About this file
This is a Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) document issued by the U.S. Air Force 406th Supply Chain Management Squadron at Hill Air Force Base. The document specifies packaging requirements for an Initiator, Cartridge Actuated component (National Stock Number 1377-01-590-0158 ES) and applies to both serviceable and unserviceable methods as defined in MIL-STD-2073-1.
The packaging employs a two-level system: Level A provides maximum protection for severe worldwide shipment, handling, and storage conditions such as war reserve material, mobilization, strategic deployment, and open storage; Level B offers standard protection and must be overboxed in a Level A container when Level A protection is required. Packing procedures mandate individual wrapping of each asset with tape per ASTM D5486, placement in barrier bags with air expelled and sealed, and consolidation of up to 20 sealed items per shipping container with cushioning material. The document specifies container dimensions (10" x 10" x 16" for Level A; 10 3/8" x 10 3/8" x 16 3/4" for Level B), gross weight of 1,043 cubic feet and 16 pounds, and design fragility rating of 60. All wooden packaging materials must comply with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM No. 15) requirements, including debarked wood construction and heat treatment certification. The document includes palletization procedures showing a 48" x 41 5/8" x 3/8" plywood base with 4-way entry pallet configuration and total palletized load weight of 723.35 pounds, with strapping and edge protector specifications. Marking must follow MIL-STD-129, and reusable containers and dunnage must not be destroyed.

ALL WOODEN LUMBER, WOODEN PALLETS, AND WOODEN CONTAINERS PRODUCED ENTIRELY OR IN PART OF WOOD PACKAGING MATERIAL (WPM) SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED FROM DEBARKED WOOD IN ADDITION TO THE APPLICATION OF HEAT-TREATED (HT) MATERIAL (HT TO 56 DEGREES CENTIGRADE OR 133 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT FOR 30 MINUTES).
CERTIFICATION/MARKING IS REQUIRED BY AN ACCREDITED AGENCY RECOGNIZED BY THE AMERICAN LUMBER STANDARDS COMMITTEE (ALSC). FOR REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION, SEE LATEST REVISION OF "INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES (ISPM NO. 15), "REGULATION OF WOOD PACKAGING MATERIAL IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE."
