MIL-PRF-38535K
APPENDIX H
H.3.5 Standard microcircuit drawings (SMDs) . SMD depicts the Government's requirements for an existing commercial
item, tested for a military application, disclosing applicable configuration, envelope dimensions, mounting and mating
dimensions, interface dimensional characteristics, specified performance requirements, and inspection and acceptance test
requirements as appropriate for a military environment. The general steps of SMD preparation by the preparing activity (PA)
are as follows:
a. Draft Development
b. User Coordination
c. SMD Release
H.3.6 Listing of microcircuits on the Qualified Manufacturer’s List (QML) . To be listed on the QML for this specification,
the manufacturer shall demonstrate compliance to the QML certification requirements (see 3.4.1), demonstrate compliance to
the QML qualification requirements (see 3.4.2), and work with the PA, the DLA Land and Maritime, to develop a SMD
describing the candidate QML device(s) (see 3.5).
Upon approval of the final draft of the SMD, the manufacturer shall submit a completed certificate of compliance (C of C)
to DLA Land and Maritime. Acceptance of the C of C by the qualifying activity results in the device being listed on the QML
and provides authority for the manufacturer to ship the QML devices in accordance with the SMD.
Manufacturers are officially QML qualified to a given SMD when the SMD is dated and the C of C and qualification report is
approved by the QA. Manufacturers are able to ship SMD devices upon being QML qualified to the given SMD. Manufacturers
will receive notification of approval from the QA.
