MIL-STD-1316E

f.    Production of unacceptable levels of toxic or other hazardous materials.

4.6.3  Manually enabled safety features.  When manually operable safety features critical to fuzing system safety are used, their design shall minimize inadvertent or unintended operation.

4.6.4  Electrical firing energy dissipation.  For electrically initiated fuze explosive trains, the fuze design shall include a provision to dissipate the firing energy within 30 minutes of the expiration of the fuze arming life, or a fuze failure.  The dissipation means shall be designed to prevent commonmode failures.

4.6.5  Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD).  Features shall be incorporated in fuzes that facilitate their being rendered safe by EOD tools, equipment and procedures even if sterilization or self-destruction features are incorporated.

4.6.5.1  EOD reviewing authority.  All new or altered designs, or new applications of existing designs shall be presented to the appropriate service's EOD research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) authority for technical advice and assistance in determining viable design approaches or trade-offs for EOD as follows:

4.6.6  Non-armed condition assurance.  Fuzing system designs shall incorporate one or more of the following:

a.    A feature that prevents assembly of the fuzing system in an armed condition.
