and provide access for inspection and maintenance.
Environmental
extremes also must be taken into consideration.

which would provide protection from bumping and jarring when nearby
equipment is moved. However, as a minimum, power shall be discon-
nected, and a protective covering shall be provided to protect the
stand from dust and excessive moisture.
(3) Storage shall be in a location which will be secure, free
from pilferage, tampering, and unauthorized access.
(4) The container or covering enclosing the stand shall be
marked so as to readily identify the contents. As a minimum, the NSN
and nomenclature shall be clearly marked in locations which are highly
visible.
(5) The storage area must have an adequate fire plan and fire-
fighting equipment.
