also benefits future testing, malfunction investigations, and maintenance functions (see
4.8).
3.2.5 Calibration lot. A calibration lot serves as the current standard against which other lots may be evaluated.
3.2.6 Complete round. An assembly consisting of all component parts required to perform a specific function at the time and under the conditions desired. A complete round may consist of one or more types of components. Types of components include explosive, energetic, propellant, pyrotechnic, and non-energetic components. The term is also used interchangeably with "complete assembled rounds" and "round of
ammunition." It should not be used interchangeably with "item of issue." All "items of issue" are not necessarily "complete rounds." Some examples of "complete rounds of ammunition" are:
a. bomb - consisting of all component parts required to function the bomb once. b. fixed or semi-fixed - consisting of a primer, propelling charge, cartridge case,
a projectile and a fuze except when solid projectiles are used.
c. missile - consisting of complete warhead section and a missile body with its associated components and propellants.
d. separate loading - consisting of a primer, propelling charge and except for blank ammunition, a projectile and a fuze.
3.2.7 Component lot number. A component lot number follows the same format as an ammunition lot number as described in 3.2.4. Not all components are energetic or are themselves ammunition, but they may still be required to have an ammunition lot number assigned.
3.2.8 Configuration management change. A configuration management change is a permanent or temporary change proposed to the configuration of an item. Permanent changes are proposed in the form of an engineering change proposal (ECP). Temporary changes to, or exceptions from, the technical data package requirements are requested in the form of a request for variance (RFV), request for deviation (RFD), or a request for waiver (RFW). Which temporary configuration management change to be used will depend upon the requirements of the procuring activity.
3.2.9 Energetic material. For the purposes of this standard, energetic material is considered material which undergoes a chemical reaction as part of the functioning of the ammunition. Energetic materials consist of chemical compounds or mixtures of chemical compounds that are divided into three classes according to use: explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics.
