Serving our customers with quality and safety first.
blade, animal grooming
the blade shall be fabricated of stainless steel. the handles may be fabricated of metal or organic material. any metal used shall be treated to resist corrosion. any organic material used shall be NON-Absorbent and washable in hot, soapy water. the materials shall not be biodegradable and shall not be damaged by storage at high and low temperatures.
the shedding blade shall be designed and fabricated to facilitate removal of loose hairs from the surface of a dog's coat. the shedding blade shall consist of a flexable metal strip with a blunt serrated edges along the length of both sides, and a handle at each end. the serrations on opposite sides of the blede shall be of different sizes, for the use on coarse and fine hair (e.g. 12 teath per inch for fine hair and 8 teeth per inch for coarse hair) . the handles shall be provided with a means to lock together so that the blade may be formed into a loop for use with one hand, as well as separated for use of the blade with two hands. the exposed length of the blade between the handles shall be at least 10in., and the handles shall each be at least 4in. long.
A brush primarily designed for grooming the coat of various domestic animals, such as dogs, horses and mules.
Indicates there is no data in the hmirs and the nsn is in a fsc not generally suspected of containing hazardous materials.
Item does not contain precious metal.
No known electrostatic discharge (esd) or electromagnetic interference (emi) sensitivity.
Represents items with no adp components
The item does not have a nuclear hardened feature or any other critical feature such as tolerance, fit restriction or application.
HMIC: Hazardous Material Indicator Code. A one position code that identifies a hazardous item.
PMIC: Precious Metal Indicator Code. A one position code which identifies items that have precious metals as part of their content. precious metals are those metals generally considered to be uncommon, highly valuable, and relatively superior in certain properties such as resistance to corrosion and electrical conductivity.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge. Indicates if an item is susceptible to electrostatic discharge or electromagnetic interference damage. electrostatic discharge damage occurs when an accumulation of static electricity generated by the relative motion or separation of materials is released to another item by direct contact. electromagnetic interference damage occurs when an item comes into proximity with an electrostatic or magnetic field.
ENAC: Enviromental Attribute Code. Identifies items with environmentally preferred characteristics.
CRITL: Criticality Indicator Code. Indicates an item is technically critical by tolerance, fit, application, nuclear hardness properties, or other characteristics.
Defense logistics agency, enterprise business systems
SOS: Source of Supply. A three position code or routing identifier code (ric), which identifies the source of supply activity.
SMIC: Special Material Indicator Code. A two position code, which categorizes material on the basis of requirements for source or quality control, technical design or configuration control, procurement, stocking and issue control, special receipt, inspection, testing, storage, or handling.
MMAC: Material Management Aggregation Code. A two position code that identifies an item of supply to be managed by a specific activity manager.
MCC: Material Echelon Code. A two position code employed by the marine corps in classifying items into categories by materiel category and procurement echelon. the alphanumeric management code is in the first position and identifies the materiel category
IMC: Denotes wether items shall be subjected to integrated management under the defense supply agency or retained by the individual military service or other department of defense components for their management. Assigned by th activity responsible for item management coding.
