Specifier's Checklist

DOE-SPEC-3021-97

SPECIFIER'S CHECKLIST

This section contains a checklist for the specifier to use in organizing technical material prior to

using the "fill-in-the-blanks" guide specification. It is recommended that the checklist be

prepared before tackling the specification, but the guide specification is fully self-contained and

may be used without the checklist if the specifier so desires.

This checklist is the list of paragraphs in the guide specification that require input from the

specifier. The list may therefore be used to ensure that all the necessary input has been

addressed and entered into the specification. The list may also be used as a study guide when

consulting supplemental references.
