<strong>NASA</strong>-STD-8739.4 with Change 6(6) Traceability on the tool to the container if the container contains the calibration label.f. Power tools used during the cabling process shall comply to the tool requirements herein <strong>and</strong>have a three-wire grounded power cord or be double insulated (Requirement). The area makingcontact with the workpiece shall be grounded (Requirement). When measured from theworkpiece contact point to ground, the resistance shall not exceed 2.0 ohms <strong>and</strong> the potentialdifference shall not exceed 2 millivolts Root Mean Square (RMS) using methods indicated in thesupplier's engineering documentation (Requirement).6.3.3 The supplier's process documentation for tool control is subject to review <strong>and</strong> approval bythe procuring <strong>NASA</strong> Center. Suppliers may elect to use tools not mentioned in this St<strong>and</strong>ardprovided the engineering documentation is reviewed <strong>and</strong> approved by the procuring <strong>NASA</strong>Center prior to use.6.4 Electrostatic Discharge RequirementsThe supplier shall implement an electrostatic discharge (ESD) Control Program for any activitythat tests, inspects, services, manufacturers, installs, packages, labels or otherwise processes ESDsensitive parts or assemblies (Requirement). ESD requirements shall be in accordance withANSI/ESD S20.20 (Requirement). All personnel who h<strong>and</strong>le static-sensitive parts <strong>and</strong>assemblies shall have been trained in the proper procedures <strong>and</strong> in the use of appropriateprotective equipment to prevent ESD damage (Requirement).6.5 In-Process Storage <strong>and</strong> H<strong>and</strong>lingEach supplier performing cabling <strong>and</strong> harnessing operations shall develop <strong>and</strong> implementrequirements <strong>and</strong> procedures that control conditions to prevent damage to <strong>and</strong> degradation ofparts <strong>and</strong> deliverable terminating areas, terminals, connectors, wire ends, or part leads duringh<strong>and</strong>ling <strong>and</strong> storage (Requirement). Containers shall be compatible with materials storedtherein (Requirement).6.6 Wire Processing <strong>and</strong> Preparation ToolsThe supplier shall select <strong>and</strong> use the following conductor preparation tools:6.6.1 Strippers. Either precision mechanical tools or thermal strippers shall be selected forinsulation stripping (Requirement). Thermal strippers shall have variable temperature control(Requirement). The tools shall not nick, ring, gouge, or stretch conductors or remove plating sothat the base metal shows (Requirement). Superficial scraping of conductors is acceptableproviding conductor base material is not exposed.6.6.2 Wire Cutters. Wire cutting tools that shear the conductor shall be selected in preference todiagonal cutters that cut the conductor by bringing two blade edges together (Requirement). Thecutting edges of wire trimming tools shall be maintained sharp <strong>and</strong> free from nicks <strong>and</strong>indentations (Requirement).6.6.3 Torque Tools. Torque tools shall be calibrated <strong>and</strong> shall utilize drive sockets <strong>and</strong>attachments appropriate for the hardware being torqued (Requirement).Page 31 of 114
