SD-10, DEFENSE STANDARDIZATION PROGRAM: GUIDE FOR IDENTIFICATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF METRIC STANDARDS (DEC-2003)

SD-10, DEFENSE STANDARDIZATION PROGRAM: GUIDE FOR IDENTIFICATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF METRIC STANDARDS (DEC-2003)., This guide is intended to help organizations in the Department of Defense (DoD) determine when it is necessary to develop metric specifications and standards, and the best way to express metric units of measurement in those documents. The availability of metric documents is a prerequisite to the development of metric-based weapon systems and equipment. This document will help DoD program offices, standardization management activities, engineering offices, contractors, and others meet the requirements of Section 5164, Metric Usage, of the Public Law 100-418, the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988.
