MIL-STD-1316E
4.4 Design for quality control, inspection, and maintenance.
a. Fuzes shall be designed and documented to facilitate application of effective quality control and inspection procedures. Design characteristics critical to fuze safety shall be identified to assure that the designed safety is maintained.
b. The design of the fuze shall facilitate the use of inspection and test equipment for monitoring all characteristics which assure the safety and intended functioning of the fuze at all appropriate stages. The fuze design should facilitate the use of automatic inspection equipment.
c. Embedded computing systems and their associated software (firmware) shall be designed and documented for ease of future maintenance. Software development shall be in accordance with accepted high quality software development procedures, such as MIL- STD-498.
4.5 Design approval. At the inception of engineering development, the developing activity should obtain approval from the cognizant safety authority of both the design concept and the methodology for assuring compliance with safety requirements. At the completion of engineering development, the developing activity shall present a safety assessment to the cognizant safety authority (see 4.9) for review to obtain approval of the design.
4.6 Design features.
4.6.1 Stored energy. Stored energy shall not be employed for enabling or arming when environmentally derived energy, after initiation of the launch cycle, can be practically obtained. Examples of stored energy components are:
a. Batteries
b. Charged capacitors
c. Compressed gas devices d. Explosive actuators
e. Loaded springs
4.6.2 Compatibility of fuze elements. All fuze materials shall be chosen to be compatible and stable so that under all life-cycle conditions none of the following shall occur in an unarmed fuze:
a. Premature arming.
b. Dangerous ejection of material.
c. Deflagration or detonation of the lead or booster.
d. An increase in the sensitivity of explosive train components beyond the level
appropriate for service use.
e. Compromise of safety or sterilization features.
