procedures of the shelter. The prolonged use of these materials without protection can cause skin irritation. Inhalation of
the vapors can be toxic if inhaled in quantity. Refer to FM 21-11 for first aid information.
1-8. CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL. Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army material is a
continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion problems with this item be reported so that the problem can be
corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the problem in future items.
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 keywords 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 the DA PAM 738-750.
