OBSOLESCENCE NOTICE

All DTD specifications were declared obsolescent from 1 st April 1999. All DTD 900
series approvals also lapsed at that time. The standards will no longer be updated but
will be retained as obsolescent documents to provide for the servicing of existing
equipment.

Further Guidance

The aim in declaring the specifications obsolescent is to recognise that the

documents are not being updated and thus should be used with care by both
purchaser and supplier. For example, a specification could contain valid technical
information but may also contain type approval clauses that contradict procurement
policy and/or use materials that do not comply with environmental legislation. The
obsolescent specification can still be used as a basis for a purchase provided that the
supplier and purchaser agree suitable changes to the specification within the
purchase order/contract.
For the DTD 900 system, each specification has provided an MoD approved
material and process. For these items, the declaration of obsolescence will constitute
the termination of both the extant MoD approval and the continuing MoD assessment
that had underpinned those approvals. Again, the technical content of the document
remains valid and can be used by both purchaser and supplier as a basis for a
contract but an acceptable (to the parties) approval/assessment procedure would be
required.

Aerospace Materials Specification
APPROVAL PROCEDURE FOR PROPRIETARY MATERIALS
AND PROCESSES

1. Scope
This specification describes the procedure governing the approval of proprietary materials and processes. It also
includes Appendices listing all materials and processes approved under its terms together with the name and address of
the manufacturer or proprietor, the trade name of the material or process, if any, and the approval serial number.
The terms “proprietary material’’ and “proprietary process” for the purpose of this specification are applicable to
materials or processes not covered by a BS aerospace, DTD or other specification approved by the procurement
Executive, Ministry of Defence.
As approval under this specification covers proprietary materials and processes, details of which may be divulged in
confidence to the Design Authority and/or Procurement Executive, Ministry of Defence, no specifications for the
individual items are available and enquiries should be addressed to the manufacturer or proprietor concerned.

2. Procedure to be followed in seeking approval

(i) Action to be taken by the Design Authority
In order to obtain approval of a proprietary material or proprietary process for use in the construction, operation or
repair of aerospace equipment, the Design Authority shall, with the agreement of the manufacturer or proprietor, apply
to the Head of Materials and Structures Department, Royal Aerospace Establishment (RAE), Farnborough, Hants, GU14
6TD giving the following information:
(a) The name of the material or process;
(b) Evidence of the need of the material in Grade A or other critical parts;
(c) Evidence for the need for the use of the process, with details of any effects which cannot be readily assessed
by inspection either after processing or after delivery (eg effects on fatigue life);
(d) Details of tests that demonstrate the properties and utility of the material or process.
(ii) Action to be taken by the manufacturer or proprietor
If an Agreed Firm’s Schedule (AFS) for the material or process is being prepared or already exists, Head of Materials
and Structures Department, RAE shall be informed. Otherwise full details of a scheme for the routine inspectional control
of the material or process shall be submitted to the Head of Materials and Structures Department, RAE. These shall
include (i) formulation and tests necessary to ensure that subsequent supplies or results will be of the same standard of
quality as that for which approval is sought and (ii) a recommended system of control to be operated by an approved
inspection organisation. Information regarding formulation and processing will be treated as confidential.

3. Approval
(i) Approval is contingent upon:
(a) Satisfactory results having been obtained by the Design Authority (see Clause 2.(i) (d));
(b) The acceptance by Head of Materials and Structures, RAE, Farnborough, of the proposed schedule for routine
inspectional control (see Clause 2.(ii));
(c) The approval of an appropriate inspection organisation of the quality assurance system of the manufacturer of
the proprietary material or process.
(d) The restriction or use of the material or process to those applications defined under ‘Extent of Approval’ in
Appendices I, II or III of this specification.
It should also be noted that an Agreed Firms Schedule (AFS) alone is not a substitute for DTD 900 approval Materials
and processes covered only by an AFS must not be used for Grade A parts, nor in circumstances where prior approval
is required by the provisions of Defence Standard 00-970 or other Design Document.
(ii) The letter of approval will specify:
(a) The extent of the approval;
(b) An approval serial number, eg DTD 900/1234. This approval serial number must be quoted on all relevant
drawings, contracts, release notes, instructions for use and other documents wherein the material or process
is specified;
(c) The number of the relevant AFS.
(iii) Formal approval will be followed by the inclusion of the relevant details in Appendices I, II or III of this
specification.
(iv) Initial approval will be valid for five years and will be renewed subject to the design Authority supplying proof
of a continued requirement three months prior to the end of the approval period.
(v) The prior agreement of the Head of Materials and Structures, RAE, Farnborough must be obtained before an
approval may be transferred to another firm.
4. Inspection
(i) Each cast, batch or lot as defined in the Test Schedule of a Material for use in a Grade A or other critical part
is to be inspected to the requirements of the Test Schedule.
(ii) All materials and parts treated by a process approved under this specification shall be inspected to the
requirements of the appropriate Test Schedule.
(iii) Each batch or lot as defined in the Test Schedule of material for use in the make-up of a processing medium is
to be subject to inspection to the Test Schedule.
(iv) The Director of Aeronautical Quality Assurance Directorate may at any time call for check tests on samples
representing supplies delivered under the requirements of Clauses 4(i), 4(ii) or 4(iii).

5. Changes in terms of approval

No change in formulation or in the inspection schedule shall be made without prior agreement of the Head of Materials
and Structures, RAE, Farnborough, who will decide whether the significance of the change warrants the addition of a
suffix to the approval number or the allocation of a new number.
Approved for Issue,

Dr. G. Pocock
Head of Materials and Structures
RAE, Farnborough
