The origins of this engineering document track back to the Department of Defense (DoD) standardization initiatives.

Supplied sleeving must have a continuous operating temperature range of , with short-term survivability up to 200°C.

As of 2026, the standard is maintained, with versions like SAE-AS33514E (published April 2019) providing updated specifications.
