1-7. Requirements for Procurement, Relocation and Repair of Oil Analysis Equipment. All requirements for

procurement, relocation or repair of oil analysis spectrometers and ancillary equipment shall be submitted to the

appropriate Service Program Managers in sufficient time to allow interservice coordination of the action, if

required. Detailed instructions for obtaining repair of spectrometers are contained in Volume II.

NOTE

During periods of shutdown such as shipyard repair or shop renovation, laboratory

managers will ensure that JOAP laboratory personnel protect the spectrometer with a

plastic covering. Seal off the spectrometer from possible contamination for dust and/or

water by using tape to secure the plastic covering.

1-8. Relocation of Oil Analysis Using Organizations/Customers. Any time that an oil analysis customer

relocates, either deployed or permanently, and oil analysis services are required at the new location, the transfer

of workload and provision of services shall be handled through the normal chain of command in order to ensure

orderly transfer of support. Unusual problems encountered should be referred to the appropriate service oil

analysis Program Management office for resolution.

When it is known that away from home base oil analysis support will be required on extended

duration transit flights, transferring customers are responsible for obtaining complete oil analysis records for their

equipment from the losing laboratory and for delivery of the records to the gaining laboratory at the new operating

site. If sufficient time is not available to comply with these procedures prior to departure, the customer shall notify

the losing laboratory concerning the relocation and the losing laboratory shall mail or electronically transfer all

required oil analysis records to the gaining laboratory.

Deployment/Permanent Relocation. Transferring activity (Customer). The customer activity is

responsible for notifying the home base supporting oil analysis laboratory concerning transfer/deployment

schedules in advance of departure. Advance notice is required in order to provide the laboratory sufficient time

for orderly processing of records for transfer to the new supporting laboratory to avoid disruption in equipment oil

analysis monitoring schedules. The losing laboratory will forward equipment oil analysis records directly to the

receiving laboratory unless directed otherwise by competent authority. The losing laboratory shall ensure that

each equipment record transferred is complete, accurate and legible. When the customer returns to home base,

records of analysis done at intermediate locations must be delivered to the regular supporting laboratory. If the

customer departs prior to receipt of the completed record, the intermediate laboratory will forward the completed

record to the regular supporting laboratory.

1-9. Requests from Foreign Countries. Requests from foreign agencies for JOAP technical information,

assistance, equipment, spare parts, consumable supplies, etc. under Mutual Assistance Programs (MAP),

Foreign Military Sales (FMS), Grant Aid Programs or other mutually beneficial programs should be addressed to

the nearest United States Military Advisory Group for consideration and/or processing. Requests from foreign

countries for participation in the JOAP Correlation Program are addressed in Section IV of this volume.
