Description & Purpose
3.1 The Engineering Documentation Information contains four distinct types of records. They are the Document Description Record (DDR), the Part Description Record (PDR), the Structure Record (STR) and the Manufacturer's Description Record (MDR).
3.2 The Engineering Documentation Information is used to build an engineering data base.
Application & Interrelationship
7.1 This data item description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement for these data included in the contract.
7.2 This DID is applicable to the acquisition of systems and equipments.
7.3 This DID supersedes DI-E-5331D.
Preparation Instructions
1Reference documents.The applicable issue of the documents cited herein, including their approval dates and dates of any applicable amendments, notices, and revisions, shall be as specified in the contract.
2.1One DDR shall be prepared for each drawing, (assembly, subassembly, or part), standard, or other documents used in the fabrication or maintenance of the equipment.
2.2One PDR shall be prepared for each assembly or part.PDR shall not be prepared for reference documents.
2.3One STR shall be prepared for each application of each item used in the fabrication, operation, or maintenance of the equipment.
2.4At least one MDR shall be prepared for any part or assembly that is an Altered Item (TYPDWG=A in the DDR), Selected Item (TYPDWG=V in the DDR), Source Control (TYPDWG=S in the DDR), or a Specification Control Item (TYPDWG=C in the DDR).Additionally, an MDR shall be prepared for any part or assembly that is a Design Control Repair Part (TYPDWG=D in the DDR) that has a suggested source of supply.

3.1.11TYPDWG - Type of drawing.TYPDWG is a one letter code describing Control drawings. The codes are:
A - Altered Item
V - Selected Item
S - Source Control
C - Specification Control

3.2.3MNTNON - Maintenance/non-maintenance.MNTNON is a one letter code, M or N.
M - Maintenance Part - A maintenance part is defined as any part or assembly which needs no further fabrication of finishing prior to replacing the part. Maintenance parts include all assemblies, all electrical components, all name, warning, and instruction plates, finished brackets, and fasteners. (NOTE: An exception to these rules is wire. Wire which must meet special requirements and or specifications will always be coded as a Maintenance Part, MNTNON=M.)
N - Non-Maintenance Part - A Non-Maintenance Part is defined as any part which must be further finished prior to replacement such as unfinished brackets which must be welded or drilled, bare printed wiring boards, or bulk material such as solder.
3.2.4PRTNUM - Part number.The PRTNUM is the unique number used to identify the part. In the event that specifications do not provide guidelines for assigning the part number, contact the contracting officer.
3.2.5SECPRT - Security classification of part.SECPRT is a one letter code applicable only to NSA assemblies and parts, (i.e. 0N DOCNUM) representing the security classification of the part. (T, S, C, or U).
3.3Structure record.The record shall contain any of the following data that applies to the part of reference document.
3.3.1DOCUSE - Document use code.DOCUSE is a two letter code which indicates whether the STR is for an assembly, subassembly, piece part, or a reference document. The Document Use Codes that will be used are in Table I.
3.3.2DOCNUM.(see 10.3.1.1)
3.3.3NXTASY - Next (higher) assembly.For a part or assembly, the NXTASY is the part number (PRTNUM) of the next higher assembly. For any reference document, the NXTASY is the document number (DOCNUM) of the drawing that references the reference document. For top assemblies, the NXTASY is the part number prefixed by the two letter code 'DL'. (see 10.5)
3.3.4UNITSS - Units.UNITSS is a two letter code, applicable only to parts (piece parts and assemblies), representing the units of measurement for the part.
EA - EACH
FT - FEET
IN - INCHES
LB - POUNDS
CM - CENTIMETERS
MR - METERS
KG - KILOGRAMS
AR - AS REQUIRED
3.3.5QTASY - Quantity in (next) assembly.QTASY is a one to four digit number, applicable only to parts, representing the number of units of the part used in the next higher assembly.
3.3.6PRTNUM - Part number.(see 10.3.2.4) (NOTE: Structure Records for Reference Documents do not have a PRTNUM.)
3.3.7FNDNUM - Find number.FNDNUM is the find number of the part as it appears on the drawing of the next higher assembly.
3.3.8REFDES - Reference designators.The REFDES are the reference designators for the part or assembly as they appear on the drawing of the next higher assembly. (NOTE: One unique reference designator shall exist for each occurrence of the part or assembly on the next higher assembly (e.g. If a resistor is used ten times in an assembly (i.e. QTASY=10) then there will be ten Reference Designators, (R1, R2, --, R10)).)
3.4Manufacturer's description record.The record shall contain the following data:
3.4.1PRTNUM - Part number.(see 10.3.2.4).

3.4.3MFRPRT - Manufacturer's part number.The MFRPRT is the unique number used by the manufacturer to identify the part.
4.1The data required shall be on one magnetic tape that conforms with Federal Specification W-T-0051 requirements.The tape shall be on a 9-track tape drive at a density of 1600 BPI. EBCDIC character code with odd parity shall be used. Each logical record shall be 258 characters long with 20 logical records per physical record, (i.e. 5160 characters per physical record).
