PART II. CONFORMANCE PROVISIONS

1. General provisions.

1.1 Classification of characteristics. There are three classes of characteristics covered in this QAP. These are:

Critical Characteristics, Major Characteristics, and Minor Characteristics, as defined in MIL-STD-1916.

1.2 Workmanship. All parts shall be fabricated and finished in a thorough, workmanlike manner and all manufacturing, processing and assembly shall be correctly performed. The parts shall be clean and free of burrs, sharp edges, unblended radii, surface defects, cracks, chips, dirt, grease, oil (except where specifically required), rust, foreign matter or any evidence of poor workmanship that could render the system unsuitable for its intended purpose.

1.3 Certification provisions.

1.3.1 Certificate of conformance (COC). A certificate of conformance is required for Military Standard and commercial items, supported by inspection and test data, material analysis, or certification from the raw material producer or processor, and shall be made available to the Government for specifications covering raw material, processed material, and processes. The contractor shall make the COC available to the Government prior to or with the request to perform acceptance inspection approval by the Government. This is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights of the Government under this contract or law. A COC may be used as an element incident to, but shall not be used as the sole basis for, Government acceptance of contract item(s) unless so indicated in the technical documentation or contract. As a minimum, the COC shall contain the following:

a. Name of company and date.

b. Contract number or purchase order number, national stock number and drawing number.

c. Complete nomenclature of supplies together with lot number or other identification. The quantity in each lot or shipment shall be given.

d. A statement, as follows, certifying that material meets all requirements of the contract:

“The undersigned, individually, and as the authorized representative of the contractor, warrants and represents that: All the information supplied above is true and accurate; the material covered by this certificate conforms to all contract requirements (including but not limited to the drawings and specifications); the analyses appearing herein are true and accurate analyses; and this certificate is made for the purpose of inducing payment and with knowledge that the information and certification may be used as a basis for such payment.”

e. Signature and title of certifying official.

1.3.2 Certified test reports (CTR). When specified in the contract or in documents referenced herein, the contractor shall make available to the Government a CTR for each lot of parts, assemblies, subsystems and systems by lot number prior to acceptance. This test report is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights of the Government under this contract or law. A CTR may be used as an element incident to, but shall not be used as the sole basis for, Government acceptance of contract item(s) unless so indicated in the technical documentation or contract. As a minimum, the report shall contain the following:

b. Contract number or purchase order number, national stock number and drawing number.

c. Complete nomenclature of supplies together with lot number or other identification. The quantity in each lot or shipment shall be given

d. All inspections and tests required by contract (i.e., material, processes, performance, functional, etc.) shall be recorded in test reports. These reports shall identify each lot submitted for acceptance by lot number, the specification or drawing, revision and date, grade or type as applicable, number of specimens tested, specified characteristics and requirements, and actual results obtained.

e. Reports of the raw material producer’s chemical, mechanical, and physical analysis.

f. A statement, as follows, certifying that material meets all requirements of the contract:

“The undersigned, individually, and as the authorized representative of the contractor, warrants and represents that: All the information supplied above is true and accurate; the material covered by this certificate conforms to all contract requirements (including but not limited to the drawings and specifications); the analyses appearing herein are true and accurate analyses; and this certificate is made for the purpose of inducing payment and with knowledge that the information and certification may be used as a basis for such payment.”

2. First article inspection.

2.1 Submission. Unless otherwise specified, a first article sample consisting of three (3) suspension arms shall be submitted for inspection and approval in accordance with the terms of this contract. The sample items will be subjected to any or all of the conformance inspections listed in Part III of this QAP and may be inspected for compliance with any or all of the requirements of the applicable drawing(s) and specification(s). The certification requirements of Part IV apply.

2.2 Rejection. If any sample item fails to comply with any of the applicable requirements, the First Article sample shall be rejected. The Government reserves the right to terminate inspection upon any failure to comply with any of the requirements.

3. Verification. Verification inspection shall consist of inspection of all conformance characteristics contained in Part III, Inspection Requirements, and Part IV, Certification Provisions, of this QAP. Failure to comply with the conformance criteria specified shall be cause for rejection of the lot or quantity represented.

PART II. CONFORMANCE PROVISIONS (CONT’D)

3.2 Attributes sampling inspection. The provisions/procedures of MIL- STD-1916 are applicable to this QAP. Unless otherwise specified, attributes sampling for the conformance characteristics listed in Part III herein shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-1916, Table II, using the verification level cited in the conformance criteria columns of Part III. The procedure in MIL-STD-1916 for normal inspection shall be used at the start of production for current or previous suppliers of the item. For all new suppliers of the item, tightened inspection shall be used at the start of production and be continued until the criteria for normal inspection are met.

3.3 Alternative verification provisions. Unless otherwise specified, alternative verification provisions, such as statistical process control (preferred), variables or continuous sampling plans, may be used by the contractor in lieu of the inspection provisions contained herein when such alternative(s) provide an equivalent or better level of quality, and provided they have been described in a written proposal which has been approved by the Government.

3.4 Inspection equipment. Unless otherwise specified herein or the contract, all inspection equipment required to perform the examinations and tests in this QAP shall be designed, documented and maintained by the contractor, including any fixtures necessary to accommodate the test procedures. Inspection equipment shall incorporate the appropriate measurement capability, precision and accuracy to assure rejection of all nonconforming product.
