b. Quality conformance inspection (see 4.5)

4.2 Inspection conditions. Unless otherwise specified, all inspections shall be performed in accordance with the test conditions specified in 4.6 and 4.7.

4.3 First article inspection. First article inspection shall be performed after award of contract and prior to production at a location acceptable to the Government. First article inspection shall be performed on sample units which have been produced with equipment and procedures normally used in production.

First article approval is valid only on the contract under which it is granted, unless extended by the Government to other contracts.

4.3.1 Sample size. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), 25 header glass assemblies, 25 loaded ignition element assemblies and 94 cartridge assemblies shall be submitted for first article inspection.

4.3.2 Inspection routine.

4.3.2.1 Header glass seal assembly. The header glass seal assembly shall be tested as specified in 4.6.1.

4.3.2.2 Ignition element loaded assemblies. The ignition element loaded assemblies shall be loaded into modified cartridge cases conforming to Drawing 5184845 and tested as specified in 4.6.2.

4.3.2.3 Cartridge assembly. The cartridges shall undergo the tests of 4.6.3 following environmental exposure as described in MIL-D-81303. Tolerance on temperatures shall be ± 5° F. The environmental exposures shall be as follows: temperature and humidity (18), vibration (12), 20 "g" shock (12), 6-foot drop (6), 70°F (12), −65°F (12), and 200° F (12). The number in parentheses denotes number of cartridges. Temperature conditioning at the extremes shall be no less than 6 hours and no more than 24 hours. Firings shall be conducted in the variable volume test fixture. No cartridge shall produce results outside the limits of 3.5.1 through 3.5.4 and no cartridge shall fail to meet the limits of 3.5.5.

4.3.3 Failures. The failure of any cartridge to meet the requirements as stated above shall cause rejection of the first article sample. If more than 5 cartridges fail the leak test specified in 4.6.3.3 the first article sample shall be rejected.

4.4 Classification of characteristics. The characteristics verified by the tests and examinations herein are classified as Critical, Major or Minor in accordance with DOD-STD-2101. Tests and examinations that verify critical characteristics are identified by the symbol (C) and major characteristics by the symbol (M). The number following the classification symbol indicates the serial number of test or examination.
