The MIL-STD-105E was officially cancelled in February 1995 by the Air Force. We continue list it because many companies continue to use this standard for inspection. ANSI/ASC Z1.4-1993 is nearly identical to MIL-STD-105E. The MIL-STD-105E was cancelled to reduce costs through the elimination of duplication. Many other standards were cancelled as well where nearly equivalent civilian standards existed.
