NATO Supply Class 5975 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components.
NATO Supply Class 5975 specifically focuses on Electrical Hardware and Supplies. This class includes a wide range of items such as electrical connectors, terminals, switches, circuit breakers, fuses, relays, cables, wires, and other related electrical components and accessories.
The purpose of this classification is to provide a standardized system for categorizing and organizing electrical hardware and supplies used in military and defense applications. By using this classification system, NATO member countries can easily identify, procure, and maintain the necessary electrical components for their equipment and systems.
It is important to note that the NATO Supply Classification (NSC) system is used primarily by NATO member countries for logistical and supply chain management purposes. It helps ensure interoperability and compatibility among different military forces by providing a common language for identifying and categorizing various items.
If you are working on a document related to electrical hardware and supplies in the context of NATO Supply Class 5975, you may want to include specific details about the types of components and their applications within military and defense systems. Additionally, you can mention the importance of adhering to the NATO Supply Classification system for efficient procurement and maintenance processes.
Includes Conduit; Raceways; Face Plates; Condulets; Outlet and Junction Boxes; Pole Line Hardware, not elsewhere classifiable.
Note-Mounting hardware, included in classes of this group, includes such specially designed items as brackets, holders, retainers, etc. Excluded from classes in this group are such hardware items as screws (Class 5305), bolts (Class 5306), studs (Class 5307), washers (Class 5310), rivets (Class 5320), and other common items indexed to specific classes, other than in Group 59. The FSC indexes and structure will govern the classification of items used on or with mounting hardware cited above.
