Selected CM military standards

The U.S. Department of Defense expended a huge effort in establishing the product configuration management discipline and supporting standards. The foundation of product lifecycle management can be traced to many of these historical standards.

You may find these documents useful for designing your own PLM system. However, you should keep in mind that many of these were authored decades ago, and include concepts that may be irrelevant in a modern computer-based PLM system.

We have also included a selection of design-related standards for assisting in your product development.

File downloads on this page are provided as a convenient starting point. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you conform to contractual requirements affecting your organization. Many of these are obsolete and have been out of print for many years. In some cases they have been obtained from archival sources other than the issuing body; no guarantee can be given that these represent the actual documents as originally issued. You will need Adobe Reader to view most of these documents.
