SHADE TESTING PROCEDURE

The following procedures are for shade of NU-PD 21006, CLOTH, RIPSTOP, FLAME RESISTANT to determine acceptability of submitted samples to establish reliability for process performance.

a. Shade Evaluation. Shade Evaluation is Acceptance Testing; each lot must be submitted for evaluation. Lots shall not be shipped until shade is approved by

Government. The prime contractor will require the fabric or component supplier to present to the source QAS the complete lot prepared for shipment, a set of tally sheets by shipment listing case numbers, roll numbers, and yardage of each roll and a shade swatch

(header) from each roll with roll and case numbers identified on each swatch. The following sampling procedure will be followed unless otherwise specified.

b. 100% swatching is required.

c. Cutting Swatches. The DCMA QAS is required to physically sample the material in manner stated below, as defined by the contract. The result of the material sampling will be two sets of samples: Set A and Set B. Set A shall be sent to DLA

Product Test Center for evaluation. Set B shall be cut in half, one set sent to the prime QAS for lot integrity, the other set shall be retained by the component supplier.

1. Single color rolls - 4"x24". QAS cuts this sample in half to have A and B sets, both sets shall be 4"x12". The 12" should be in the Filling Direction or crossmachine direction.

d. Submission. Each lot of a component required by the contract to have shade evaluation shall be submitted to the DLA Product Test Center—

Analytical for evaluation. Samples shall be selected, stamped, and signed off by the source QAS. Samples, accompanied with a DD Form 1222, Section A completed in its entirety, shall be forwarded to the Government for evaluation to the following address. Incomplete DD Form 1222s will be returned, and the lot not evaluated until the corrected form is received. See DLA TS CT AQAR, Section 5.3, DD
