1-3. CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC) (Contd)

While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include

deterioration of other materials, such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking,

softening, swelling, or breaking of these materials may be a corrosion problem.

If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using Standard Form 368,

Product Quality Deficiency Report. Use of key words such as corrosion, rust,

deterioration, or cracking will ensure that the information is identified as a CPC

problem.

The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA Pam 738-750.
