MIL-C-5541 CLASS 1A

Q. I am a powder coater and have a customer that requires their parts to be Alodined. We have done this but now they require the Alodine to be mil spec MIL-C-5541 class 1a. I can't find the mil spec at the assist on the dod web site. The one I find has an E at the end of it. Is that the same? Please advise. Thank you.

A. That's the one. The 'E' just means revision E.
