tools, adapters, brackets,
mounting fixtures, dollies, work stands, reuseable containers,
off-the-shelf commercial items with minor contractor modifica-
tions, etc.
NOTE: A number of closely related items may be assembled
and controlled as piece-parts under a single draw-
ing and part number as a kit, if they are related
functionally, and will be allocated as a unit for
initially equipping the using agency. Under these
circumstances, the "kit" requires only a single
identification specification.
The format of this specification is based on the premise that
the requirements specification is a brief, concise document,
and that few changes will be required; hence, it is more econom-
ical to reissue the complete specification with a specification
change log that permits changes to individual parts of the doc- '

ument on an "add" and "delete" basis and use of the

configuration chart as the only means of recording changes to the
specification. (See Exhibit VII for specification maintenance
instructions.) All CEI specifications are prepared in two dis-
tinct parts: Part I specifies performance/design and qualifica-
tion requirements. Part I1 specifies product configuration,
quality assurance and preparation for delivery requirements.
For a detailed definition of the nature and use of each of the
two parts of a CEI specification, see Exhibit 11, paragraph 6.
The following instructional paragraphs are numbered or otherwise
identified to refer directly to sample format "A".
Specification Title Data
The title of the specification shall be "Contract End Item
Detail Specification (Identification Item) Performance/
Design/Product Configuration Requirements" and shall in-
clude the following:
"Approved Nomenclature"
I

"Project/System Name" List the project(s) or sys-

tems (s) which the CEI is de-
signed to support. For CEI's
which cannot be identified
with a project (s) or systems(s),
e.g., equipment storage cabinets,
enter the phrase "Not Project(s1
or System (s) Equipment".
 EXHIBIT IV

Sp.ecifidation'Ideritification and A~~th~entic'dti'dn'~

Data
Specification identification and authentication data shall
include the following:
"Specification Number" An identifier, unique, within
a project or system, to this
CEI. (See Exhibit X. )
"Revision" Sequentially assigned character(s1
to uniquely identify each revision
of the specification number and
revision identification which may
be composed of alphabetic and/or
numeric characters, or both.
(See Exhibit X. )
"Release Date" Date formally released by the
preparing activity.
"CEI Number" Contract End Item Number.
(See Exhibit X. )
"Approval Block" The preparing activity (contractor
or Government organization pre-
paring the specification) shall
formally approve the specification,
The procuring agency (Apollo Pro-
ject Office or equivalent) shall
formally approve the specification.
6.1 Instructions for the Preparation of Pa'rtI, "Performance/
Design and Qualification Requ.irements
The following instructions are applicable to the preparation
of Part I of the specification:

the drawing. Standards of manufacture, manufacturing
processes and production which must be verified at
time and place of delivery to establish the quality
of the CEI, shall be specified. All requirements
shall be specified at environmental conditions normal
to the place of acceptance, and shall not attempt to
simulate the environment in which the CEI shall be
used. Requirements shall be specified in physically
measureable quantitative terms, with tolerances, in
terms of the CEI itself, and without direct reference
to equipments or facilities with which the CEI must
be compatible. Requirements shall be specified to
the level of detail necessary to establish limits
for the verifications to be specified in Section 4
of Part 11.
6.2.4 Section 4, "Quality Assuran'ce" This section shall
include applicable content of "Apollo Test Require-
ments", NHB-8080.1; NASA Quality Assurance Publication

that the CEI, as fabricated and assembled, complies
with the production drawings and the verification/
demonstrations necessary to assure that the CEI, as
manufactured and assembled, satisfies the require-
ments of Section 3 of Part I1 shall be specified.
Each demonstration/verification shall be specified to
the level of detail necessary to establish the va-
lidity and accuracy of the verification method, and
present a clear, nonsubjective determination of the
quality of the CEI.
6.2.5 Section 5, "Preparation for Delivery" This section
shall specify requirements for preservation, pack-
aging, packing, and marking or otherwise preparing
the CEI for shipment. To the.extent practical this

PREPARATION OF
DETAIL SPECIFICATIONS
(CRITICAL COMPONENTS)
1. PURPOSE
This Exhibit provides NASA Apollo organizations and contractors
with requirements and guidance for the preparation of detail
specifications for critical components which are part of a contract
end item.
2. SCOPE
Administrative and specification requirements are established for
the preparation of detail specifications for components which have
been identified in a contract end item detail specification, as:
a. Engineering critical components
b. Logistic critical components
Critical component detail specifications, with the contract end
item detail specification to which they apply, shall fully define
all qualification requirements for the contract end item (CEI).
3. APPLICABILITY
Applies to all critical component specifications which are
incorporated by reference in a contract end item (CEI) detail
specification (refer to Exhibits I1 and 111), and which are to be
approved by the procuring agency at the time the CEI has been
qualified.
4. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
The following documents of the exact issue shown, or part thereof
as further described, form a part of this exhibit:
Exhibit I1 "Preparation of Contract End Item Detail
Specification (Prime Equipment)."
Exhibit I11 "Preparation of Contract End Item Detail
Specification (Facility)."
5. EXPLANATION OF TERMS
See Exhibit XVII.
6. PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
6.1 General Requirements
NASA shall normally state the complete requirements for design
and manufacture of a contract end item in a contract end item
 EXHIBIT VI
detail specification. Normally, the CEI, and all of its parts,
will be qualified as an entity, and the engineering data and
qualification test results submitted in accordance with the CEI
specification will fully provide the logistic and reprocurement
requirements. In preparing a CEI specification for large and
complex equipment, the contractor, or procuring agency, will
list therein, certain components of the CEI to be individually
specified and qualified as engineering or logistic critical
components. Components so listed in an approved CEI specifica-
tion shall be specified and processed in accordance with this
exhibit.
6.1.1 Engineering Critical Component Selection The contractor
in conjunction with NASA, shall desisnate components of
a CEI as engineering critical components when-one or
more of the following applies:
a. Qualification of the component will suffice to
qualify the entire CEI.
b. Reliability of the component is critical, i.e., it
will jeopardize crew safety, mission success or sig-
nificantly affect the ability of the CEI to perform
its overall function.
c. Technical complexity and/or producibility of the
component is sufficiently critical to warrant an
individual specification.
d. The CEI cannot be adequately qualified except by
separately qualifying the component.
The contractor shall list all engineering critical com-
ponents in Part I of the CEI specification (see Exhibits
I1 and 111). Once Part I of the CEI has been formally
approved, the contractor shall add or delete critical
components therein by submitting a design requirements
ECP. (See Exhibit IX.) The contractor shall proceed in
accordance with this exhibit when the CEI specification
, or ECP is approved.
6.1.2 Logistics Critical Component Selection The contractor,
in conjunction with NASA, shall designate components
of a CEI as logistics.critical components when one or
more of the following applies:
a. The component is an item for which the provisioning
of spares or selection of spares is required.
b. The component has been identified for multiple
sonrce procurement, by NASA.
The contractor, in conjunction with NASA, shall list
all logistic critical components in Part I of the
CEI specification. Once Part I of the CEI has been for-
mally approved, the contractor shall add or delete cri-
tical components therein by submitting a design require-
ments ECP. (See Exhibit IX.) The contractor shall pro-
ceed in accordance with this exhibit when the CEI
specification or ECP is approved.

mined); if it is not applicable, use N/A.
If all data cannot be included within the
space allocated on the forms, use attach-
ments as necessary, with appropriate refer-
ences in the blocks.
6.1.1.2 Supersession. When a contractor is re-
quested to resubmit an SCN, the resubmitted
SCN shall retain the same SCN number with
a new date. An SCN may be revised and re-
submitted for the following reasons:
a. A revision to the ECP.
b. As requested by the procuring agency.
c. Contractor initiated, e.g., typograph-
ical corrections, supplying the latest
engineering information, etc.
When the revision and resubmittal of an
SCN cannot be correlated with specific
CCB direction, the contractor shall
clearly state the reason for revision in
the submittal letter. When an SCN is re-
vised and resubmitted, the resubmitted SCN
shall show that the previous dated SCN has
been superseded. The contractor shall not
cancel an SCN that has been formally sub-
mitted to the procuring organization with-
out formal approval of the procuring agency.
An SCN may be cancelled prior to submission
to the procuring agency. In such cases,
contractor records shall show that cancel-
lation was the result of "in-house" activity.
6.1.1.3 SCN Numbers. (See Exhibit X)
6.1.1.4 Preliminary/Final SCN's. Preliminary SCN's
shall be clearly marked as such. Final
SCN's shall be indicated by the completion
of block 5, citing the contractual authority,
e.g., a Contract Change Notification (CCN).
When mutually agreed between the contractor
and the procurring agency, final SCN's may
be transmitted on a periodic basis in a group
rather than individually on an as accom-
plished basis.
6.1.1.5 Effectivity (Block 6). Block 6 shall be
completed to show the Contract End Item
Serial Numbers of all articles affected
by the SCN.
6.1.1.6 Effect of Change (Block 7). Block 7 shall in-
dicate specifically the specification change
to be made. In those instances when an
 EXHIBIT VII

ECP does not result in an actual change

to the text of the specification, the entry
in this block shall merely state that this
ECP is added.to the Specification Change
Log. If the change to the specification
is in the wording of a paragraph, include,
verbatim, the statement of change to the
specification, which shall call out the
paragraph and be in one of the following
fo m s :
a. Add:
b. Delete:
c. Change from to
6.2 Specification Change Log
The Specification Change Log is used with - all types of
specifications to formally record contractually authorized
Specification Change Notices to an approved revision of
the specification. Therefore, the Specification Change
Log, in addition to reflecting an identification of
applicable SCN's, shall in fact, serve as a continuation
of the specification configuration chart described in
paragraph 6.3. The contractor will be required to
submit a revised and current log, as a cover sheet, to
each final SCN submitted for approval. The Specification
.
Change Log shall be prepared to comply with sample format
II B I'
A Specification Change Log shall be prepared and
submitted with each SCN and ECP. On those ECP's that
do not affect the words and criteria in the specification
and merely change hardware, the SCN prepared will indi-
cate only that the ECP has been added to the change log.
6.3 Specification Configuration Chart
The Specification Configuration Chart shall be prepared
to comply with sample format "C". The Configuration
Chart is a summary record which identifies approved
engineering change proposals with indivual revisions
to the specification. The chart shall not be updated
by the contractor, except by means of complete revision
and updating of the entire specification, subject
to the approval of the procuring organization and
in accordance with this exhibit. The Specification
Configuration Chart shall be inserted between the
title page and the first page of the specification.
A Specification Configuration Chart shall be prepared
and submitted with each revision of a Specification.
 EXHIBIT VII

A revision is defined as the reissue of the specifi-

cation, with all the SCN's incorporated in the body
of the specification. A specification shall not be
revised without specific approval of the procuring
agency. The specification revision shall incorporate
the information identified on the latest approved
Specification Change Log. Configuration charts shall
be revised to incorporate all applicable ECP entries
which were recorded in the log. At the discretion
of the CMO, the specification may be maintained
by requiring replacement pages which shall accompany
the SCN. The CMO will establish a procedure to
indicate that a replacement page has been used
and properly inserted in the applicable specification.
6.5 Specification Identification Index
6.5.1 The Specification Identification Index shall
be prepared to comply with the sample format
"D". The Specification Identification Index
is a record which identifies all specifica-
tions, and -
all approved changes thereto.
This document will be prepared by the con-
tractor. Publication and distribution of the
index will be as specified by the procuring
agency. The procuring agency, through copies
of CCB Directives, will keep the contractor
advised which SCN's will appear in the index.
There will be a separate page for each speci-
fication. The initial issue will include all
specifications which are part of the design
requirements baseline. As requirements for
additional items are established, additional
specifications will be added to the index.
6.5.1.1 Preparation of the Specification
Identification Index:
1. Nomenclature. Enter the title
of the specification being
reported.
2. Enter the number of the specifi-
cation .being reported.
3. Enter the contract end item
number assigned by the contractor
for this item of hardware.

PREPARATION OF
ENGINEERING CHANGE PROPOSALS
FOR CONTRACT END ITEMS

1. PURPOSE
This Exhibit provides NASA Apollo organizations and contractors
with requirements and guidance for uniform procedures for pre-
paring, formating, and processing engineering changes to contract
end items of equipment and facilities and Direct Support Real
Property Installed Equipment (DS-RPIE).
2. SCOPE
This Exhibit establishes requirements for configuration control
and for submittal of Engineering Change Proposals (EcP's) in
accordance with MIL-STD-480. These procedures are based on:
a. The use of management baselines to establish the
departure points for configuration control of
contract end items.
b. The use of contract end item detail specifications to
define and document these baselines, and engineering
changes thereto.
c. The use of MIL-STD-480 as written for its primary'
purpose.
The procedures in this exhibit shall be used for proposing
changes in all contract end items of .equipmentand facilities
and DS-RPIE to be formally accepted by the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration for use on the Apollo Program. This
includes both system and non-system contract end items.
3. APPLICABILITY
This Exhibit is applicable to contract end item definition, design,
development, fabrication, and test phases of the program.

uration of systems/equipment under design, development,
test and manufacturing.
 EXHIBIT XVII

4.12 Configuration Identification Index

A document prepared initially during the design and devel-
opment period of system/equipment development, and continued
through the acquisition phase. The document is arranged in
tabular form and has provisions for inclusion of all changes
which result from contractor or program office action.
4.13 Configuration Iden'tificationNutnbers
The relationship of numbers which, individually or in combin-
ation, permit accurate selection of the configuration required
to perform a given function.
These numbers are:
a. CEI numbers
b. Part numbers

4.14 Configuration Management
The formal set of procedural concepts by which a uniform sys-
tem of configuration identification, control, and accounting
is established and maintained for all NASA systems/equipment
and components thereof.
4.15 Configuration Management Office (CMO)
The organization within the Project Office or equipment direc-
torate, which is responsible for the formalization, issuance
and maintenance of the three aspects of configuration manage-
ment - configuration identification, control, and accounting;
for the administration of the CCB; for the direction and super-
vision of the specification program; and for the transfer of
all configuration documentation as applicable.
4.16 Configuration Status
The official NASA documented indication of the actual config-
uration of a serially numbered system or equipment at any given
time in relation to an approved configuration.
4.17 Contract End Item (CEI)
An arbitrary designation for the portions of a system/equip-
ment identifiaction as a result of a formal functional anal-
ysis. It is a functional entity physically related and sel-
ected for the purpose of system development, procurement,
and logistics. The following criteria shall be used in the
selection of an end item:
 EXHIBIT XVII

a. An end item shall be procurable by the government

to a single specification.
b, An end item shall be identified by a single top
drawing which has been prepared in conformance with
appropriate military specifications.
c. An end item shall be identified by a separate and
distinct part number and serial number.
d. The physical and functional characteristics of an
end item shall be such that its configuration can
be controlled and documented economically regard-
less of the number of changes approved and/or incor-
porated therein.
e. The location of the distinct/separate parts of an
end item should be such that they are not remotely
located with respect of one part to another, i.e.,
black boxes should be located in the same area AVE
system compartment, same maintenance area, etc.
f. By definition, magnetic tapes and card decks used
with checkout equipment are classified as end items
and subject to change control.
4.18 Contract End Item ~etailSpecification (Facility) (See
Exhibit 111)
The FCEI specification is composed of two distinct parts,
each of which has distinct and different uses in FCEI ac-
quisition. Part I, facility criteria, is a product of a
Program Definition Phase or requirements analysis, and is
the engineering instrument used to contract for design and
development of the FCEI. Part I1 of the FCEI specification,
the construction bid package (contract, plans and specifi-
cation), is a product of the design and development contract.
Part I1 specifies the FCEI in terms of the detailed product
configuration requirements of the facility suitable for
contracting actual facility construction.
4.19 Contract End Item Detail Specification (Identification
Item) (See Exhibit IV)
A CEI specification is prepared for each end item of equip-
ment categorized as an identification item. An "identifica-
tion item" is one which satisfies the following criteria:
a. It can be qualified by inspection and/or simple
demonstration.
b. Quality control at the production level can be the
basis for verification of quality, and acceptance
can be based on verification that the item conforms
to the drawings.
 EXHIBIT XVII

c. Because of its use and simplicity of function and

design, few design changes are anticipated once
the product configuration baseline for the item is
established.
4.20 Contract End Item Detail Specification (Prime Equipment)
(See Exhibit 11)
The CEI (prime equipment) specification specifies designs,
development, test and acceptance requirements for a single
CEI type-model-series, which cannot be defined be the sim-
plified formats of an identification specification or a
requirements specification. The CEI specification is com-
posed of two distinct parts each of which has distinct and
different uses in the contractual control of CEI acquisi-
tion. Part I is a product of a Program Definition Phase
or requirements analysis, and is the engineering instrument
used to contract for design and development of the CEI.
Part I1 of the CEI specification is a product of the design
and development contract. Part I1 specifies the CEI in
terms of the detail product configuration requirements of
the item qualified (or to be qualified) under the terms and
conditions of the design and development contract.
4.21 Contract End Item Detail Specification (Requirement Items)
(See Exhibit V)
A CEI specification is prepared for each end item of equip-
ment categorized as a requirement item. A "requirement
item" is one which satisfies the following criteria:
a. It has been developed.
b. It is in NASA inventory.
c. It is required to support an item or items being devel-
oped, either to be used with, or to be assembled into,
that itern(s1.
Contract End Item Number
The CEI number is a permanent number assigned by the con-
tractor to identify a contract end item,
4.23 Critical Design Review (CDR)
The critical design review is a formal technical review of
the design of a contract end item (CEI). The CDR is accom-
plished when the detail design is essentially complete in
order to formally establish the design as the basis for
supporting activities, e.g., preparation of provisioning
documentation preparation of technical manuals, actual pro-
visioning of initial spares, etc. The primary product of
the CDR is formal identification and NASA approval of speci-
fic engineering documentation which defines the design of
the CEI, and which will be released for manufacturing of the
unit that establishes the product configuration baseline
("first article", or equivalent).
 EXHIBIT XVII

4.24 Definition Phase

The period preceding the Acquisition Phase, during which
the Apollo Program Specification is completed and Part I
of the end item specification is completed.
4.25 Design Requirements Baseline
The design requirements baseline is established at the
beginning of the Acquisition Phase and consists of the com-
posite of design requirements for a single contract end item
contained in an approved Part I to the detail specification
for the CEI. Part I of the specification for essentially
all CEI's is available at a single point in time, the design
requirements baseline for all CEI's can be clearly identified
as a system baseline.
4.26 Detail Specification (Critical Components) (See Exhibit VI)
Detail specifications are required for components which have
been identified in a contract end item detail specification
as "engineering critical components" and/or "logistic criti-
cal components".
4.27 Direct Support Real Property Installed ~quipment (DS-RPIE)
Individual RPIE items of equipment, systems or subsystems that
are essential to the launching and guidance of a space vehicle,
the absence of which would preclude the system's performing
its assigned mission.
4.28 Effectivity
The specific contract end item family and serial number(s)
to which part numbers, ECP's, CCN's, DD 250's waiver docu-
ments, etc., are addressed.
4.29 Engineering Critical Components
Components of a CEI are designated engineering critical.
when :
a. Qualification of the component will suffice to
qualify the entire CEI.
b. Reliability of the component is critical, i.e., it
will jeopardize crew safety, mission success, or
significantly affect the ability of the CEI to per-
form its overall functions.
c. Technical complexity and/or producibility is suffi-
ciently critical to warrant an individual specifica-
tion, and the CEI cannot be adequately qualified
except by separately qualifying the component.

sequent use by in service and/or contractor
personnel in diagnosing trouble, making adap-
tation changes, and designing modifications to
the CPCEI .
2.2 Specification Addenda
An addendum to a CPCEI specification establishes requirements
for a new end item which, in terms of performance and design,
is so much like an existing CPCEI that it is desirable to
refer to an existing specification on an "add" and "delete"
basis.
3. APPLICABILITY
This exhibit is applicable to NASA agencies and NASA contractors
responsible for the development of computer programs which are
classified as end items. Guidelines for the selection of end items
are given in Exhibit XI. Each contractor to the Goverpent shall
be responsible for compliance by his subcontractors, vendors, and
suppliers to the extent that his subcontractors, vendors, and sup-
pliers participate in the preparation of this type of specification.

6.1 Computer Program Contract End Item Detail Specification
The CPCEI specification defines requirements for a computer
program that has been identified as a CPCEI. The CPCEI speci-
fication is composed of two distinct parts. Each of which has
distinct and different uses in the contractual control of CPCEI ac-
quisition. Each of the two parts, when prepared to comply with

specifiy CPCEI tests which are required in direct support of
system integration, i.e., integration of the CPCEI, hardware,
external environment (communication lines, etc.) and operating
personnel into an operative computer-based system. Considera-
tion should be given to the impact of training on CPCEI test
design. Such tests, prior to formal acceptance tests, usually
involve attempting to run parts of the CPCEI functions on a
limited basis as components of the computer-based system are
installed sequentially. This subparagraph shall identify
each performance/design requirement to be verified in each
test.
Subparagraph 4.2.2, "Acceptance/Qualification Test" - This
sub~araara~h shall s~ecifivrequirements for formal qualifi-
cation of the integrated CPCEI -to demonstrate and/or -verify
that the requirements established in Seetion 3 have been
satisfied. This paragraph shall, in subparagraphs as appro-
priate, specify the requirement and method of verification
for the requirements specified in Section 3.
Verification of the requirements may be accomplished by
inspection, or review of analytical data, or by demonstration,
or test and review of test data, or combinations of these.
Section 5, "Preparation for Delivery" - This section is not
amlicable to Part I of the CPCEI specification. Requirements
fb; preparation of the CPCEI for shipment and deliveGy are con-
tained in Section 5, Part Ii of this specification.
Section 6, "Notes" - This section shall include information
which is stated here for administrative convenience only and
is not a part of the specification for the CPCEI in the con-
tractual sense, i.e., it shall not include requirements which
constrain design, development, and qualification of the CPCEI
and require compliance by the contractor.
This section of the specification shall include information
of particular importance to the procuring agency in using
this particular specification as a contractual instrument for
acquisition of the CPCEI, either initially or for follow-on
procurement.

7.2 Identification Numbers and Markings

Numbers must be assigned to a CPCEI, its parts, and
its specifications to assure that these items may be
properly identified.
The selection of a numbering system must be consistent and
provide unique identifiers for all items. The detailed
requirements for the numbering system used in NASA are given
in EXHIBIT X.
The required CPCEI numbers are:
7.2.1 Specification Number: consisting of a prefix code,
a document identifier number, and a suffix code
indicating the latest approved version of the
document,
7.2.2 End Item Number: the unique reference number by
which the end item can always be identified. It
is assigned in the definition phase as soon as
the end item is identified. The end item number
consists of a unique end item identifier plus a
series number to distinguish end items within a
series.
7.2.3 Part Number: a number for each identified "part"
which is within the end item. For a CPCEI, a
"part" is defined to be the card decks, magnetic
tapes, etc., in which the program is contained.
A physical part as defined above may in many cases
correspond to a logical part, a computer program
component (CPC). To facilitate identification:
a) Each card deck containing a CPC is given a
header card and a trailer card. Each card
contains the name and number of the CPCEI
and the name and part number of the subprogram.
These cards are treated as comment cards by
the assembler or compiler; that is, they have
no program functions other than identifying
a particular card deck.
b) Each card is marked by a printed CPCEI number
and a punched sequence number identifying its
location within the deck. In a large enough
project it is recommended that the CPCEI numbers
be preprinted on the cards for convenience.
The punched sequence number not only serves as
a unique card identifier (when coupled with the
CPCEI number) but also allows the computer or
AD]? equipment to be used in ordering a "shuffled'
deck of cards.
 EXHIBIT X I X

c) Each CPC c a r d deck i s color-coded f o r e a s y

identification. The band o r c a s e of
each subprogram deck i s marked by t h e CPCEI
number and p a r t number.
d) Each t a p e r e e l , t a p e c a n n i s t e r , d i s c , o r
o t h e r s t o r a g e medium used i s marked w i t h
t h e CPCEI number and p a r t number. Where

PIRN's shall be routed by the CCB to the
organization Panel Chairman or Co-Chair-
man (at the Center receiving the ECP)
for review and evaluation. A copy of
the ECP (s) shall accompany the PIRN1s
and the change(s1 shall be handled as a
package. Approved PIRN's may become
IRN's.
6.2-3.3 Effectivities - Effectivities for ICD1s/
IRN's shall be assigned to, and on, each
ICD/IRN for the Apollo Program end items
for which the Center is responsible.
Where effectivities cover "subsequent"
items, the ICD/IRN shall note all appli-
cable effectivities.
6.2.3.4 Approval - Each ICD or IRN shall be sub-
mitted to the appropriate Panel Co-Chair-
men or Senior Representatives. The Panel
Chairman first receiving the document will
apply the Apollo Interface Control Document
form decal, which provides a signature
block for the approval signatures of the
Panel Co-Chairmen or Senior Representatives.
Differences must be worked out by the Co-
Chairmen and Senior Representatives until
all concerned have evidenced their approval
by signature, or the document is invali-
dated and returned to the originator with
appropriate comment. The Panel Co-Chairmen
will forward approved documents to each
affected Center Level I1 CCB(s) for approval/
disapproval and implementation by CCBD,
6.2.4 Implementation - Once approved by the affected Apollo
Program Manager (Center) CCB1s (and forwarded to the
Repository for release) ICD's and approved changes
(IRN's) thereto shall be unilaterally implemented by
the appropriate Center/Project contracts office
against the affected contractor(s). Contractor im-
pact response shall be in the form of ECP's submitted
to affected CCB1s thru established contractual
channels. Where major impacts might be expected,
the Centers, unless implementation is directed by
the Apollo Program Director CCB, may request con-
tractor (s) impact (s) in the form of an ECP (s) and
resolve Inter-Center incompatibilities thru joint
Apollo Program Management, CCB action, or by forwarding
recommendations to the Apollo Program Director CCB
for resolution prior to implementation.
6.2,5 Interface Revision Notice (IRN) Processing - Inter-
face Revision Notices (IRN's) shall be used to doc-
ument approved changes against an approved ICD.
