MIL-STD-1580B (W/ CHANGE-3), DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TEST METHOD STANDARD: DESTRUCTIVE PHYSICAL ANALYSIS (DPA) FOR ELECTRONIC, ELECTROMAGNETIC, AND ELECTROMECHANICAL (EEE) PARTS (04-MAR-2014)., This standard describes the general requirements for performance of destructive physical analysis (DPA) on samples of parts. In addition to the requirements for the analysis procedures, the general criteria for interpreting results, such as for the acceptance or rejection of associated production lots, is included for typical electronic, electromagnetic, and electromechanical parts. This standard; is intended to be referenced, in detailed part specifications; or in other documents where DPA requirements are imposed, to assure that the practices, procedures, and criteria contained herein are uniformly applied.
