Section 3. Cross Reference Between Def Stan 00-60 and S2000M IP Data Elements
7 Data Management
A cross-reference list of relevant S2000M IP Data Elements and Text Element Identifiers (TEI), and the LSAR Data Element Definition (DED) Dictionary is at annex D to this Part of this Defence Standard. Where CAGE is used it shall be taken to mean NSCM through Parts 21 to 26 of this Defence Standard.
8 Data Element Categories
Each data element within each message is shown as either Key, Mandatory, Conditional or Optional, Not Used, Not Present which are defined as follows:
(a)Key Data (Key) - Data elements which are essential for accessing data in the system to which the message is addressed. Key Data elements are mandatory.
(b)Mandatory (M) - Data elements which must always be present in the message.
(c)Conditional (C) - Data elements which are present/absent subject to the conditions specified within the essentiality column of the annexes.
(d)Optional (O) - Data elements which do not have to appear, but can be used if desired.
(e)M/n, C/n or O/n - signifies that a mandatory, conditional or optional data element is repeatable up to n times.
(f)Not Used (NU) - identifies that the data element will not be used when contracting with MOD. If a Contractor includes a data element that has been identified as NU, within a transaction, the message will not be rejected; however, the data element will not be processed with the Customer’s application.
(g)Not Present (NP) - identifies that the specified data element shall not be present within a transaction. If a Contractor includes a data element that has been identified as NP, within a transaction, the message will be rejected and the appropriate ERRNLT message sent (For further details of ERRNLT messages, refer to S2000M Appendix 2, Annex F).
9 Disposal of Equipment
This paragraph covers the disposal of equipment that is the responsibility of CDP or the PAOs and is unsuitable or no longer required. A disposal Plan is to be agreed with the contractor at the outset of the project which should include the following aspects:
a. Disposal risks and Life Cycle Cost implications of hazardous equipment returned to Industry for disposal. These should be included in the Project Management Plan.
7
DEF STAN 00-60 (PART 20)/4
b.Health and Safety regulations, including those relating to disposal of packaging materials.
c.Consultation on opportunities for reuse or recycling of disposed material.

Contract Requirements
When Defence Standards are incorporated into contracts users are responsible for their correct application and for complying with contract requirements.
Revision of Defence Standards
Defence Standards are revised when necessary by the issue either of amendments or of revised editions. It is important that users of Defence Standards should ascertain that they are in possession of the latest amendments or editions. Information on all Defence Standards is contained in DEF STAN 00-00 (Part 3) Section 4, Index of Standards for Defence Procurement - Index of Defence Standards and Specifications published annually and supplemented periodically by Standards in Defence News. Any person who, when making use of a Defence Standard encounters an inaccuracy or ambiguity is requested to notify the Directorate of Standardization without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.
