4.2.2 XSP20168702, XPS20168703, etc

The documents state that both Major and Minor characteristics are verified using the VL‐1V per Table II. All other contracts we perform to require a VL‐1V for Major Characteristics and VL‐II for Minor Classified features. Is this a typo or oversight or is this the customer’s intent to inspect both classifications at the higher Verification Level?

Minor characteristics in both documents are now changed to a VL‐II per MIL‐STD‐1916. A new TDP will be provided to those that requested the TDP.
