The test procedures noted in the specifications and additional clarifications in this document are the standards by which all testing shall be performed. For each carpet roll lot/delivery, including first article quantities, the contractor must perform testing and submit copies of all inspection/test results and any additional data to the NSWC IHD Technical POC for review.

3.5.1 Product Conformance

The N-5 propellant sheet stock will be analyzed per the test requirements of Specification MIL-P-17689 and per Table 1 below. Two sets of samples shall be taken. One set of samples will be analyzed by the contractor and the second set of samples will be shipped to NSWC IHD for analysis. Each pair of samples shall be taken from the same location to ensure the samples are comparable.

Except as otherwise specified, the contractor may utilize his own facilities or any commercial laboratory acceptable to the US government, for testing and inspection of samples included in the TDP. Sample units will be randomly selected from the entire lot/test quantity. Unless otherwise specified, the sample units are considered to be destructively tested and are in addition to those delivered under the contract.

Prior to delivery, the lot shall have been inspected and met all other requirements of the contract. Unless otherwise authorized by the Government, a lot shall not be delivered if rejected for nonconformance to the detailed requirements of the specification(s), drawing(s), and SOW.
