a) In place of the Installation Facility Standards (IFS) identified as Air Force (AFCEC) criteria, use the most recent version of the KDG.

b) Beyond providing design guidance concerning esthetic design elements, such as that found in the IFS Standards, the KDG assists designers by providing default and/or preferred selections when several suitable technical design options exist. This serves to optimize long-term facility support by the installation by using equipment types that installation personnel are certified and equipped to maintain. This also ensures maximum compatibility with test equipment and interchangeability of components by limiting the types/sizes of equipment busses, interconnects, and interfaces to those designated in the KDG.

c) Unless guidance in the SOW or project drawings specifically direct otherwise, the DOR shall ensure that final designs are consistent with KDG preferences.

d) Notify the 718 CES project designer in advance if selecting options that differ from the KDG preference.
