Integrated all the Polymeric Applications in one standard. Identify all unique requirement in the standard. All Design Rules were moved to one section NASA STD 8739.1NASA STD 8739.1A 2

3. Mission Success Starts With Safety 5/3/20153 Change & Rationale Conflicting / Repeated requirements Separate Requirements are called out in same paragraph Non verifiable requirements Consolidated Common Requirements to all Polymeric Applications Separate paragraph for each unique requirement Deleted non-enforceable requirements NASA STD 8739.1NASA STD 8739.1A 3

4. Mission Success Starts With Safety 5/3/2015 4 Change & Rationale Requirements embedded in Tables, Notes and Figures Incorrect or outdated references and acronyms Some drawings and images were not instructive. All requirements are spelled out in the body of the standard with Tables, notes and figures used to clarify the requirement Updated all references and acronyms used within the standard Updated photographs and graphics (most require digital viewing) NASA STD 8739.1 NASA STD 8739.1A 4

13. Mission Success Starts With Safety Changes to Test Specimen Requirements NASA STD 8739.1 (August 6 th, 1999) – Control Specimen refers to the Test Specimen (Witness Sample) prepared when the material is received. – Witness Sample is the Test Specimen prepared at the same time as the final work is done. – Test Coupon is the Test Specimen prepared to test for Hardness measurements. It is also a record for proper curing of bonding and encapsulation materials. NASA STD 8739.1A (March 3 rd, 2008) – 8.5 Test Specimen created at the same time and with same processes as batch used on flight hardware. Hardness tested (except conformal coating materials).
