This specification covers the general requirements for test equipment (see 6.5.2.14) used in testing and calibrating electrical and electronic equipment. The test equipment may be of commercial design and includes general purpose, special purpose, peculiar, console mounted, automatic test equipment (ATE), and calibration standards. This specification should also be used for built-in test
equipment (BITE) (see 6.5.2.6) when the requirements for built-in test (BIT) (see 6.5 .2.5) are not included in the system specification. Detailed requirements for particular test equipment should be tailored in a purchase description (see 6.5.2.22) for that equipment.
