4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS

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 performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the

Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the 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 must meet all requirements of sections 3 and 5. The inspection set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractor’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 acceptance of defective material.

4.1.2 Certificate of compliance. Where certificates of compliance are submitted, the Government reserves the right to check test such items to determine the validity of the certification.

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

1. First article inspection (see 4.3).

2. Quality conformance inspection (see 4.4).

4.3 First article inspection. When required, the first article submitted in accordance with 3.2, shall be inspected as specified in 4,4.2 for compliance with design, construction, workmanship, appearance and dimensional requirements.

4.4 Quality conformance inspection., Sampling for inspection shall be performed In accordance with MIL-STD-105, except where-otherwise indicated.

4.4.1 Component and material inspection. In accordance with 4.1 above, components and materials shall be tested in accordance with all the requirements ‘of referenced specifications, drawings, and standards unless otherwise excluded, amended, modified, or qualified in this specification or applicable procurement documents. A certificate of compliance shall be submitted for the material identification and finish.of. the’hardware items specified in 3.3.6.1 thru 3.3.6.7.

4.4.2 Examination of the end item. Examination of the end item shall be in accordance with 4.4.2.1 through 4.4.2.4. The lot size shall be expressed in units of one legging. The sample unit for this examination shall be one legging and the selection shall be by pairs. The sample unit for pairing defects shall be one pair and defects for pairing shall be classified as a single defect.

4.4.2.1 Visual examination. The leggings shall be examined for defects in COIOr, des~~, material, construction, workmanship, and marking and the defects classified in accordance with the following list.
