6. DEMILITARIZATION CODES:

DEMIL codes are assigned to DOD personal property that indicate the required degree of 

physical destruction, identifies items requiring specialized handling or processing, and identifies 

items which may not require DEMIL but may require Trade Security Controls. DEMIL F and 

other codes can require additional guidelines to be followed prior to turn-in to DLA Disposition 

Services. For DEMIL required property, if an LSN is used, a Clear Text Statement must be 

completed and accompany the DD Form 1348-1A.

For assistance see DOD DEMIL Help Page: DEMIL Home (dla.mil)

The DEMIL Codes are listed from the highest level of control to the lowest level of control in

8. SUPPLY CONDITION CODES: 

Property must be assigned a supply condition code that accurately describes the current 

condition of the property. Providing the most accurate information on the DTID is imperative 

for correctly handling property. If property is misidentified, there may be lost opportunities for 

reutilization, transfer, or donation back to the Services, DOD programs, State and Local

governments, and Special Programs. It can even impact billing to the services if the property 

moves through the sales process or requires a service contract for disposal.

A – Serviceable; issuable without qualification

Condition: New, used, repaired, or reconditioned material which is serviceable and 

issuable to all customers without limitation or restrictions. Includes material with more 

than 6 months shelf life remaining.

B – Serviceable; issuable with qualification

Condition: New, used, repaired, or reconditioned material, which is serviceable and 

issuable for its intended purpose, but which is restricted from issue to specific units, 

activities, or geographical areas by reason of its limited usefulness or short service life 

expectancy. Includes material with 3 through 6 months shelf life.

C – Serviceable; priority issue

Condition: Items which are serviceable and issuable to selected customers, but which 

must be issued before Condition A and B material to avoid loss as a usable asset. 

Includes material with less than 3 months shelf life remaining.

D – Serviceable; test modification

Condition: Serviceable material which requires test, alteration, modification, 

conversion, or disassembly. This does not include items which must be inspected or 

tested immediately prior to issue.

E – Unserviceable; limited restoration

Condition: Material which involves only limited expense or effort to restore to 

serviceable condition and which is accomplished in the storage activity where the stock 

is located.

F – Unserviceable; reparable

Condition: Economically reparable material which requires repair, overhaul, or 

reconditioning. Includes reparable items which are radioactivity contaminated.

G – Unserviceable; incomplete

Condition: Material requiring additional parts or components to complete the end item 

prior to issue.

H – Unserviceable; condemned

Condition: Material which has been determined to be unserviceable and does not meet 

repair criteria; includes condemned items which are radioactivity contaminated, Type I 

shelf-life material that has passed the expiration date, and Type II shelf-life material that 

has passed the expiration date and cannot be extended. Condition Code H property 

may still have reutilization potential through the DLA Disposition Services RTDS

(Reutilization/Transfer/Donation/Sales) screening process.
Published August 2022

14

Q – Suspended (Product Quality Deficiency)

Condition: Material that has a potential and confirmed product quality deficiency which 

is prohibited for use within the DOD and prohibited from reutilization, transfer, 

donation, and sales. DLA Disposition Services downgrades these items and require 

mutilation to scrap. To turn in items assigned the condition code of Q the DD Form

1348-1A must contain the statement “Confirmed Defective Material – Mutilate”.

**Note – It is imperative that customers understand the importance of turning in 

property with the correct condition code. This will determine how items are disposed of 

and will ensure property unsafe to sell is not recirculated into the market. We must 

ensure we are fiscally responsible and utilizing the correct condition code ensures we 

dispose of property safely and economically. **

9. PROPERTY TURN-IN (NON-HAZARDOUS): 

Acceptable Property:

DLA Disposition Services is responsible for disposal of all DoD-generated excess, surplus, foreign 

excess, and other personal property authorized for turn-in. DLA Disposition Services will 

accept accountability, however NOT physical custody of the following, per DOD 4160.21-M:

• Live Animals

• Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard (MPPEH, formerly AEDA) residue 

(includes incendiary products) 

• Drugs, biological and controlled substances

• Nitrate base film

• Used psychological diagnostic test sets

• Compressed gas cylinders (unless rendered to scrap)

• Fire suppression systems (FSS) 

NOTE: Acceptance of physical custody of hazardous property shall be determined based upon 

the guidelines in DODM 4160.21 Vol. 4: Defense Material Disposition: Instructions for 

Hazardous Property and Other Special Processing Material.

Prohibited Property:

DLA Disposition Services WILL NOT accept (either physically or on its account) the following 

categories of property; no reutilization or sale service shall be given: 

• Radioactive material or waste, and unsalable material of a non-hazardous nature. This 

category includes, but is not limited to DOD inspection stamps, devices, consecrated 

religious items, and CLASSIFIED cryptographic equipment*

• Live MPPEH*

• CLASSIFIED / COMSEC Material / Cryptographic*

• Property containing information covered by the Privacy Act
Published August 2022

15

• Refuse and trash (e.g., construction debris, concrete, yard waste) 

• Articles from any Foreign Service or non-U.S. government owned property, unless 

authorized through formal agreement

* DLA Disposition Services cannot receive this type of property in its original configuration. 

Radioactive property must be rendered non-radioactive, MPPEH must be certified as Material 

Documented as Safe (MDAS) or inert, classified material must have a certificate of 

declassification and all classified markings removed and must have DEMIL accomplished with 

appropriate DEMIL certificates attached with DD Form 1348-1A.

NOTE: Appropriate statements and documentation must be included with turn-in. If not 

provided property will be rejected, and the generator will need to make corrections.

To schedule a Turn-In visit: https://www.dla.mil/Disposition-Services/DDSR/Turn-In/

Note: When canceling an approved appointment please give at least 32 hours of advance

notice. By providing advance notice the appointment may be requested by other customers to 

turn in property. Customers who are repeated no-shows for appointments may be blocked

from booking future appointments.

Usable Property:

Usable property shall be turned-in as individual line items with their assigned and valid NSN. In 

some cases, it is acceptable to group like items on the same DTID (e.g., one DTID for 50 

computers with the same NSN and condition code). 

Scrap Property:

Scrap is defined as material that has no value except for its basic material content. If property is 

recognizable as an end use item, it is not scrap*.

*If the item has a valid NSN the item must be turned in as an item and NOT as scrap.

The turn-in document (DD Form 1348-1A) for scrap must include:

• Supply Condition Code must be “S” 

• The basic material contents

• Unit of issue annotated in pounds, kilograms (many OCONUS regions), or grams (for fine 

precious metals)

• POC information

10. HAZARDOUS MATERIAL/WASTE TURN-IN: 

Before turning in Hazardous Material (HM) and/or Hazardous Waste (HW) to DLA Disposition 

Services, it is highly encouraged to first work with your Host Installation Environmental Office 

or Environmental POC(s) as there may be other venues the Host/Environmental POC utilizes for 

the type of material you are no longer needing. Every Installation has environmental permitting 

requirements and discarding certain substances could negatively impact these permits. 

Environmental POCs can be located in an Installation directory, or you can reach out to one of 

DLA Disposition Services Environmental Protection Specialists located worldwide. To find 

contacts at one of our sites closest to your location, use: https://www.dla.mil/DispositionServices/Find-Location/.
Published August 2022

17

DLA Disposition Services accepts accountability for HM and HW as Receipt-In-Place (RIP) only 

using a standard Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) or RIP Form(s). DLA Form 2543 is for HW

and DLA From 2542 is for Useable, Scrap, and HM.

DLA Disposition Services utilizes a wide network of environmental contractors to provide 

services and dispose of HM/HW. The RIP location must be an authorized approved pick-up 

point on the awarded contract before service can be requested.

Per DoDM 4160.21 Volume 2, system sent data for routine HM/HW disposal is required. Many 

military services utilize a type of software to complete these transactions, such as United States 

Air Force ESOH-MIS or Army’s WASTE. If needing a system to utilize, DLA Disposition Services 

offers a free to use system called “1348 Online.” Sign up and instructions to use can be found at 

https://www.dla.mil/Disposition-Services/DDSR/Turn-In/ETID/

DLA Disposition Services also offers ability to sell large amounts of usable HM (e.g., bulk offspecification fuels). This can offer cost savings to the Installation by avoiding more expensive 

disposal costs.

Procedures for turning-in hazardous property are commodity-based and complex. You can find 

further information located at https://www.dla.mil/Disposition-Services/DDSR/Turn-In/Turn-InToolbox/ and selecting the type of unique property you are wanting to turn-in.

For further guidance on utilizing DLA Disposition Services environmental contracts, possible 

sales, and/or turn-in of hazardous property, you can contact your local DLA Disposition Services 

Environmental Protection Specialist using https://www.dla.mil/Disposition-Services/FindLocation/.

11. INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPERTY REQUIRING SPECIAL 

PROCESSING: 

DODM 4160.21 Volume 4 lists the detailed guidance for the disposition and disposal of 

property requiring special handling. It is recommended that generators coordinate the 

turn-in with servicing DLA Disposition Services site personnel since property requiring 

special handling oftentimes requires additional instructions and/or certifications to 

accompany the DD Form 1348-1A. The local DSR is the customer’s first point of contact.

The following list includes those items most commonly generated for disposal to DLA 

Disposition Services that require special handling/additional documentation. 

11.1. AIRCRAFT:

11.1.1. The DLA-DS Aircraft Turn-In Checklist can be used for all categories of aircraft, it 

was developed to assist customers and Disposition Services personnel in certifying 

aircraft are turned-in properly.

11.1.2. The owning Military Service shall screen aircraft with the other Military Services 

and DOD activities, and then report excess to GSA. For specific turn-in information 

for Categories A, B, and C aircraft see DODM 4160.21 Vol 4.

11.2. CLASSIFIED MATERIAL, COMSEC, AND DEMIL P:

It is the responsibility of the generating activity to ensure proper disposition of COMSEC 

or controlled cryptographic item (CCI) materiel in accordance with the National Security 

Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Instruction Number 4004, prior 

to the transfer of equipment, if any, to DLA Disposition Services Sites.

Items in FSCs 5810 (COMSEC) or 5811 (Cryptologic) that are designated as COMSEC or 

CCI, and fall under the CIIC of “9”, will be rejected back to the DOD components for 

processing.

All other items in these FSCs with a code other than CIIC 9 or another form of 

identification as COMSEC or CCI can be turned-in to a DLA Disposition Services Site for 

disposal according to standard disposal procedures (e.g., brackets, dials, access panels, 

retainers).

DLA Disposition Services Sites must check items suspected of being COMSEC or CCI 

against federal logistics (FEDLOG) to validate the CIIC. Suspect items that are transferred 

under an LSN must be checked to determine if they have NSA or COMSEC metal 

identification tags, identification labels, or any other markings that may identify the 

item as COMSEC or CCI.

DLA Disposition Services Sites may only accept scrap receipts of COMSEC or CCI property 

provided they have been processed according to NSA regulation and Naval Sea Systems 

Command Instruction (NAVSEAINST) (C5511.32B) and all decals, data plates, and other 

identification, which would indicate that the property was once COMSEC or CCI 

equipment, have been removed. NOTE: COMSEC NSNs are frequently categorized as 

DEMIL F, which requires special instructions to be accomplished before disposal. For 

additional information concerning DEMIL F property, review section 12.8 in this 

handbook.

11.3. SHIPS, BOATS, AND CRAFT:

11.3.1. Merchant Vessels or Ships or Vessels or Ships

The Naval Sea Systems Command’s Program Executive Office (PEO) Ships manages 

acquisition and complete life cycle support for all U.S. Navy non-nuclear surface ships. 

These ships range from combatants to amphibious ships to supply and replenishment 

cargo ships. For these and all other non-nuclear surface craft, PEO Ships maintains 

“cradle to grave” responsibility. 

At the end of a ship’s life- PEO Ships manages formal decommissioning from the Fleet 

and, in some cases transfers or sells ships to friendly foreign navies.

When a ship is not transferred or sold, PEO Ships manages its inactivation and safe 

disposition through the U.S. Navy Inactive Ships Program (PMS-333).

Merchant vessels or ships capable of conversion to merchant use, of 1,500 gross tons or 

more, when determined to be excess, will be reported by the owning Service for 

disposal to:

Director, Office of Ships Operations

U.S. Department of Transportation

Maritime Administration

400 Seventh Street, SW.

Washington, DC 20590

11.3.2. Non-combatant U.S. Navy Ships

Non-combatant U.S. Navy ships listed in the Naval Vessel Register (NVR), when 

determined excess by the U.S. Navy, will be reported according to instructions furnished 

by the Chief of Naval Operations, Department of the Navy, to DLA Disposition Services. 

The Department of the U.S. Navy is responsible for DOD internal screening for these 

vessels. FCA screening will be accomplished according to procedures established between 

the Department of the U.S. Navy and GSA. Accountability for these ships and craft will 

remain with the Department of the U.S. Navy until transferred, donated, or sold. 

All U.S. Navy decommissioned nuclear submarines and carriers are disposed of by PEO 

submarines and PEO carriers respectively.

11.3.3. U.S. Navy Boats and Small Craft

U.S. Navy and US Coast Guard boats and small craft will not be transferred to DLA 

Disposition Services Sites for disposal processing unless an authorization letter 

accompanies the property from the Boat Inventory Manager (BIM) Combatant Craft 

Department (CCD). 

This authorization is normally a letter from the BIM CCD to the custodian and the local 

DLA Disposition Services Site, specifying the turn-in for disposal. 

If the custodian receives a fax of the letter before the DLA Disposition Services Site has 

received a mailed copy, this signed copy attached to the DD Form 1348-1A is adequate 

authorization. 

The letter should include a BIM CCD POC for any questions that might arise. The same 

policy applies to issues.

furniture to turn-in. This will allow the DSR ample time to advertise and find a customer.

During the dismantling of your Good Usable Furniture:

Pay careful attention not to destroy or damage the components of furniture or loose 

smaller parts and hardware required for reassembly. Use plastic bags for screws, nuts 

and bolts and tape these to the larger pieces. Also, tape smaller parts like table legs etc.,

to keep the item complete.

These steps are best practice and will allow DLA Disposition Services to provide good usable 

furniture with required parts for reassembly and help us build a good reputation as a valuable

source of supply for furniture.

11.12. HELICOPTER BLADES AND TAIL ROTORS:

than $5,000 and the machines are in SCC greater than “H.”
Published August 2022

33

11.13.2. Generating Activities Responsibilities 

When authorized for disposal by the CMM, the document number assigned to 

either format of the original report of excess will be perpetuated on the DTID for 

transfer to the DLA Disposition Services Site. 

A copy of the disposition instructions received from DLA Aviation and two copies of 

the DD Form 1342, when applicable, will be attached to the DTID. DLA Disposition 

Services Sites will then process the MM as normal excess. 

Attach a copy of the PCB laboratory analysis and certification statement to the 

DTID. MM which was manufactured before July 1984 must be accompanied by a 

copy of the PCB laboratory analysis proving that it contains less than 50 ppm PCBs, 

and a signed and dated “Generating Activity Certification” form.

MM which was manufactured after June 1984 will be accepted without a PCB 

laboratory analysis, if:

i. The date of manufacture is stamped on the machine itself, or otherwise 

clearly identified on an attached manufacturer's data plate.

ii. The generator provides a signed and dated certification document 

containing the statement: “I certify that this metalworking machine 

contains zero or less than 50 ppm PCBs, based upon the fact that it was 

manufactured after June 30, 1984, and to the best of my knowledge, no 

PCBs were ever added before or after taking possession of this machine.” 

Attach a copy of the certification statement to the DTID.

11.14. MATERIAL POTENTIALLY PRESENTING AN EXPLOSIVE HAZARD 

(MPPEH) AND MPPEH RESIDUE:

MPPEH is a designation for material that is owned or controlled by DOD that, before 

determination of its explosive safety status, potentially contains explosives hazards 

and/or munitions. MPPEH is addressed by DOD Instruction 4140.62, “Material 

Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard.” 

DLA Disposition Services must ensure that only Material Documented as Safe (MDAS) or 

inert certified items may be released to the public. As such, property exposed to 

explosives or munitions requires an MDAS Certification or Inert Certification prior to 

turn-in. Items documented as MDAS do not require an inert certification. Items 

documented as inert do not require MDAS.

Fillable MDAS Certification: https://demil.osd.mil/documents/mdas.pdf

MDAS Statement: “The material listed on this form has been inspected or processed by 

DDESB-approved means, as required by DOD policy, and to the best of my knowledge 

and belief does not pose an explosive hazard.”
Published August 2022

34

Fillable Inert Certificate: https://demil.osd.mil/documents/InertCertificate.pdf

Inert Statement: The property associated with this DTID has been inspected by the 

Certifier and independently re-inspected by the Verifier and to the best of our knowledge 

is free of materiel potentially presenting an explosive hazard).

MDAS/Inert Certification must be included or attached to the DD Form 1348-1A and 

on each container/property.

If Fillable MDAS/INERT Certification forms are not used, the following applicable 

statements may be input on DD Form 1348-1A with required Certifier and Verifier 

Signature POC information.

11.14.1. Examples of MPPEH material include:

i. Munitions containers and packaging material

ii. Munitions debris remaining after munitions use

iii. Demilitarization residue

iv. Disposal and range-related debris

v. Material potentially containing a high enough concentration of explosives 

such that the material presents an explosive hazard such as: equipment, 

drainage systems, holding tanks, piping, and ventilation ducts that were 

associated with munitions productions, demilitarization, or disposal 

operations.

11.14.2. MDAS is MPPEH that has been assessed and documented as not 

presenting an explosive hazard. MDAS Certification requires two independent 

signatures by trained and certified personnel. 

i. The first signatory may be either a DOD employee or a DOD contractor. This 

signatory must have performed or witnessed the initial 100-percent visual 

inspection or the use of a DDESB (Department of Defense Explosive Safety 

Board)-approved means for processing the material or have applied expert 

knowledge criteria to determine that the material is in the condition 

expected.

ii. The second signatory must be a U.S. citizen who may be either a DOD

employee or a DOD contractor. If the first signatory performed or witnessed 

a visual inspection, the second signatory must have performed or witnessed 

the second independent 100-percent visual inspection. If the first signatory 

used a DDESB-approved means for processing the material, the second 

signatory must have witnessed or performed the specified post-process 

inspection by sampling or other methodology as specified in DDESBapproved means. If the first signatory applied expert knowledge, the second 

signatory must have independently applied expert knowledge criteria to 

verify the material is in the condition expected.
Published August 2022

iii. The second signatory must be a technically qualified, U.S. citizen who is 

either a DOD employee or DOD Contractor who either performed or 

witnessed the 100-percent re-inspection or conducted an independent 

quality assurance inspection of processed material using an approved 

sampling method. 

iv. Each signatory must ensure the chain of custody was maintained before 

signing the explosives safety documentation.

11.14.3. An inert certification is applicable to materials that could conceivably 

contain live munitions, but do not meet the DODM 4140.72 Management of 

Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard (MPPEH). Inert Certification 

requires two independent signatures by certified personnel. The following nonmunitions items will be accepted by DLA Disposition Services if the non-munitions 

items are certified Inert and include an Inert Certification: 

i. Small arms and light weapons (complete weapon) 

ii. Barrel assembly and upper receiver 

iii. Ammunition pouches/outer tactical vests/individual load-bearing 

equipment/Modular Lightweight Load Carrying Equipment (MOLLE) 

iv. Ammunition magazines and clips 

v. Bandoleers and ammunition belts 

vi. Wholly Inert/Dummy munitions 

11.14.4. Excluded from the requirements of an Inert Certification are: 

i. Military munitions and military munitions-related materials, including wholly 

inert components (e.g., fins, launch tubes, containers, packaging material), 

that are to be used or reused for their intended purpose and are within a 

DOD Component-established munitions management system. 

ii. Items that never conceivably contained munitions. 

iii. Materials classified as MPPEH. MPPEH must be certified and documented as 

Material Documented as Safe (MDAS) prior to acceptance by DLA Disposition 

Services.

Step Three: Email a copy of the completed form to smblogcomjeap@usmc.mil. You 

will receive disposition authorization within 5 working days

DLA sites are not supposed to receive CBRN-D equipment, but if they do receive 

CBRN items, an MRO will be produced in 48 hours to direct the shipment to Albany 

GA (JEFS). DSR’s should be working with the Generators, ensuring they follow the 

DEMIL F instructions, which refers them back to JEFS Disposition Form

11.16.2. NBC/CBRN-D turn-in guidance can be found in the DEMIL F Instructions, for 

more guidance contact smblogcomjeap@usmc.mil

11.17. MATERIALS CONTAINING PRECIOUS METALS:

Any precious metals bearing item/property that are turned into DLA Disposition Services 

Sites may be processed for precious metals recovery. Precious metals include gold, 

silver, or platinum family metals.

If the NSN is known, utilize WEBFLIS

(www.dla.mil/HQ/InformationOperations/Offers/Products/LogisticsApplications/WebFLI

S.aspx) for further guidance. You will find one of the describing blocks with the name 

“PMIC”. This is the Precious Metals Indicator Code. If it is any letter other than “A” or 

“U” it is a Precious Metal Bearing Material (PMBM).

In order for the PMBM to be turned into DLA Disposition Services, the property must be 

in scrap condition, meaning there is no other value than the material contents of the 

property. 
Published August 2022

41

If the PMBM is still in good condition (i.e., can still be used), then the property must be 

turned- in as a “usable”.

Contact your nearest DLA Disposition Services Field Site DSR to assist with completing 

turn-in documents or also contact the PMRP team group email 

(dla.disp.srvcs.pmrp@dla.mil) to help with any other questions relating to the PMRP.

11.19. REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT AND APPLIANCES:

11.19.1. Section 7401 of Reference (q) (also known as “the Clean Air Act of 1990”) 

requires certain substances that have destructive effects on the ozone layer (including 

CFCs, halons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform and hydro CFCs (HCFCs)) not be 

vented to the environment and be phased out from production over an extended 

period of time as described for class I and class II Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS).
Published August 2022

11.19.2. Refrigerants, halons, and ODS recovery cylinders required by the Reserve 

Services will not be turned-in to the DLA Disposition Services Sites. For procedural 

guidelines for turning-in ozone depleting substances visit:

https://www.dla.mil/Disposition-Services/DDSR/Turn-In/Turn-In-Forms/

11.19.3. Transferring excess refrigeration equipment and appliances containing 

refrigerants (e.g., enameled white goods such as household refrigerators, room air 

conditioners, water coolers) and other refrigeration equipment, eligible for RTDS, will 

be accomplished using an MOU between DLA Disposition Services and the generating 

activity to define responsibilities and ensure certified equipment and technician 

recovery of the refrigerants if the property fails RTDS.

Major categories of refrigeration equipment regulated for safe disposal:

i. Household Refrigeration: Refrigerators and freezers – intended primarily for 

household use though they may be used outside the home (e.g., offices).

ii. Other Refrigerated Appliances: Dehumidifiers; vending machines; ice makers; 

water coolers.

iii. Residential Air Conditioning. Window units; packaged terminal air conditioners; 

central air conditioners; light commercial air conditioners; heat pumps.

iv. Retail Food. Small reach-in refrigerators and freezers; refrigerated display cases; 

walk-in coolers and freezers; large parallel rack systems.

v. Laboratory Refrigeration. Excludes Controlled Lab Equipment.

vi. Transportation Refrigeration. Refrigerated ship holds; truck trailers; railway 

freight cars; other shipping containers.

vii. Commercial Comfort Air Conditioning. Centrifugal chillers; reciprocating chillers; 

screw chiller.

viii. Cold Storage Warehouses.

ix. Industrial Process Refrigeration. Industrial ice machines; ice rinks.

x. Military Equipment. The final rule does not apply to devices containing and 

using refrigerants that are designed for and used solely in a military application, 

unless their system of parts in that equipment is identical to equipment used for 

household or commercial purposes.

11.19.4. Usable or Serviceable Property:

11.19.4.1. Generating activities should not remove the refrigerant from 

usable or serviceable refrigeration property. The DTID and the property 

will be marked and labeled with the words “NOTICE: Contains

the property prior to final disposal. Additionally, DLA will ensure that a 

signed and dated statement of refrigerant removal is provided by the 

generating activity giving the information listed (see DLA Disposition 

Services Form 2545). The generating activity, upon notification by DLA 

Disposition Services Site, has the responsibility of funding and ensuring 

that the refrigerant is removed or recovered from the property prior to 

going to scrap or a landfill. The DLA Disposition Services Site will 

downgrade the property to scrap once the signed removal certificate 

has been received

11.19.5. Unserviceable and scrap:

11.19.5.1. Generating activities will remove or recover refrigerants prior to 

transferring unserviceable or scrap refrigeration equipment to a DLA 

Disposition Services Site.

11.19.5.2. The EPA considers compressors an “appliance.” So, if the 

compressor is removed from a refrigerator, the compressor becomes 

an appliance, and the refrigerant must be removed from the 

compressor.

11.19.5.3. DLA Disposition Services Sites will retain the statement and 

documentation in their property accounting files in accordance with the

DLA SOP 5015.01 as supplemental documents. A label will be attached 

to the property for inventory and storage purposes to indicate the 

refrigerant has been removed or recovered prior to turn-in as 

unserviceable or scrap. The label will contain the statement: “NOTICE:

11.26. PROPERTY REQUIRING DEMIL ACTION PRIOR TO TURN-IN TO DLA:

Procedures for accomplishing physical DEMIL range from detailed, step-by-step 

procedures unique to a specific item (e.g., DEMIL code “F” items) to those that can be 

applied to a more general range of items (e.g., operation of an industrial shredder) and 

those that apply a general technique (e.g., torch cutting) using a standard operating 

procedure. General principles to aid in procedure development are: 

(1) Technical data shall be demilitarized by burning, crosscut shredding, or 

pulping.
