About this file
This Engineering Change Request proposes updates to the instruction booklet requirements of Military Specification MIL-PRF-32432A for Military Combat Eye Protection systems. It seeks to add alternative compliance by allowing a QR code directing to an electronic copy of instructions, in lieu of a physical booklet, due to increased costs and lead times from print material suppliers. The proposal would modify paragraphs 3.5.1.8 and 4.5.3 of MIL-PRF-32432A to include the QR code option while specifying placement, functionality, and compliance requirements to be verified. If approved, the change would apply to MIL-PRF-32432A until Revision B is released. The related pre-solicitation provides opportunity details for the Authorized Protective Eyewear List under Solicitation Number W15P7T from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

Currently requirement is to provide a physical instruction booklet as part of the MCEP system configuration. An alternative to this requirement will allow for a QR code to be provided to direct user to an electronic instruction booklet maintained by the vendor.
Vendors have reported increased lead times from their print material suppliers, as well as lead times in paper procurement.

MIL-PRF-32432A Instruction Booklet Requirement
In accordance with Paragraph 3.5.1.8 of MIL-PRF-32432A, an instruction booklet shall be provided, which, at a minimum, includes a description and use of the MCEP system to include lens installation and removal, configurations, maintenance and cleaning procedures. The instruction booklet shall be small enough to fit in the MCEP system carrying case with the components as specified in
3.5.1.7 yet the print shall be large enough to be read by the individual.
Due to supply chain issues, print material has seen increased prices and lead times. As an effort of modernization and to alleviate these lead time issues, PM SPE has changed Paragraph 3.5.1.8 to read " A physical instruction booklet or QR code directing to an electronic copy of the instruction booklet shall be provided..." Additionally it will add "The QR code may be adhered to the inside of the case, or on a physical insert small enough to fit in the MCEP system carrying case yet large enough to be usable and durable as not to easily fade and detach."
As a verification of a working QR code, Paragraph 4.5.3 will also be updated to visually examine the instruction booklet and determine compliance with the requirements of 3.5.1.8, as applicable. "Using an electronic handheld mobile device, scan the instruction booklet QR code and determine link functionality, product accuracy, and compliance with requirements of 3.5.1.8, as applicable.
Nonconformance with 3.5.1.8 shall constitute failure of this verification."
PM SPE approves this change to MIL-PPRF 32432 Rev A until the requirement can be updated in MIL-PRF-32432 Rev B to be released.
Please note that this RFD is required to be reviewed by the PM SSV Quality Assurance Chief per verbal policy directive on 22 Feb 2022 clarifying email policy directive on 17 Feb 2022. An SoA is submitted with this RFD to provide a record of compliance with the above.
