3.4 Reworking of markings.

3.4.1 Coaxial and multiconductor cables. Markings that have

been hot-stamped directly on the outer jacket of a cable or on an

identification sleeve may be reworked by hot-stamping the new "dash"

number (eg. -01) at the side of the obsolete designation. The old

designation shall not be removed. The surface of the insulation

shall be clean before hot-stamping the new designation. Example:

obsolete designation, "123456-00", reworked designation,

"123456-00-01."

3.4.2 Cables with insulation sleeving. In the rework of

cables, where it is not necessary to remove the connector or insu-

lation sleeving, rework markings shall be made with identification

tapes (see 3.3). The operation shall be performed by loosening

the clamp and slipping the sleeving back along the bundle of wires.

If the obsolete marking is on tape, the old tape shall be removed

and replaced with new tape containing the new designation. If the

obsolete marking is hot-stamped on the sleeving, tape printed re-

currently with the new "dash" number (eg. -01) shall be applied

around the wires in proper location to appear beside and under the

hot-stamped marking (eg. XXXXXX-XX-01). The hot-stamped marking

shall not be removed. If it is necessary to remove the connector

or sleeving during rework. the rework markings may be made with

identification tapes, by hot-stamping new designations on the old

sleeving in a manner similar to that specified in 3.4.1, or by hot-

stamping a new sleeving.

3.5 Workmanship.

Hot-stamped markings shall be sharp and

clearly defined. The markings shall be applied in such a manner

as to be impressed no more than one-fourth the thickness of the

material and without damage to the insulation. The ink in the

markings shall be adherent. Identification tapes and sleeves

shall be neatly applied using good workmanship.

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS

4.1 Inspection. The marked material shall be checked to as-

certain that the markings are impressed to provide a permanent mark-

ing and that the insulation has not been damaged in the marking

process. The adhesion of the ink shall be tested by rubbing the
