QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.
4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the
contract or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the performance
of all inspection requirements (examinations and tests) as specified herein.
Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the
contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the
requirements specified
performance of
the inspection
herein,
unless
disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform
any inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are
deemed necessary to ensure supplies and services conform to prescribed
requirements.
4.1.1 Responsibility for compliance. All items shall meet all require-
ments of sections 3 and 5. The inspections set forth in this specification
shall become a part of the contract-or's overall inspection system-or quality
program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the specification
shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all
products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with
all requirements
of the
contract. Sampling inspection,
as part of
manufacturing operations, is an acceptable practice to ascertain conformance
to requirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known
defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the
Government to accept defective material.
4.2 Classification of inspections.
The inspection requirements specified
herein are classified as follows:
a.
First article inspection (see 4.4).
b.
Quality conformance inspection (see 4.5).
c.
Acceptance test (see 4.6).
4.3 Inspection conditions. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), all
inspections shall be performed in accordance with the test conditions
specified in 4.8.1.
4.4 First article inspection. When a
first article
inspection is
required, it shall be applied to the first article submitted in accordance
with 3.1. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), first article inspection
shall consist of the examination in 4.7, and all tests in 4.8. The components
shall pass the examination and all tests to be accepted.
4.4.1 Sample inspection. As a
minimum
sampling
inspection,
the
contractor or supplier shall randomly select the number of samples in table
III that is applicable to the quantity of components being purchased. Each
sample component shall be inspected to determine conformance with the
examination in 4.7. Should any of the sample components fail to meet either
the examination or inspection below, the entire lot shall be considered
defective and unsuitable for acceptance. A lot is defined as all components
of the same type, and size presented at one time for acceptance. Sample
inspection shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-105.
