Suppliers and users of conformal coatings, I've recently had a request for the Mil-I-46058 Group A test results (Group A tests includes Cure Time & Temperature, Appearance, and Thickness) to be added to a coatings C of A. I have a concern that adding this information will cause some confusion among those not familiar with the Mil-Spec, such as that the Thickness result will somehow be interpreted to be a type of qualitative property of the coating. The coating is tested to 46058 and is on the QPL. I have been in the coating industry for 20+ years and in direct support of our coatings for the last 10 years. This is the first request that we've had for this information. Therefore, I am trying to understand if this is a unique request or if others in the military community are thinking of also adding these results as a Cert requirement. Suppliers/manufacturers - have you received similar requests for reporting the Group A results? Users - do you have internal requirements to obtain Group A results? Or, do you have future plans for requesting this data? Are you aware of any new requirements that would drive this request? It seems odd to me to receive a request for this information now, almost 15 years after the Mil-Spec was declared inactive for new product design. Thanks in advance for your input and comments.
