At the time of inspection, documentation in support of this requirement shall be made available to the COR.

4.1.2 Test plan and procedures. The Contractor shall provide a test plan to the COR for first article and production items. The plan shall describe how the tests and inspections in paragraph 4.7 (inspections and tests) shall be performed and documented on the QAIF described in paragraph 3.10.1. Sample size shall be per 4.3.1 (first article samples) and 4.5.1 (production lot sampling). This will ensure all requirements are met per 4.7 (tests and inspections).

4.2 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows:

First article inspection (paragraph 4.3)

Contractor production inspection (paragraph 4.5)

Coast Guard production inspection (paragraph 4.6)

4.3 First article inspection. When first article samples are required, the Contractor shall perform a first article inspection in accordance with paragraph 4.7. First article inspection shall be performed by the Contractor and at the Contractor’s facility. The first articles shall meet the requirements of this specification and shall pass all the tests and inspections listed in this section.

Samples submitted for first article testing and approval shall be representative of the contractor's proposed normal production. Upon satisfactory completion of first article testing, samples not subject to the breaking load test may be submitted as deliverables to the Coast Guard.

4.3.1.1 First article tests and inspections notification. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least ten (10) business days prior to the scheduled commencement of any inspections and tests required by this specification.

4.3.2 Waiver of first article requirements. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to waive all or part of the first article requirements specified herein.

4.3.3 Acceptance/rejection criteria. The results of the first article inspection will be reviewed by the Contracting Officer to determine compliance with the requirements of this specification. Failure of any of the tests or inspections described herein will be cause for rejection of the first article.

4.3.3.1 Notification of rejection. If the first article lot is rejected, the Contractor will be notified in writing by the Contracting Officer and allowed fourteen (14) business days to fix the defects or resubmit a new first article lot. Repair or replacement of the failed first articles shall be by the Contractor at the Contractor's expense.

4.3.4 Authorization to proceed. Upon successful completion of the first article inspection, the Contracting Officer will provide the Contractor with written authorization to begin fabricating production quantities.

4.4 Standardization. Materials, parts, design, and fabrication methods used in the production quantities shall be identical to those used in the first articles, unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer.

4.5 Contractor production inspection. The tests and inspections required by this specification are not intended to supplant any controls, examinations, inspections, or tests normally employed by the Contractor to assure product quality. The Contractor shall perform the tests and inspections specified in paragraph 4.7 to ensure conformance to this specification. The Contractor shall provide space, personnel, and test equipment to conduct all inspection and test requirements.

4.5.1 Production lot sampling. A random sample of items shall be selected from each production lot. The minimum sample size shall be in accordance with Table IV and Table V. A production lot (batch) consists of all items of the same class, and type made from the same heat of steel, and submitted for inspection at the same time. Each lot sample shall be examined to verify conformance to requirements stated in applicable specifications and drawings. Samples that fail to comply with any production test requirements of this specification, have any defects that will interfere with a sample item’s use, or will decrease its reliability shall be rejected. Entire lots shall be rejected when the quantity of nonconformance exceeds those listed in Table IV and Table V.

4.6 Coast Guard production inspection. The Coast Guard reserves the right to observe, verify, or perform the tests and inspections outlined in paragraph 4.7. During the Coast Guard inspection, the COR will use the sampling plans, defect categories, rejection criteria, outlined in paragraphs 4.5.1, 4.8, and 4.9 (and all associated sub-paragraphs).

4.7 Inspections and tests. The following tests and inspections shall be conducted for each first article unit and subsequent production units:

Material certifications (3.2) Visual inspection [Design (3.3), Finish (3.7), Surfaces (3.8), Identification marking (3.9)] Proof load (3.4) Breaking load (3.5) Documentation (3.10)

4.7.1 Material certifications (Mill reports). Shall be provided to the COR to verify compliance with Table I and Table II.

4.7.2 Visual inspection. Each item shall be visually inspected to verify conformance with paragraphs 3.3 (design), 3.7 (finish), 3.8 (surfaces), and 3.9 (identification marking). Items failing to comply with the requirements of this specification shall be rejected.

4.7.3 Proof load test. The Contractor shall proof test each shackle assembly, shackle pin, and Modeer shackle assembly manufactured under this specification. Items which fail this proof testing prior to being offered for Coast Guard inspection may be reworked, or screened for defectives, and re-tested. This process shall be recorded on the QAIF (3.10.1). At the time of Coast Guard inspection, every shackle assembly, shackle pin, and Modeer shackle assembly offered shall have successfully passed the proof load test as specified in paragraph 3.4 (Table III). The Contractor shall certify this by submitting a Certificate of Performance (see 6.2) for each batch offered. In addition, at the time of Coast Guard inspection, the Contractor shall proof test the samples chosen in accordance with paragraph 4.9.2 (Table V) in the presence of the COR. If any item fails the proof test at this time, it shall be considered a major defect.

4.7.3.1 Method of proof load testing. Shackle assemblies and Modeer shackle assemblies shall be proof tested assembled. These items may be proof tested individually or in a series. When shackle pins are to be furnished alone, they may be proof tested individually, or by inserting them into shackle bodies of the appropriate class and tested as assemblies. Application of the proof load shall be at the centerline of the sample. The diameter of the attachments used in the proof tests shall not be greater than the size of the sample being tested.

4.7.4 Breaking load test. The Contractor shall perform breaking load tests in the presence of the COR, using samples chosen in accordance with paragraph 4.9.2 (Table V). Shackle assemblies and Modeer shackle assemblies shall be break tested assembled. When shackle pins are to be furnished alone, they may be break tested individually, or by inserting them into shackle bodies of the appropriate class and tested as assemblies. Application of the breaking load shall be at the centerline of the sample. The diameter of the attachments used in the breaking load tests shall not be greater than the size of the sample being tested.

4.7.5 Documentation review. The documentation required by paragraph 3.10 shall be reviewed for conformance with this specification and copies will be provided to the COR.

4.8 Defect categories. The defect categories listed below will be used during the First Article and Production inspections.

4.8.1 Minor. Failure to comply with the requirements of the following paragraphs will constitute minor defects:

Design (paragraph 3.3)

Finish (paragraph 3.7)

Surfaces (paragraph 3.8)

Identification marking (paragraph 3.9)

4.8.1.1 Rejection for minor defects. Batches rejected for minor defects may be reworked and resubmitted for inspection when they are in compliance with the requirements of this specification. Resubmitted batches shall be clearly identified as such and shall be kept separate from new batches.

4.8.1.2 Sampling. Samples for inspections and tests performed during the Coast Guard production inspection will be randomly selected from batches by the COR, according to the sampling plans described below.

4.8.1.3 Sampling plan for inspection of minor defects. The unit of inspection will be one shackle assembly, one shackle pin, one Modeer shackle assembly, or one split key. The number of samples and accept/reject values will be in accordance with Table IV.
