(a)   Linear accelerometers having any of the following characteristics:

(1)    Specified to function at linear acceleration levels less than or equal to 15 g and having:

(a)    A "bias" "stability" of less (better) than 130 micro g with respect to a fixed calibration value over a period of one year; or

(b)    A "scale factor" "stability" of less (better) than 130 ppm with respect to a fixed calibration value over a period of one year;

(2)    Specified to function at linear acceleration levels exceeding 15 g and having:

(a)    A "bias" "repeatability" of less (better) than 5000 micro g over a period of one year; and

(b)    A "scale factor" "repeatability" of less (better) than 2500 ppm over a period of one year;

(3)    Designed for use in inertial navigation or guidance systems and specified to function at linear acceleration levels exceeding 100 g; and

(b)   Angular or rotational accelerometers, specified to function at linear acceleration levels exceeding 100 g;
