MIL-PRF-38535K
APPENDIX J
TECHNOLOGY CONFORMANCE INSPECTION AND SCREENING INFORMATION
J.1 SCOPE
J.1.1 Scope. The qualified manufacturer listing (QML) program measures and evaluates the manufacturers'
manufacturing process against a baseline for that process. This baseline can include innovative and improved
processes that result in an equivalent or higher quality product, provided that the process used to evaluate and
document these changes has been reviewed and approved. Changes to the process baseline can be made by the
manufacturer's Technology Review Board (TRB) after achieving QML status with documented reliability and quality
data. The approach outlined in this appendix is a proven baseline which contains details of the screening and
technology conformance inspection (TCI) procedures. This appendix is a mandatory part of the specification. The
information contained herein is intended for compliance. However, for QML microcircuits the manufacturers may
offer approved alternatives that demonstrate a process control system that achieves at least the same level of quality
and reliability as could be achieved by this appendix.
J.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
J.2.1 General. The documents listed in this section are specified in section J.3 of this appendix. This section does
not include documents cited in other sections of this appendix or recommended for additional information or as
